Maybe for my LoT (LAN of Things): having multiple (even many) local LANs some each with their section of LoT equipment nicely separated and partially being able to talk to some of the other LANs or part of the outside world.
Some links that might help me getting this set up:

How I use Linux to write software for multiple target platforms – Kris Kamil Jacewicz – Google+
WINE has come a long way. Many things do not have a native look and feel, but so do many Delphi FMX or Lazarus LCL applications.
In fact I use quite a few tools (including Mikrotik WinBox) through Wine on Mac OS and it runs a lot more stable than quite a few of the FMX applications I’ve tried and ditched.
So for business applications not requiring a platform specific look and feel this indeed is quite acceptable direction to follow.

Just in case you see UDP port 5678 in the firewall log of your MikroTik device: it’s usage of the MikroTik Neighbor Discovery Protocol (MNDP) [WayBack] protocol.
You can either block Neighbour Discovery [WayBack] in the firewall or turn it off on the MikroTik Services [WayBack] or inspect any of these protocols:

Though the Mikrotik people seem reluctant to make the font size in Winbox configurable, if you run it through WineBottler on OS X, you can scale the individual app. It’s not very pretty but makes it easier to use.
The trick is based on the Windows DPI font settings explained for instance at DPI Display Size Settings – Change – Windows 7 Help Forums and Large Fonts in Registry: Where Exactly? | PC Review but then in Wine.
For Windows, this is a system wide setting, but on a WineBottler application there is one “Windows environment” per application, so it’s application specific and should work for other applications than WinBox as well.
It makes it much easier to do script editing now.

I’ve not tracked down the cause yet, but these seem to be related:

Edit 20260501: be careful, as this damaged the NAND memory of my router because of too many write cycles. Root cause: too high update frequency.
Interesting: middelink/mikrotik-fwban: Use your Mikrotik firewall to do fail2ban like blocking of unwanted IPs. Written in Go.
It might beat these (that just count SSH connections, not failed connection attempts)

The RouterOS scripting language you can use on Mikrotik device immediately shows it’s origin: the console.
As promised some links to questions I asked:

MikroTik has great hardware, but getting things to work can be a bit ehm intimidating.
So here are some links that were useful getting my CCR1009 and CRS226 configurations to do what I wanted.

Buffalo WLAE-AG300N is one of those buggy DHCP clients… Even running firmware Ver.1.85 (R1.05/B1.00)), it gets the length of the DHCP host name wrong so adds a bogus NULL byte to that name.
@Buffalo: please fix this.
The DHCP client options are of structure Type/Length/Value so a client is supposed to set the length of the hostname to exactly the number of characters.
However there exist buggy clients that either send a length of 1 more and a \00 at the end of the name, or send a fixed length and pad it with \00 as necessary.
Fromt a packet capture:
