      Hi,
      How to use "The Dude" network monitoring? https://downloads.tomsguide.com/The-Dude,0301-30734.html
      i'musing this few years back and i usually install it in Windows OS then the server and client will run on same PC. Now it seems the server is a router and i can no longer run server and client on same PC. Is that correct? Is there a way for me to install the server on Windows PC?

        Not sure what you mean. The Dude is network monitoring software that only runs on Windows. It's an .exe file. So no router can run it.

        Just go to The Dude's download page (don't use third party download sites)... https://mikrotik.com/download

        When you download, it's an .exe. Just install on whatever Windows PC you want.

          I installed and run but I get connection error. I maybe doing it wrong. My server is localhost. Do I need to install anything of just dude-install-6.42.10 exe?

            I think that that is it. Can you show what you are seeing?

                Ah, you are correct and they have not done a good job of labeling their downloads. The only download for The Dude is for Windows, but is only the client.

                The Dude itself runs only on RouterOS but has no download under The Dude from the vendor.

                https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:The_Dude_v6/Installation

                Looks like it won't work for you.

                    A few years ago it wasn't owned by a router vendor.

                            No problem. Unfortunately it's not the best news. But at least you found something that will work for you.
