If not specified, TCP routers will accept requests from all defined entry points.
If you want to limit the router scope to a set of entry points, set the entry points option.
??? info "How to handle Server First protocols?"
To correctly handle a request, Traefik needs to wait for the first
few bytes to arrive before it can decide what to do with it.
For protocols where the server is expected to send first, such
as SMTP, if no specific setup is in place, we could end up in
a situation where both sides are waiting for data and the
connection appears to have hanged.
The only way that Traefik can deal with such a case, is to make
sure that on the concerned entry point, there is no TLS router
whatsoever (neither TCP nor HTTP), and there is at least one
non-TLS TCP router that leads to the server in question.
