  • Mystic to Mystic telnet

    From Alonzo@21:1/130 to All on Saturday, July 08, 2023 16:25:37
    I am trying a little experiment, just for fun.. Since Mystic BBS can Telnet out to other places, I was trying to have my main BBS computer connect by Telnet to a second computer, also running Mystic.

    But then I realized that I have to set up port forwarding to this second computer, but how can I do that when I already have the port forwarded to my main computer? I think there would be a conflict there.

    Is there any other way to have sort of a local BBS network, with 2 or more all communicating with each other? again, I am just experimenting but I think it would be fun to do.

    I assume both computers would be on the same local network. If that's the
    case, you would just need to reference the ip address and port number like: 192.168.1.10:23 to reach the second computer. I've done this while moving Mystic from my linux box to the windows one.

    I have my 2nd (fresh install) running on port 23 (all that install does it catches bots/hacks/etc. and blacklists them.

    My Main BBS is 62323 (but I also FWD 2323 to that internal IP).
    This 62323 is also on my .php Web Telnet for those not using something like NetRunner, etc.

    You will either need:
    1 - different IP for that 2nd install
    2 - different PORT for that 2nd install (the easiest)

    You can also play around with rLogin or SSH pass as well!

    I was hoping others would have replied to my question regarding NODE passage as well -- like you can with a door game, but if I wanted to login to NODE 5 specific from my console, I could. This would free up NODE 1 for anyone logging in and wanting to play those Door Games that only run on a single node (aka node 1 for me).

    Port forwarding is a function of your router, not Mystic. So you should look there for your answer.

    I've set up a little Mystic system on an old Pi that I had. I used a different Telnet port - just to keep the "wardialers" from flooding my system with login requests. It was very easy to do on my router.

    That's what I figured, but I thought I had to set up port forwarding on my router to the second computer. I will give this a try. Thanks!

    Using a different port sounds like the best idea yet. Thanks for the tip.
