I have PFSense, just hadn't implemented it yet. Good to know that I can do it relatively easy enough with that.

Right, I've done that.

For some reason Cloudflare won't forward telnet requests which I think is the issue that I am experiencing.

Even with ports open and forwarded to private IP addresses, it still won't work right.

I'm using WWIV right now, and can see what Windows users can leave their port set to 23 with no issues, but Linux uses 2323 because Linux blocks that port/protocol.

Ultimately, I'd love to have a way to point a telnet client to subdomain.domain.ext without a port number defined and have it work properly.

On linux you can use setcap to give regular users to ability to open ports below 1024. Normally only root can do that. There is page on the Synchronet wiki that explains it nicely..

I thought the same here - then I logged into the Agency BBS and found that the original message was from December 2023 - so it wasn't lost today. Just missing for some of us who don't have the mail from that time on our system.
