Good afternoon,
I am running Synchronet v3.19 for Windows. I have all been running with no issues until today or possibly yesterday. The web
client
hands up when trying to connect using the connect via telnet button.
The services have all worked, and the rest still do. This is the only known issue I am aware of. This could have been going on
longer that just a few days. (I don't normally connect in this fashion) I use ssh, rlogin, or regular telnet.
Any ideas/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jerry (Stingray)
Accessing https://lunarout.synchro.net:14443 from outside my LAN the "Connect via Telnet" doesn't work.
The telnet screen just goes black.
While on my LAN it does work.
Ports for my system are not standard at my firewall.

Check your port forwarding rules on your router/firewall and make sure that 14443 is open and pointed to your BBS machine.

Hi Dumas,
Its there. I can get to the webpage and login without using the "Connect via Telenet" button.
I've even opened standard ports, and still it doesn't work.
I'm not understanding why it just goes blank.
Are there logs specific to what I think is fTelnet?

Howdy,

What ports have you opened?
The telnet connect button is making a websocket connection on port 11235. I've tried connecting to that port and got no response - so it's likely your firewall is dropping it, or if it is forwarding it, the host it is forwarding it to is either wrong, or if correct that host is dropping it.

That proves that your web port is open (likely 80 unless you changed it to 14443). For ftelnet to work from remote, you also need to have a couple of other ports open. Check your ctrl\services.ini for the following sections:
;WebSocket service (for fTelnet loaded via http://).
;For troubleshooting, please see https://www.ftelnet.ca/synchronet/
[WS]
Port=1123
Options=NO_HOST_LOOKUP
Command=websocketservice.js
;WebSocket Secure service (for fTelnet loaded via https://).
;For troubleshooting, please see https://www.ftelnet.ca/synchronet/
[WSS]
Port=11235
Options=NO_HOST_LOOKUP | TLS
Command=websocketservice.js
If you don't have the ports listed open on your firewall, your remove ftelnet connections won't work.
Are there logs specific to what I think is fTelnet?
That would be a question for digital man but, if those ports above are not open, I am not sure there would be any activity for synchronet to log.

fTelnet uses Websockets, so you're interested in the WS and WSS services, configured in your ctrl/service.ini file.

Ports in that service where not open. I didn't realize they needed to bepen.
I've opened the secure port for fTelnet and its working properly.
