Telnet interface

mt-multiserver-proxy provides a telnet interface that can be used to execute proxy chat commands.

Differences to chat interface

Telnet clients can execute any chat command. They do not have any privileges, only the chat command permission check will succeed. Plugin developers should add a check for telnet clients if they have any internal permission checks.

Security

There is no authentication at all. For this reason the telnet server only listens on the loopback interface by default.

Connecting

The telnet server listens on the IPv6 loopback address "::1" and TCP port 40010 by default. Use the telnet command to connect.

Disconnecting

Type \quit or \q to close the connection. All telnet clients will also be disconnected when the proxy shuts down.
