Anyone using SSL on Synchronet? How did you implement? Server sitting in public domain or behind a fw/router? What telnet client do you use for Telnet over TLS/SSL?

Thanks.

Anyone using SSL on Synchronet? How did you implement? Server sitting in public domain or behind a fw/router? What telnet client do you use for Telnet over TLS/SSL?

Synchronet has an SSH service built in... if you want HTTPS, your best bet is to setup a reverse-proxy server. Nginx can do this on *nix, and IIS + Application Request Routing (ARR) on windows can do the same.

I would suggest forwarding directory requests as well as anything ending in .xjs or .ssjs through, and serving static files (images, css, etc) via the server doing https.

Just make sure ssh is enables and use that. Syncterm will do ssh as well as putty
using cp437 translation.

The Synchronet web server in v3.17 (the current dev builds) supports HTTPS/TLS, built-in.

Synchronet Vertrauen Home of Synchronet telnet://vert.synchro.net

I ended up installing STunnel and created a CA, intermediate cert, and server cert. I had issues with the links as they are hard reference to http and not https (ecweb). Corrected the links is serveral ssjs files and https now works fully for the website

Cool, wasn't aware that HTTPS was supported.
Any chance of seeing ACME/LetsEncrypt integration?

I'm still likely to use nginx or iis+arr in front of synchronet.

It's on my TODO list, but LetsEncrypt is frankly pretty scary to a system admin. I haven't looked at ACME.

There's thinner clients, a few in golang look interesting and far simpler
ACME, the full letsencrypt looks pretty horrific, agreed... but the idea for BBS integration would be pretty cool.
