Threshold · 03-11-2010, 09:51 PM

Since its opening, Threshold has run on port 23. This was generally most convenient for people as it is the primary telnet port. Also, it was the least likely port to be blocked by schools or work.

Flash forward 14 years, and now there are workplaces that block port 23 occasionally.

I'd like to give my players more options, so I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for the best/easiest ways to have other ports forward to 23.

Since I don't like to take Threshold down very often, the simplest, most reliable method would definitely be appreciated.
