Connecting to my Nethack/DGamelaunch Server

nethack Logo

Running Battle for Multiuser Nethack over I2P is possible using “Standard” streaming tunnels.

  1. First, set up a client tunnel:
  1. Pick a “Standard” tunnel for your tunnel type:
  1. Set a tunnel name and description:
  1. Enter: zcojbufszefu5bfht5cem3zlhfvv5y3jzpzbaccu3ehje4d7pb2a.b32.i2p as the destination:
  1. Pick a local host and port. This is the port you will telnet to to connect.
  1. Decide whether you want the tunnel to start automatically:
  1. Make sure the settings look ok, and save the new tunnel:

It may improve performance to reduce the length of your tunnel. Since playing Multiuser Nethack is a mostly low-risk activity, I recommend visiting the nethack.idk.i2p tunnel on the I2P Tunnel Manager Page, http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnelmgr and changint the settings to use short, 1-hop tunnels. These are the tunnel settings I use.

Then you can connect to the Nethack server by running the command:

telnet localhost 7680

If you would rather set up your tunnel by dropping in a configuration file, you can use this one: i2ptunnel-nethack.conf or copy-paste the section below.
