MUME Help

STUNNEL

stunnel is a recommended TLS tunnel (http://www.stunnel.org), which is easy to install on Linux or macOS. Probably Windows too, but who knows…

You need to configure it, so save the following as mume-tls.conf, tested with stunnel 5.44 on macOS:

    [mume]
    accept = 8888
    client = yes
    connect = mume.org:4242
    CAfile = /etc/ssl/cert.pem
    verifyChain = yes
    checkHost = mume.org

or this with stunnel 5.56 on Ubuntu Linux:

    pid =
    [mume]
    accept = localhost:8888
    client = yes
    connect = mume.org:4242
    CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
    verify = 2
    checkHost = mume.org

and start stunnel as stunnel ./mume-tls.conf. You can then connect via localhost:8888, and your communication will be encrypted. Exactly how to do that depends on your client.

What is MUME?

MUME, Multi-Users in Middle-earth, is a multiplayer text-based online game based upon J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth during the epic wars of the late Third Age between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the Free peoples. MUME is completely at no cost and has been continuously running, expanded, and remastered by a community of volunteers since 1991.
