MUME Help

ENCRYPTION, SSL, TLS

If you want to use an encrypted channel to play MUME over (so you don't send passwords or anything else in plain text over the Internet), you can connect using TLS (version 1.0 or newer).

To do this, you need either a TLS-capable client, proxy your client through MMapper, or run a TLS tunnel (see help stunnel).

While not connected over TLS, the info command will say (not encrypted) after Session: <time>.

TLS is detected automatically, so you can connect to the regular MUME port.

Some clients call their TLS command SSL instead, which is the name of an older, deprecated, standard.

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.
