====== Connecting to Dune Securely with Tinyfugue ======

DUNE and Tinyfugue both support [[https://www.cloudflare.com/en-ca/learning/ssl/transport-layer-security-tls/|Transport Layer Security (TLS)]].

Connections to Dune using TLS are encrypted so that your password and other data are secure at all times. By contrast, when you connect to Dune on the **telnet** port (//6789//), there is no encryption and your password and all other data are transmitted insecurely over the internet.

**If you're using the beta build of Tinyfugue (5.0b8) there's no reason to use the telnet port! Choose the secure port (//6788//) instead!!**

===== How to Connect Securely =====
  * If you require the beta build of Tinyfugue, Debian-based users can use apt-get and run 'tf5' from the shell:
<code>sudo apt-get install tf5
tf5</code> 
Otherwise, visit [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/tinyfugue/|https://sourceforge.net/projects/tinyfugue/]] to compile and install it yourself.
  * Define your world normally with the /addworld command (or a world file):
<code>/addworld -Tlp.mud Bebop dunemud.net 6788</code>
  * Simply use the /connect command with the '-x' argument to connect securely
<code>/connect -x Bebop</code>

And you're done!
