@btr@social.cpp.org.pl @pitz@mastodon.social I think atalkvpn is running fine as a port for TashRouter (at least there's no errors!). But I cannot connect via the Atalkvpn extension. The server address is stored in STR right and not ADDR?

@fergycool@mastodon.social @warandpeas@mastodon.social that's what I forgot to mention: you need to modify the AppleTalk over IP extension with ResEdit, i.e. the STR resource, ID 131 needs to be set to your public IP / hostname. The extension also stores its prefs in System Folder:Preferences:mac68k.info but changing the STR value in there has no effect (looks like a bug). Username and password fields are completely ignored for now. I have a working password check implementation somewhere, but I haven't pushed it yet, pending some cleanup. Also, since it uses DES, it only gives a false sense of security (-; The other thing is the ValueError raised by Datagram.as_short_header_bytes(). I haven't yet figured out why it happens and for now I'm just changing line 118 in tashrouter/datagram.py. Instead of: raise ValueError('Invalid hop count ... ') I have: print('WARNING: invalid hop count ...') CC @smallsco@oldbytes.space
