The TCP Server interface is suitable for allowing other peers to connect over the Internet or private IP networks. When a TCP server interface has been configured, other Reticulum peers can connect to it with a TCP Client interface.

[[TCP Server Interface]]

type = TCPServerInterface

interface_enabled = True

# This configuration will listen on all IP

# interfaces on port 4242

listen_ip = 0.0.0.0

listen_port = 4242

# Alternatively you can bind to a specific IP

# listen_ip = 10.0.0.88

# listen_port = 4242

# Or a specific network device

# device = eth0

# port = 4242

Please Note! The TCP interfaces support tunneling over I2P, but to do so reliably, you must use the i2p_tunneled option:

[[TCP Server on I2P]]

type = TCPServerInterface

interface_enabled = yes

listen_ip = 127.0.0.1

listen_port = 5001

i2p_tunneled = yes

In almost all cases, it is easier to use the dedicated I2PInterface, but for complete control, and using I2P routers running on external systems, this option also exists.
