NETCHAT Server, in Rust.

Deprecation warning

⚠️This is now deprecated. It is useless because TINET got discontinued and we have Matrix/IRC anyway.

NETCHAT is a chatting server that uses TINET for authentication.
I've chosen to rewrite it in Rust for better performance and just because I like Rust.

The original server is here

How to use

Download the latest release from here and run it.
It'll fetch the latest stable default config file if it's the first run.
Edit the config file carefully and start the server back up.

Don't forget to allow the port you use (default: 2052) through your firewall if you have one.

Security warning

⚠️ This server is still in rewrite progress, please do not expect a safe server yet, make sure to set up your firewall correctly to prevent attacks on your machine!

Ideally, please only use this server if you know what you're doing.
