I'm not sure what I did, but I am unable to telgate now. Something I did is causing me to get this when I try:

Connecting to remote host ...
!ERROR -1 (49) binding to socket
telgate.js: Failed to connect to remote host

It was working fine for a long time, but something I changed recently must have broken it, and I have no idea what it could have been. It's not the receiving end. I can directly connect to it.

Any insight would be very welcome.

Double-check the value of your [BBS] OutboundInterface setting in ctrl/sbbs.ini. If it's blank, maybe you're having a problem with IPv4 or IPv6 address binding in general. Try instead:
- 0.0.0.0
- ::
- The IPv4 address of your primary network adapter

There we go!
The OutboundInterface was set to 255.255.255.255. Removing that and leaving it blank fixed the issue. I don't remember changing that, but here we are.

Thank you. For the help, for Synchronet, and for all your work. You rock!
