Now that Google , FB wants to trap us and control every aspect of the Internet browsing, Is it even possible to break free.
Or creating new Internet is a unrealistic idea ?

telnet
is an insecure protocol. Ideally you should usessh
insteadbut mostwhich some modern BBS’s support both. Of course if you want to dial in on legacy “authentic” hardware then SSH isn’t possible.💡You can SSH (or telnet) from your phone using Termux and it works pretty well (though admittedly not as good without full ANSI support). It doesn’t use full height of screen but is still usable. BBS’s could be enhanced to support that though.
Here’s an example of how one looks on my phone:
ssh NEW@bbs.bottomlessabyss.net -p 2222 -c aes256-cbc
I really like Termius for SSH on Android (dunno if it’s on iOS). I use it for all my servers.
This looks fucking awesome.
In my part of the BBS-world telnet is the only option. I’m a C64 guy, and a TCP stack is memory hungry enough for 64k of RAM.
But yes, encrypt when available.
