List of MUDs that can be connected to securely (TLS)

I think it would be useful to record here the connection details for MUDs where the "Secure" option (to use SSL/TLS) to connect over an encrypted link to the Server as opposed to the plain-text standard Telnet one, can be used. I would like to collate them in this first post so any replies with the:
  • Mud name
  • Language used (I will assume English {American} en_US unless told otherwise)
  • Port number(s) for Secure connections
  • Alternative Port number(s) for plain Telnet connections (if provided)
would be gratefully received and added in.

From MudList means sourced from the data at: https://tintin.sourceforge.io/protocols ... dlist.html and possibly visits to their web-site.

Avalon is included but it currently (as of 4.8.2) is set for the open connection on port 23 - this may change now I am aware of it.

M*U*S*H is the reference implementation of the PennMUSH Server.

Shadowgate recommends Mudlet as a cross-platform MUD Client. :)

ChatMUD only had a skeletal website so it was difficult to establish if it was an operable MU*.

The inclusion of a MU* here is only an indication that they appear to offer a means to connect to them via an encrypted link - the game concerned may not be in a playable state or even running!

The only 2 I've tried are my own, I've been logging into them securely with Mudlet for a few months:

The Eternal Fantasy eternalfantasy.org:3333, 3334 TLS
TimMUD timmud.com:5555, 5556 TLS

Grapevine has some but you have to look at the profile page for each game to find them, so there's probably more, but I found:

ChatMUD, chatmud.com:7777, 7443
MidMUD, midmud.com:5555, 5443

This MSSP crawler data page shows a bunch listing SSL in their MSSP data. I haven't tested any.
It has about 20, some in the SSL variable in MSSP and a few mention SSL in the login screen.

Will add StickMUD (stickmud.com)- one of the Mudlet predefined ones using 8680 for TLS/SSL (7680 for unencrypted connections) once Pull Request #4072 gets into the next release.
