Help. How to make telnet always on #18

Open soltim opened 2 years ago

It would be possible to keep the telnet server active after reboot without having to press the physical reset?

Seems like this would be a security hole.

What is your goal?

I have a scenario where six units are used and I need to adjust channel and power separately. As these parameters are not editable via the app and are also not synchronized with the gateway node (channel, power and channel width are defined in the firmware of each node) the process of pressing the reset button to enable telnet makes it unfeasible to testing and mesh optimization. Considering that telnet would only be accessible on the local network, as they are configured in bridge mode and access to them would be blocked by my router's firewall, it would not be a security issue for my use.
