Run without a proxy? #4

Closed abraxas86 closed 6 years ago

Just wondering what the purpose of the proxy is? Is there any way to get this running without the proxy?

fTelnet can only connect directly to servers that "speak" WebSocket. If you have a server that does, then a proxy is not required.

But if you want to connect to a server that only speaks Telnet/RLogin, then a proxy is needed to basically act as a translator for the two ends.
