  • Bot-Gate v2.3

    From Rob McGee@1:105/44 to All on Fri Jul 17 09:31:11 2026
    BotGate v2.3 - TCP bot gate for any telnet BBS or App. ESC/* challenge before reaching your real BBS. NEW: multi-listener support - protect 2+ apps from one BotGate. Custom ANSI prompts, live count-down, .can blocklists, geo-block, reverse-DNS, auto rate-limit bans. Pure Python3, zero deps. Linux/Win/Mac. Built for Spitfire BBS works on all.

    Nutshell, i built this as bot's could tip over my Spitfire/Netserial BBS if they hit to hard. With the v2.3 update it now supports more than one system. So, I have it as a proxy for my Spitfire BBS and Space Quest 2112 server due to the fact SQGS would also lock up from time to time.

    This was a fun project.. hope it works for others.

    I guess it would have helped if I added a link to my message :D
