WarMUX game server

The default listening port for a WarMUX (formerly Wormux) game server — an open-source turn-based artillery game.

TCP IANA: warmux

Description

WarMUX is a free turn-based artillery game in the Worms mould, started as Wormux in 2002 and renamed in 2010; IANA registered 3826 to its game server. The shipped server config in the project's own tree uses 3826, and the Debian warmux-servers package installs the standalone game server and the index server that publishes public games. Development stopped years ago — the last upstream release is from 2011 — so a listener here is a long-running hobby server or an old distro package still enabled.

Exposed to the internet?

Expose with care

A public game server is meant to accept strangers, but this one is unmaintained C++ parsing untrusted network input, so run it as an unprivileged user in a container and do not co-locate it with anything you care about.
