Telnet is an awful insecure protocol that should never be used for anything other than problem determination and debugging. Use ssh like everyone else!

[yrybb233]

use ssh
ssh -p 22 root@192.168.169.128

remember
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=23/tcp --permanent&&firewall-cmd --reload

Thank you for the information, I'll use SSH. I was just trying to practice telnet btw.
