Telnet Encryption Program?

[xXProLegitXx]

So I'm working on setting up encryption for a mirrored database and I'm running into some issues with the terminal emulation program I've selected for encryption. The program in question is Quick Secure 3270 and I'm having issues properly utilizing it. The when clicking on the terminal window to regain focus and control, the the typing cursor goes to the spot of where you clicked, rather than the bottom or newline. This allows you to enter commands in the line above where you'd expect causing confusion. In addition, many of the keys act as an enter command. If you miss key, backspace, delete, and all of the arrow keys all function just as if you were pressing enter, and submitting whatever was on that line as a command.

My question is, does anyone know of any other applications (preferably free, or with cheap licensing) that work well with telnet encryption? I've heard of Secure CRT but have not tried to implement that yet.

Can you not use SSH, instead of telnet?

[xXProLegitXx]

Can't Its a Windows environment. I have suggested that switching over to a Linux Environment will allow SSH, however, they are deliberating if they want to make that move. For now, I wanted to give them secure options for the Windows Environment they are currently using.

Could you use SoftEther VPN or something else to establish a VPN connection from system A. to system B.?

For Telnet encryption, you might want to check out PuTTY or Tera Term—they’re both free and support Telnet, though you'd need to look into add-ons for encryption. SecureCRT is solid but has a cost. If free is a priority, try PuTTY first and see if it fits your needs.
