start a tcp server using pacletsender command cli ?

Packet Sender CLI does not support starting a TCP server on the command line. Only the GUI has it. This feature has been requested several times.

Hello Dan, is there a plan to bring this feature (starting TCP server) any time in Packet Sender CLI? Btw, thanks a lot for this amazing tool!

It is on the roadmap, but without a sponsor, it is not a high priority. That is why this request has lingered for so long.

Comments like yours and hitting upvotes does help bring attention to the most wanted bug fixes and features. Getting accurate feedback to adjust priorities is difficult on this project because the app intentionally has zero tracking and zero analytics.
