Run `afl-network-server` with your target with the -m and -t values you need.
Important is the -i parameter which is the TCP port to listen on.

### networking
The TARGET can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address, or a host name that resolves to
either. Note that also the outgoing interface can be specified with a '%' for

Also make sure your default TCP window size is larger than your MAP_SIZE
(130kb is a good value).
