Looks like you’re after an Australian MQTT server.
Please note this page is now deprecated by the
information provided at meshtastic.au.
I suggest you go there now.
Changes to meshtastic firmware mean devices now use regional sub-folders automatically. For example where you would previously be dropped into a global pool and be flooded on longfast, by default you would now (for us) be in msh/ANZ so even if using the global server you’ll only be with ANZ nodes. For most this solves the primary problem which was longfast flooding, and makes a locally based MQTT server redundant.
For most users and purposes we advise you use the default settings, mqtt.meshtastic.org and folder ANZ, BUT if you haven’t updated your firmware recently, manually change the root folder from msh to msh/ANZ before connecting.
Our future gateways will now be pointed at the global server under msh/ANZ from now on.
Remember if you publish your location in LongFast on the global MQTT it will be available to everyone via the MeshMap in addition to being shared with all meshtastic nodes on the server and locally.
Our local MQTT server has now been shut down due to it barely being used. We advise everyone to use the standard server as described above – IF you want isolation from the globally hosted anz/longfast, you can always create a different subfolder in place of anz and call it whatever you like, e.g. instead of ANZ put ANZ/123 in that box. This will move all your traffic down one level and anyone else with that setting will be able to communicate with you but everyone on the standard settings will not (via MQTT).

Having trouble? If you’re not used to using MQTT with meshtastic, here are the basic steps:
- Go to Radio Configuration > MQTT
- Change the address to ANZ.meshtastic.au
- Leave the username and password as they were (meshdev/large4cats)
- Switch on MQTT Enabled at the top
- Change your Root Topic to msh/ANZ if necessary as detailed above
- If you connect via Bluetooth and want your device to use your phone’s internet connection, switch on Proxy to Client Enabled at the bottom. Leave it off if your device is itself connected to a wifi network.
- Send your settings
