messages sent via tcp connection are sent as Text not PKI

[dndprude]

I have interface configured as such:
[interface] type = tcp hostname = redacted port = 4403 mac = redacted dummy = True
Inbound messages are reported to upstream mqtt as PKI, however outbound messages from meshing-around are sent in the clear as Text.

It looks like send_message() is determining the key based on the inbound channel? According to the logs, all inbound messages are being seen as "Channel:0":

2025-10-05 00:22:31,901 | INFO | Device:1 Channel: 0 Received DM: Motd From: drp mobile
2025-10-05 00:22:34,103 | INFO | Device:1 Sending DM: MOTD: REDACTED To: drp mobile

UDP systems (and MQTT) do not use ChannelID like RF systems, they use a hashID of the channel name. will look at patches for this possibly.

One way to handle RF vs IP packets is [interface] [interface2] segment the IP to softNodes?
