Gopherproxy down due to bot abuse
October 07th, 2025
----------------------------------------
The gopher proxy is down temporarily due to bot abuse, I have worked out
a solution that will prevent 85-80% of the malicious request from being
sent to other gopher servers via the proxy.
Unfortunately I will have to turn off plain HTTP requests to the proxy
forever, HTTPS with TLS 1.3 will remain supported.
Guess this ends my long streak of posting nothing up here. :)

A pity I didn't have the chance to see your proxy working live. I'm
looking forward to seeing it in action -- and including it on my
Awesome Gopher list, alongside Floodgap's and others. -- signed,
