AV-98 gopher proxy on gopher.black | |

Solderpunk had a great response to my VF-1 & AV-98 musings that | |
you can read here [0]. | |
[0] solderpunk - vf1 av98 and agena | |
In it he shares the secret of an awesome little project, agena, | |
that is a gopher to gemini proxy. AV-98 is already capable of | |
using it out of the box, you just need a proxy to point to. | |
Well, gopher.black is happy to be your Huckleberry. If you use | |
AV-98 you can try it out now. | |
AV-98> set gopher_proxy gopher.black:1965 | |
That's it. I think you can set that in a config file too, if I'm | |
not mistaken. Then, if you browse past the limits of gemspace and | |
hit gopher your adventures will just keep going. | |
I may add this to tilde.black on a different port (since 1965 is | |
already in use for that server's gemini pages). If you are extra, | |
ridiculously paranoid you could then torify your AV-98 session and | |
hit the tilde.black proxy over tor. You're welcome, Mr. Snowden. | |
Solderpunk has lots of improvements planned for it, so I expect | |
agena to grow up real fast. | |
EDIT: | |
I'm now running agena on tilde.black on port 1966 as well. |
