| Gopherproxy down due to bot abuse | |

| 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, | |
