       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,
