       gopherproxy.sh back up; new mitigations
       February 23rd, 2026
       ----------------------------------------
       
       I have successfully deplyed Anubis on this server to protect the HTTPS
       side of things and WOW is it effective against the particular bots that
       have been plaguing the site!! HTTPS traffic has dropped by around 99.8%!
       
       The downside to this is that the site now requires javascript and
       cookies, but the plus side is that I will actually be able to afford to
       continue running the site and will be able to keep the gopherproxy.sh up
       and running.
       
       For folks that feel like poking around at anything /other/ than the
       proxy, the old school http:// side of things should be the same as it
       was before, no Anubis challenge there.
       
       
       Let me know if any problems pop up... Either anubis not letting y'all in
       or bots making their way through and using the proxy to scrape gopher.
       Those damn things REALLY love bitreich and floodgap lately!
