Re: [gopher] gopher server security. WAS: gopher hosting

Long time lurker here. Though I do appreciate the work you all do to keep gopher going.

I am thinking of running a gopher server on a VPS I have with Linode.

I wanted to gauge all your guy's opinions about how secure it would be to host a gopher server on a VPS that also had web sites. What I am getting at is do you think modern gopher servers are secure enough or should I isolate it to its own VPS? I understand nothings truly secure, I have a firewall set up, I monitor traffic and the like. Just general thoughts you might want to share.

Warmest regards,

J. R. Johnstone

Agreed. I personally use both sdfeu.org and my own gopher server which is running pygopherd on a raspbery pi. Super simple to set up and the pi can handle the load with ease.
