Re: "privacy for hosting gemini site?"

It depends on how you define privacy. If you are running a server of any kind on the internet you have exposures of all sorts. There is nothing particularly private about Gemini, except that no one gives a flying hoot about it.

I didn’t want to expose my home IP so I bought a cheap starter level $1 VPS, that runs an nginx reverse proxy. The VPS connects to my home server via TailScale (which is basically Wireguard VPN with extra benefits). The local server listens on the machine’s Tailscale IP; nginx forwards traffic on port 1965 to that tailscale IP. To me this is good enough.

privacy for hosting gemini site? β€” Hello friend I know gemini use the limited protocol itself to protect the privacy of the client, but what about the host? How do you protect your own privacy when you hosting a site? or do you not worry about exposing your information (like your IP or your email or anything people can get from your domain name) on the net? If you think it is not a concern, I would love to hear your reasoning. Maybe I am just overthinking? And if it does bother you, please...
