Okay, okay... you guys asked a way too often for this and I want to make your life easier:

BoxyBSD now also offers NAT64 for your , OpenBSD, , etc. VPS boxes! Next to the reverse proxies, you can now simply use the new NAT64 way :)

Attempting to install #NetBSD on this 486.. gonna need some more work before that works I'm afraid.

Kernel messages from NetBSD 10.1 on an AMD 486. Panics due to low memory after showing interesting sound cards detected. No correlation I'm sure - only including to brag.

I don't really want to switch this off, but it's no longer in use and is just sitting taking power. It ran our phone system for many years.

It used a zaptel driver I blindly ported to from which worked first time when plugged into 4x PSTN lines:

Damn I like the whole css-or-bust approach to styling that has. I mean I know many (most?) others do a bit of the same but this is just delightful.

So..TLS aside, what is the most lightweight reverse proxy I can use instead of nginx in front of this thing? You know, in case I would like to move the instance from this beefy PPro to, say, a or a Wii running ? :)
