A little hint for anyone not willing to go this far #1

Sorry for highjacking this repository's issue area.

If this seems too much for you guys just to share your accounts, have a look at socat (not affiliated in any way), especially at the TCP forwarders. Achieves the "same" with basically zero compute cost, storage, caching, or other software setup, including secure nntp.

Ok but that would just bypass the ip limits and still consume all the bandwith from your usenet account?

Yeah, of course the featureset of a TCP proxy is very limited compared to this project. It's perfectly fitting for Flatrates and small setups, though.

Not to take anything away from this project. I love that this is now possible comparatively easily.

Thanks for your feedback. I’m closing this as it’s not an issue.

Sorry for raising this as an issue, maybe it'd have been better as a discussion :)
