pkg_add vger

cat << EOF > /etc/inetd.conf
127.0.0.1:11965 stream tcp nowait _vger /usr/local/bin/vger vger

cat <<EOF > /etc/relayd.conf
log connection

tcp protocol "gemini" {

}

relay "gemini" {
    listen on 0.0.0.0 port 1965 tls
    protocol "gemini"
    forward to 127.0.0.1 port 11965
}
EOF

rcctl start relayd inetd
