Gday

Can Duckling Proxy work with OpenNIC
to avoid using mainstream web

Also Does anyone have some good guides
to create a low bloat HTML website
without javascript/python/dotnet/cookies

OpenNic :-
https://www.opennic.org/
https://github.com/kewlfft/opennic-up

I came across OpenNIC over on HackerPublic Radio
- hpr3323 :: The alternate Internet you never knew existed https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=3323
- DDL - http://hackerpublicradio.org/local/hpr3323.ogg
