Blocked gateway. Again.

Hi,

I'm operating the ipfs.cyou gateway. Which is not reachable at the moment because some idiot phisher serves their BS on IPFS and used my gateway to do so. Somebody reported that to the .cyou operator, and they put the domain on server hold without even notifying me, let alone giving me a chance to block whatever the phishing asshat pumps into IPFS.

I managed to get it unblocked last week, but that didn't hold up for long. 🤮

This obviously isn't sustainable, thus I need to move my tooling to some other domain whose operator is more reasonable than shortdot. Any recommendations?

Switch gateway to trustless mode.

Client will need to unpack IPFS block itself using javascript which breaks browers expecting unpacked data - so it can't be used for phishing.

{ "Gateway": { "NoDeserialization": true, "DeserializedResponses": false } }

While that looks like a very good idea, I'd still like to switch to a TLD where I might at least have a chance of getting a notification about stuff like that.
