I know about web servers for Free DOS. But so far it is only for static
content. If you use it for a static site like Hugo then maybe. It's all
pointless while electricity is more expensive than hosting. That's why you need
to do more complicated things like a Pleroma server, DNS... To make it
profitable, use outdated PCs. ------ Reply to message -------- Date: Sat, 13

this small version, Free DOS is already useful. I am not aware of a VPN for
FreeDOS. But there are DOS web servers:

I am not a programmer but I can help. For example, in advertising. Get deep
