Merry Christmas and happy new year!
laitos is your personal web infrastructure server - host a home page, receive Emails, and block ads/malicious sites via its DNS server.
And to satisfy the geekiest nature inside of you, the program grants access to the Internet (news, mail boxes, Twitter, etc) via telephone, chat bots, and even satellite terminals!
The latest release (3.1, https://github.com/HouzuoGuo/laitos/releases) further enhances overall system security with automated Windows/Linux server maintenance, along with an SNMP server for the nostalgic computing experience.
