 Please note that this project does not include any kind of rate limiting or other protection. It is therefore heavily advised to only make it publicly reachable if a reverse proxy is in place. A sample config for <a href="caddyserver.com/">Caddy</a> can be found in the `caddy` subfolder. 
 
 # Installation
-The runtime dependencies are currently `iputils`, `traceroute` and `mtr` (sometimes called `mtr-tiny`). `iputils` and `traceroute` can be substituted by `busybox`.
