In case there is an attack on this infrastructure and the attacker manages to

+TLS-support
+-----------
+quark does not natively support TLS. A more suckless approach than to
+implement TLS into it is to use a TLS reverse tunnel (e.g.
[tlstunnel](https://github.com/hannesm/tlstunnel),
+[hitch](https://hitch-tls.org/) or [stunnel](https://www.stunnel.org/)).
+A TLS-tunnel accepts encrypted TLS connections and forwards them as unencrypted
+TLS to a server. In this case, one can run stunnel on an intended IP
+address and forward the requests to a local port or UNIX-domain socket.
