Gopher and nginx

Running writefreely on nginx - it’s working well.

I want to activate gopher service with the config file update to port 70.
Now can I use nginx to reverse proxy into gopher?
Or should I just open port 70 on my server?

Everything was working well, I just needed to forward the port from my router to my server. There
was no nginx server to be setup as nginx doesn’t take care of the port 70… so no need reverse proxying.

Now I can see in gopher my write.gef.ink - the formating is pretty bad though… so I’ll have to see if there is something to be done about this…
