I wouldn't be too worried about it honestly, I doubt anyone is scanning the internet to mess with public 9 machines. If you're worried, just shove them on their own VLAN to keep them separate from the rest of your network.
Yeahh that's true there's definitely no one running exploit campaigns on Plan 9 systems lol
Although some of the code is really crusty, I feel like someone could spend a day or two just looking around and find some really nasty remote holes (that would be really easy to exploit cuz no ASLR or stack canaries or anything as far as I know)
I would use werc or something on a Plan 9 system to run my personal website I'm just worried about the above happening and using it to dox me or whatever (separate network good idea though) :(
Need to try to get werc working on OpenBSD again, it's possible
Or I add PIE-making capability to the compilers lol (probably never gonna happen)
