Alexa 8f7fc09266 docs(faq): explain why no antivirus exceptions are needed
Add an FAQ entry contrasting DorkNet with closed-source private-server
tools that ask users to disable antivirus: DorkNet is fully open source
and nothing is obfuscated, so there's nothing hidden for a scanner to flag
and no reason to weaken protection to run it.

# DorkNet
DorkNet lets you run your own private server for old versions of Rec Room.
It brings back the 2020-era game — logging in, hanging out in your dorm,
matchmaking, chatting with friends, building rooms — all on a server you
host yourself. You supply your own legally-owned copy of Rec Room, and
DorkNet handles the rest: the server, the client patcher, and the setup
tools to get you playing again.

### Do I need to disable my antivirus?
No, and you shouldn't have to. A lot of closed-source private-server tools
ask you to turn your antivirus off or add exclusions before running them.
That's usually because they ship obfuscated or packed binaries — code
that's been deliberately scrambled so you can't see what it does, which
also happens to trip antivirus heuristics. You're being asked to lower
your guard for something you can't inspect.
DorkNet is the opposite. Everything is open source and nothing is
obfuscated — the server, the launcher, and the patcher are all right here
in the repo for anyone to read, and you can build them yourself instead of
trusting our prebuilt releases. There's nothing hidden for a scanner to
choke on, so there's no reason to weaken your protection to run it.
If a release binary ever does get flagged, that's a false positive on an
unsigned indie executable, not malware — and you always have the option to
build from source and verify it yourself.
### Will Rec Room Inc. shut this down?
Possibly. Fan-server projects exist in a grey zone. AGPL doesn't shield
