Did you see our piece on AppleShare IP 5?. I have no experience with it, but I know that former System 7 Today admin Dan Palka used to host this very page for many years using it.

Ummm.... its seems that last classic Mac OS version for MacHTTP is version 2. And also how about the compatability of classic Mac OS with newer version?

NetPresenz is very good, can do http, ftp, gopher.
Easy to find on the Mac garden.
I recently updated my Raspberry-Pi, and have a basiliskII emulator System 7.5.3 running a small site back online today... :

But I don't keep it online 24h/24h.
Fun stuff. Cool to have a small Gopher server too.

I've had good results with MacHTTP 2.6 - seems stable and co-operative, and was pretty easy to get started. It's also free for non-commercial use.

Yes.
The thing is that System 7 has no command line interface (that is if you exclude the MPW shell commands which are completely different from Linux/Unix/Win commands)
I've had hacking attempt on my NetPresenz server, most typically trying to access a .passwd file in linux likes directories that doesn't exist on the Mac System 7... funny.
So the worst a hacker could do is a kind of Ddos attack on your server, that would bring it down, and that's all me think.
If you don't open ftp to the internet, I don't see how one would get into a System 7 server.
But maybe some old hackers are still alive and knows the magic of doing that :D

MacHTTP can block specific incoming IP addresses by listing them in its slightly cumbersome config text file.
You can password protect specific files too if you want.

I've not found a solution for globally blocking IP addresses yet though. Does not seem a function of my router.
