## 💡 FAQ
**Q: Is my note private?**
A: If you select "Unlisted", only those with the link can view it. "Public" pastes are visible on Pastebin's public archive.
**Q: Can I use this for sensitive data?**
A: This is for temporary, non-sensitive code snippets. Do not use for passwords or confidential information.
**Q: Can I run this on a server?**
A: Yes! You can deploy the proxy server to any Node.js-compatible host. Just keep your `.env` file secure.
