webone VS cryanc

Just set up something like this?

WebOne - proxy you run on another computer

If you have a secondary, more modern computer, you can run webone proxy to make it a bit more usable.

Check out WeBone - https://github.com/atauenis/webone - a proxy to make the modern Web somewhat more digestible to old browsers.

Now this is interesting. If the OP has a more modern computer (or even a Raspberry PI) he can use WebONE HTTP Proxy

Classilla + webone works well.

Some nerdy details:The open source app is written in MacPython 1.5.2. In order to run it there's a bunch of tinkering required. You need to enable Open Transport Networking (Apple Extras - Network Software selector). You will also need Internet Config 1.4. In there you have to play a bit around with the DNS-settings for it to actually find anything. Furthermore you need to host a WebOne HTML proxy on a modern machine to bypass the SSL-requirement of Mastodon. The latter can be assigned globally in the Internet Config too. To sign in into your Mastodon instance you also may need something like iCap which worked for me to complete the sign in process.Expect to do some troubleshooting (since nothing will work haha) or maybe don't do it altogether since OS 7 is everything but a piece of software you want to connect to the internet.

Worth trying to play around with webone: https://github.com/atauenis/webone

According to people at CryptoAncienne (https://github.com/classilla/cryanc), a 25MHz 68030 needs about 22 seconds of maths to handshake a modern TLS server. During that time, most servers close connection.

So on an 1MHz 6502, I think it'd be minutes just for handshaking.

CryAnc - proxy you can run on the same (old) machine. Pairs nicely with Classilla

Take a look at crypto ancienne, a modern TLS library for less modern compilers.

It's the encryption. For Crypto Ancienne, it may take 20 or more seconds for a cacheless 25MHz '030 to do a local TLS 1.2 transaction, and that's with skipping a whole bunch of steps. Pretty much anything under 40MHz will have timeouts because most servers won't wait.
