  • browservice

    Browservice: Browse the modern web on historical browsers

    On the server mgetty is configured for normal tty access, but also to support /AutoPPP/, which kicks off a pppd session and allows machines to connect via PPP like any dial-up internet provider. net.ipv4.forward is set to 1, and ipfwadm is set up to forward traffic. The server acts as a router, doing NAT for the dial-up client. Works great, though I do have browservice and retro-proxy servers running on a VM to handle https -> http and/or rendering for websites too modern for older browsers.

  • retro-proxy

    A https to http proxy that allow old browsers to access modern sites, with conversion and compression options.
