+3. Start `waybackproxy.py` (Python 3 is required)
|
|
|
+4. Set up your retro browser:
|
|
|
* If your browser supports proxy auto-configuration, set the auto-configuration URL to `http://ip:port/proxy.pac` where `ip` is the IP of the system running WaybackProxy and `port` is the proxy's port (8888 by default).
|
|
|
* If proxy auto-configuration is not supported or fails to work, set the browser to use an HTTP proxy at that IP and port instead.
|
|
|
* Transparent proxying is also supported for advanced users, with no configuration to WaybackProxy itself required.
|
|
|
* The easiest way to set up a transparent WaybackProxy is to run it on port 80 ([this cannot be done on Linux without security implications](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/87348/capabilities-for-a-script-on-linux)\), set up a fake DNS server - such as `dnsmasq -A "/#/ip"` where `ip` is the IP of the system running WaybackProxy - to redirect all requests to the proxy, and point client machines at that DNS server.
