Q: How can I start using the service?
A: You can use a modern or old computer and any web browser that supports standard proxy servers. For more information, check out our Getting Started Guide.

Q: What do I need to use the service?
A: The service can be used with any computer with access to the Internet. Technically speaking, you only need an operating system with TCP/IP networking, and a web browser with HTTP support. The service can be used with a wide variety of computers starting with computers made in the late 80's, to modern day, from DOS to Windows 10. One goal of ProtoWeb has always been to reopen the Internet to classic computing hobbyists, but our focus has been to keep ProtoWeb highly accessible - this means users with modern computers are fully supported. To see which web browsers can be used with our service, see our comprehensive browser compatibility list. For more information on how to make old web browsers work on modern computers, please read the document Running Classic Web Browsers on Modern Hardware for instructions how to accomplish this.

Q: I want to use a classic web browser on a modern computer. Is that possible?
A: You can run several classic web browsers on recent hardware. Please see Running classic web browsers documentation for more information on how to do this. The page also includes downloads to get you started.

Q: Where can I find downloads to old web browsers?
A: Check out http://home.mcom.com/archives/ for a full archive of Netscape web browsers. If you are connected to ProtoWeb, you can also navigate to www.inode.com. At the bottom you will find download links to popular web browsers!
