    It’s a proxy server that works kind of like an Advanced version of the Wayback Machine. So old PCs like this, can connect to something like what the internet would’ve been like when they were first made.

    I have the Protoweb browser on my Linux mint machine, running through wine. It’s fun to poke around at, and great for internet archaeology
