| [ About the Project ] |
|
The Antiga.Net WebProxy (formerly Byte5's Retro WebProxy) is a free service
that lets you browse the early web as it existed in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Configure your vintage — or modern — browser to use our proxy and step back in time.
We have a special dedication to Brazilian web heritage, but our archive spans international
sites too, much like Protoweb. |
| [ Why Brazilian Sites? ] |
|
Brazil had a vibrant, unique internet culture in the late 1990s. ISPs like Mandic
and ZAZ, portals like Cadê? and IG, and thousands of personal
"homepages" on GeoCities, Terravista and Tripod made up a world that is almost
completely lost today. The antiga.net project was born to rescue and preserve that digital memory.
After configuring the proxy, visit www.indice.com.br
— the "Yahoo! of antiga.net" — to browse categories of restored sites! |
| [ How to Configure the Proxy ] |
|
Set up your browser to use our proxy server. The address and port are the same for all browsers:
|
Proxy address: wayback.antiga.net
Port: 7851
|
Internet Explorer 4 / 5 / 6: Tools > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN Settings > check "Use a proxy server" > enter address + port > OK |
Netscape Navigator / Communicator: Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Proxies > Manual proxy configuration > enter address and port |
RetroZilla: Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Connection Settings > Manual proxy configuration > enter address and port |
Firefox (any version): Options > General > Network Settings > Manual proxy configuration > enter address and port |
Google Chrome: Settings > Advanced > System > Open proxy settings > LAN Settings > check "Use a proxy server" > enter address and port |
|
| [ *** Start Browsing — indice.com.br *** ] |
|
»» www.indice.com.br
Once your proxy is configured, the best place to start is www.indice.com.br
— our curated index of all sites already restored in the antiga.net archive. Browse by category,
discover old Brazilian homepages, games, portals and much more!
!!! IMPORTANT: indice.com.br ONLY WORKS THROUGH THE PROXY !!!
Make sure you have set up wayback.antiga.net port 7851 before visiting.

| [ FAQ ] |
|
[?] What happened to Byte5's Retro WebProxy? The project grew! It is now part of the broader antiga.net initiative. The proxy server address and functionality remain the same — only the name and homepage changed. [?] Is this the same as Protoweb? We share the same spirit as Protoweb but are independent. Antiga.Net has a unique focus on Brazilian web history, and our archives include many sites that cannot be found elsewhere. [?] Can I use it with a modern browser? Yes! Configure the proxy settings as shown above. For the full nostalgic experience, try Internet Explorer 4 in a virtual machine. [?] Some pages look broken — why? Archived pages sometimes have missing images or broken scripts due to gaps in the original captures. We are constantly improving coverage. [?] How do I report errors or suggest a site? Join our community at chat.antiga.net or send an e-mail to caiot5@gmail.com. |
