-====== Getting Started with PROTONET ====== +
- +
-To start using PROTONET, all you need is a computer with an Internet connection and a web browser that supports HTTP and FTP proxies. You can use a direct LAN connection, or if you'd prefer a emulate a full dial-up modem experience, you can use the [[Guides:​Virtual Modem|Raspberry Pi -based Virtual Modem]]. Using Virtual Modem is optional.  +

-  * [[:​protonet:​servers|Proxy Server List]]  +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Quick Start ===== +
-{{ :​protonet:​scn-ns45-netcenter.png?​350|}} +
- +
-  * Install a web browser if you haven'​t done so already and make sure the computer is online. You can use any web browser that supports HTTP and FTP proxies. To see a list of tested browsers, check out our comprehensive list [[Features|here]]. +
-  * Run the web browser and open up the Network Settings. Set Protonet as your default proxy server in the web browser settings.  +
-    * We maintain a list of current proxy servers in our [[servers|proxy list]].  +
-    * For best experience, we recommend using Internet Explorer 3.0 or Netscape Navigator 3.0 or Netscape Communicator 4.5. If you are interested in running Netscape Navigator in Windows 10, [[protonet:​running_classic_web_browsers_on_new_hardware|please read this note]] on how to accomplish this. +
-  * Now you can start using the service. Navigate to **%%http://​welcome.inode.com/​%%** to begin. +
- +
-Once you have added the proxy settings, you can start browsing PROTONET! The proxy serves pages from an archive of classic web sites, and the user experience should be close to the real thing. To visit a web site, you can type in an archived web address as it existed in the past. +
- +
-  * If you're a first time user, or don't know where to start, we recommend going to the welcome page at: **%%http://​welcome.inode.com%%**. +
-  * For an index of classic domains, go to **%%http://​www.inode.com%%** +
-  * Please note, while using Protonet, you will not have access to other Internet websites as long as Protonet is configured as your primary Proxy server. You can restore Internet access by turning off access through a Proxy server. +
