Did anybody had this Xbox 360 model? I did though, but sadly, it red-ringed on me, I even had the black version known as the “Xbox 360 Elite”

Right now with theoldnet.com you can go to any archved web pages, but what you cant do is type say nintendo.com into the address bar and have it retrieve nintedo.com from 1996. Of course it wouldn’t, it will return nintendo.com from current day. By using a browser proxy, you can accomplish this. Any address you type into the address bar will return a website form the archive instead of a live, present day website.

Browser proxies were used back in the day in schools and institutions so that people accessing the internet would get a local, cached copy instead of retrieving the site from the internet directly. Theoldnet’s implimentation of a browser proxy makes use of this feature.

To begin

Grab your browser of choice, if you do not have one a great option is RetroZilla which you can get here

These steps are pretty universal for all Mozilla / Netscape browsers

Step 1 In Proxy Settings add the host of theoldnet.com and the port of 1996

Step 2 Add web.archive.org to the No Proxy for list.

Adding web.archive.org is required so that binary file downloads will work. Things like images and zip files.

For Internet Explorer follow these steps:

To access The Old Net Search Engine through the proxy simply visit theoldnet.com!

Advanced Settings

The proxy has a default starting year of 1996 and a default starting month of the current month. This means all search results will be the closest match to the current month, in 1996. This may end up being a site from 1998, or 2001, it all depends on what data is available.

If you wish you can choose a different default starting year by changing which port you connect to.

The valid ports/years are: 1996 - 2012

So this confirms that the early 2010s are old internet?

yes?

kali.net (Modern site, old service.)
Kali, some old gaming service, last client version was from 20 years ago but it still has a active website, it looks fairly similar to Gamespy

Protoweb.org Is using proxy for sites. But Protoweb hosts copy of site on own servers.
Like proxy just sending you on Microsoft.com protoweb ver.
