Byte5's Retro WebProxy

About the Project

Byte5's Retro WebProxy is a tool that allows you to explore archived web pages from the early days of the internet. It acts as a gateway to the past, letting you experience the web as it was in the 1990s and early 2000s. While we have a special focus on preserving Brazilian web history, our collection also includes a wide range of international sites, similar to other retro proxies. Our proxy is designed to be compatible with old browsers, so you can use it with your favorite vintage software.

Why Brazilian Sites?

In addition to providing access to international archived sites, Byte5's Retro WebProxy places a special emphasis on Brazilian websites and home pages. We believe that preserving Brazil's digital heritage is crucial for understanding the country's cultural and technological evolution.
