AFrenchCroissant commented 2 years ago

hello, i would like to know how do you install this proxy on a raspberry pi 4 Thanks !

carlni2008 commented 2 years ago

Hi i am just curious, are you trying to make this project? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OB1g8CUdbA

AFrenchCroissant commented 2 years ago

Yes, but a simpler version, without the lcd or the knob and change the date by the configuration page

LuukLG commented 2 years ago

I just went with ssh into my pi or with terminal, make sure your pi can connect to the internet.

I'm actually trying to make one with the dial and LCD.

  • I just installed python3 with sudo apt install python3

  • after that, I went into my home directory and typed: wget https://github.com/richardg867/WaybackProxy/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

  • then I typed unzip master.zip

  • then cd WaybackProxyt-master to get in to the newly created directory.

  • type python3 waybackproxy.py

  • proxy is now active on the pi on default port 8888

  • Go to the proxy settings on the pc you want to use for browsing the old web and config the pi's ip address combined with port 8888.

  • test with a site like microsoft.com to see if it works as this website has an archived paged around the default DATE. this parameter can be found (and edited) in the config.py file

Tysm but is there a way to start the python program on startup ? Thanks again !

LuukLG commented 2 years ago

There are multiple ways. I did it with a systemd unit file. Follow Method 4: https://www.dexterindustries.com/howto/run-a-program-on-your-raspberry-pi-at-startup/

sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/waybackproxy.service

add this text:

[Unit] Description=waybackproxy After=multi-user.target

[Service] Type=idle ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi//waybackproxy.py

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

close the editor with CTRL + X and press y to save

then edit permissions to 644 :

sudo chmod 644 /lib/systemd/system/waybackproxy.service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable waybackproxy.service

sudo systemctl start waybackproxy

sudo netstat -at check if there is an entry with Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8888 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

then reboot your pi and check if it starts on boot.

If you manage it, I'll happily buy the project files from you. Been trying to work this out for a good day now.

carlni2008 commented 2 years ago

Hi thanks for replying, I am also trying to make this, and thanks for the guide. Since i have the supplies, I am going to make one with a lcs screen and a knob . I'll tell you if I suceed making this.

Also, how do I connect to the proxy on windows 11 to test it? Right now it doesn't work. I have the program running on my raspberry pi without changing the config.

I figured configing the proxy on windows only works for micosoft edge.

I have a similar problem to you and don't know how to fix it. I have followed all the steps listed above and set up the proxy settings. Whenever I search something in the search bar on google chrome it says 'ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED', but if I type in a link to the website, e.g apple.com it works. In addition, whenever I successfully enter a website, I dont have a secure connection. I dont really mind if its there because I am pretty sure it is from having the proxy server.

I have tried testing somethings out in an attempt to find out whats happening. I found that if the website has 'https://www.apple.com' Infront it does not work, but if you change that to 'http://apple.com' it works.

It would be a pleasure if someone where to comment here and explain the issue and mainly how to fix it.

LuukLG commented 2 years ago

Just a gamble: Maybe this has something to do with modern browsers trying to use https by default when you enter an url without https or https, while sites back then mostly had http for their HomePages? curious if this problem also exist for old browsers on old computers.

carlni2008 commented 2 years ago

For me, I just setted up the proxy in the settings, and it works on microsoft edge not chrome for me.

carlni2008 commented 2 years ago

My progress so far: I suceffully connected the lcd screen LCD1602 and a Rotary Potentiometer. The Rotary Potentiometer is powered by ADC Module PCF8591. The lcd screen display the current time, and I didn't finish programming the Rotary Potentiometer yet.

ColdSalt09 commented 2 years ago

Hey guys I have some questions How I can change the date of the sites (I don't have a rotary thing) Also I connect it to my PC from my raspberry pi using a lan cable?

carlni2008 commented 2 years ago

Hi sorry I completely forgot this project. To change the dates of the sites, I think you'll have to make a program that changes the config date, like a UI of some sort of you have a display for your RPI. I just bought a cheap dial for that function.

vanhoteen commented 2 years ago

hello I have been investigating but I don't know how to program in pyhton, if you can please, I found a lot of encoder documentation that shows options on screens but not that they modify the config.py

example
