- **[Stunnel](https://www.stunnel.org/):** Used for SMTP/POP3/IMAP protocol/TLS translation.
- **[WebOne](https://github.com/atauenis/webone):** Modern-to-legacy HTTP proxy for browsing.
- **[WRP (Web Rendering Proxy)](https://github.com/tenox7/wrp):** Visual-rendering proxy that converts modern web pages into clickable image maps.
- **[VNCFox](https://github.com/tenox7/vncfox):** Runs a modern browser in a VNC session, accessible from vintage hardware.
- **[Browservice](https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice):** A proxy that lets modern browsers run locally but render into old browser windows. *Note: Advanced setup required, usually requires building locally.*
## Features
- **Legacy Mail Proxy:** Uses `Stunnel` to translate non-SSL legacy client connections into secure TLS 1.3 tunnels for modern servers. *Note: Best used with your own private mail server (like Synology MailPlus) that supports standard basic authentication (PLAIN/LOGIN).*
- **WebOne Proxy:** An HTTP proxy that strips modern security requirements and complex scripts, allowing vintage browsers to access the modern web.
- **WRP (Web Rendering Proxy):** A visual proxy that renders modern webpages as clickable image maps for hardware that cannot handle modern web standards.
- **VNCFox:** Provides a remote-controlled modern browser session via VNC, perfect for high-capability legacy OSes (like Windows XP).

3. **Retro Browsing:**
- **For WebOne:** Set your browser's proxy settings to `host-ip:8081`.
- **For WRP:** Navigate to `http://host-ip:8082` in your legacy browser.
- **For VNCFox:** Use any VNC client (e.g., TightVNC) to connect to `host-ip:5900` (Password: `vncfox`).
## Configuration
- All infrastructure and service mappings are defined in `compose.yml`.
