# Resources for Retro Systems with Old or Absent SSL/TLS Support

** Updated 2025-01-13 **

This is pretty self-explanatory, I've been looking for old or
no-encryption resources I can comfortably use with my Debian Lenny
desktop, either web or gopher. If you have any to add to this list,
let me know at thinknix@tilde.team!

## Proxy and search

http://frogfind.com/ (https proxy, web search via Duck Duck Go)
http://portal.mozz.us/ (gopher, gemini, finger, spartan, text, nex proxy)
gopher://cosmarmot.space/ (gopher-to-gemini proxy)

## Web Search

http://google.com 
 this surprised me too - if your web client won't support modern TLS,
 google search will stay on http for you

## Gopher Search

gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/7/v2/vs
gopher://forthworks.com/1/contrition
gopher://gopher.icu/7/quarry

## News

Note: The https sites in this list support SSL or TLSv1, tested in
iceweasel/mozilla 3.0.6
