  1. Try installing the palefill extension https://github.com/martok/palefill/releases (direct link) OR enable dom.webcomponents.enabled (or dom.webcomponents.customelements.enabled) option in about:config. YouTube may break, however, but you can do it in a separate browser.
  2. I heard information that the latest version of Telegram can be used with the One Core API on XP. But Telegram forbids dll's in its own folder, so they must be in the PATH. But kernel32.dll is always loaded from system32. In general, if you install all One Core API libraries on the system, Telegram will start. However, I don't recommend doing this. These libraries replace the system libraries. The system behavior changes, Windows language becomes partly English. It is necessary to install in a certain order. And some installer hangs on me (I checked it in virtual machine).
  3. There were two Telegram plugins for Pidgin 2.13. An old one and a new one. The old one runs on XP, but no longer connects (it worked before). The new one (based on official library) doesn't run on XP (but maybe with One Core API?) New users have 64 bit IDs, they will not work with old clients. Telegram uses a huge number of libraries, the new Qt5. All this is impossible to compile for XP. The last hope is the One Core API. Same problem on old 32 bit Linux. The only thing left is the web version. There are two types: web.telegram.org/k and web.telegram.org/z Maybe Miranda developers will make a plugin.
  4. You mean: a Linux computer renders sites and you connect to it remotely on XP? Is XP just showing the picture? You know (sorry for the offtops), lately users from Turkmenistan are forced to browse sites this way. But for different reason. Internet censorship in Turkmenistan has reached truly terrifying proportions. Millions of VPN IP addresses are blocked. The IP is blocked by the ISP simply if there is a lot of traffic going to it. Soon there will be no free Internet in Turkmenistan.
  5. This is most likely a VirtualBox problem. Guest Windows Vista+ and especially Linux (and especially non-Debian based) run very slow on processors without hardware virtualization support. Guest Windows 7 and Linux in VMware run much faster. The last VMware to support XP host is 10.0.7 (but you need a 64 bit processor, even on a 32 bit XP host). The last VMware for XP for 32 bit processors (e.g. Pentium 4) is 7.1.6 (I have 7.1.4 installed). This version will allow you to run virtual Windows 7 much faster. And the best part is that (unlike VirtualBox) virtual Linux runs even the latest, 2021. I ran Rosa Fresh 12 LXQt, for example. I won't give you the links, because the application is paid. In general, modern guest systems are slow on VirtualBox, even on my Linux host. In addition, VMware 7 supports multicore even in software virtualization, unlike VirtualBox. The performance will still be bad. I just said that on very old processors VirtualBox is much slower than VMware. And VirtualBox very poorly supports guest systems newer than it. I was amazed that VMware 7 (2011) ran Linux (2021), which is impossible in VirtualBox.
  6. That's not true. I can also say that XP is outdated crap. @D.Draker @msfntor Are you sure you're French? I thought the French were well-mannered people. The cat needs help.
  7. In fact, there are many HTTPS proxy intermediaries (MITM proxies). And they all work on XP (at least the older versions). But the problem is that they use old system TLS libraries and are useless with modern sites on XP. For example Fiddler, HandyCache, Charles. Charles (it's in Java) uses its own TLS libraries, but it won't help old clients (new ones, yes). Basically, these applications are usable for monitoring HTTPS connections. HandyCache (Russian application) can cache and save HTTPS sites. Proxomitron Reborn also has a HTTPS log, but not very practical. They are all MITM proxies. I use Proxomitron Reborn (with Wine) and Charles on Linux. HandyCache is a partially paid application. It can decrypt HTTPS traffic for free for the first 30 minutes after each launch. You can no longer buy it, but the key exists. It is possible to create a chain of these applications. For example, I run Charles after Proxomitron.
  8. Proxomitron Reborn on my link above supports https. It has openssl 1.0.1 libraries built in. More precisely, you need to copy the openssl libraries, generate a certificate (from the Proxomitron interface) and install it on the system and browsers. Someone on the prxbx.com forum modified the program to support https. openssl 1.0.1, so TLS 1.2 max. But there is support for upstream HTTP proxy and connection logs, filtering. @AstroSkipper I appreciate your application and your efforts. Alternatives are always a good thing.
  9. I read the first post of this thread and I don't understand why it's so complicated? Proxomitron Reborn works, decrypts-encrypts-filters HTTPS. Yes, only TLS 1.2, but otherwise no problem.
  10. To transfer files between Android and PC I used Linux and the MTP protocol over a USB cable. However, I created a 7z archive beforehand, because MTP is a very capricious protocol. It doesn't show some files and skips copying them. This is very frustrating when it comes to captured photos and videos. Sometimes I would transfer the archive via Bluetooth to a Nokia pushbutton (110 kbytes/sec speed), and then the Nokia would connect via USB to a PC (where the PC has full access to the FAT32 file system on the phone's memory card). But this is a very inconvenient way. More precisely: PC (USB) > Nokia (Bluetooth) > Android. Vise versa doesn't work. UPD: Once I transferred an archive from a smartphone to a tablet via Bluetooth. And then from the tablet to the Internet cloud (password protected). On PC I downloaded from the cloud.
  11. For older browsers try this user script. Add it (text) to the greasemonkey extension. There are two inconveniences. Sometimes you need to refresh the page. And for all the links to be displayed, go to the release page.
  12. Using a virtual machine in a virtual machine is a bad idea. Use older versions of VirtualBox to run XP.
  13. If you want true anonymity and secrecy, you should probably use: shadowsocks > tor > shadowsocks or i2p outproxy with 2-3 nodes Although shadowsocks is optional, it is necessary so that your ISP doesn't know that you use Tor (you know that the U.S. government keeps records of such users). And you don't get banned from web sites for having a dirty IP. It is recommended to change shadowsocks servers every 30 minutes. You can find them for free in telegram channels even under XP. Paid servers cannot be completely anonymous. You will be denominated by payment and even crypto. There may be a better privacy policy than your ISP. All right, I agree. It's too paranoid. A good paid VPN would be a more acceptable compromise solution. Although, I use free VPNs and they are fast and stable enough. But I have small requirements (ADSL/3G). Such VPNs are quite difficult to find, especially with torrent support. One of them is Cloudflare WARP (Wireguard). Anonymity, yes... Maybe that's the problem there. But no one cares about me.
  14. What's the danger of that? Punishment for using a VPN? There are only in a few countries. For example, in Saudi Arabia. Or do you mean that, for example, the Iranian police will contact VPNBook to find out what news sites the user visited? And VPNBook will answer THEM? They will not contact. They will just block that VPN (if they haven't already).
  15. To access sites blocked by your ISP This is rare for the U.S. and Europe, though. But you can hide torrents.
  16. @AstroSkipper Almost all paid vendors offer ovpn configs. Official applications only clutter up the system and are essentially a wrapper over the same openvpn, wireguard and tun. And tries to install/replace the tun driver. Although, there really is no Wireguard VPN for XP. And many other proxy based technologies, but they are mostly needed in China.
  17. There is also SoftEther VPN Client + VPN Gate Plugin. VPN Gate provides free servers, not very fast, mostly Japanese (but there are all kinds, even exotic ones). You can find other providers. The application adds itself to the autorun in several places, including the service. You can stop the service with this command sc stop SEVPNCLIENT The VPN protocol looks like HTTPS and works even in authoritarian countries.
  18. vpnbook.com with openvpn 2.3.18 client. Copy the config to C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config There are many solutions (some a paid). But you have to use configs and universal client. I would also recommend the free Proton VPN. But it seems you need to edit the config to be compatible with XP. The openvpn credentials in the personal cabinet after registration (they are different from the login and password).
  19. Do you need a VPN or proxy or browser extension? If proxy, you can try Psiphon command line for XP. Although the speed may be limited, it doesn't require installation.
  20. Windows Media Player plugin + ViewTube extension or User JS. There is another way, using Flash. But it is very complicated.
  21. There is for Opera 12 browser (on Windows). Which supports HTML5, but not H.264 and VP9 codecs.
  22. Thanks for your build. It works for me using DirectX 9. Here are the games that are included: Chess Titans (doesn't run) FreeCell Hearts Minesweeper Purble Place Shanghai Solitaire Solitaire Spider Solitaire The installation is silent.
  23. Github is a relatively lightweight site. At least the basic functionality works in older browsers and fast. Gitlab and Discourse engines, that's the real horror.
  24. Shadowsocks is an encrypted proxy designed to visit blocked sites or change IP addresses. It was originally developed for China, but has become popular worldwide. There are implementations in different programming languages. The latest .NET language version that works on XP is 2.5.8 https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-windows/releases/tag/2.5.8 (requires .NET 4.0 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718) (By the way, there are some glitches with installing .NET 4.0 on XP, you have to give the system time to generate the cache at idle, otherwise it will take a long time to boot the system) Unfortunately, shadowsocks 2.5.8 doesn't support the popular and modern chacha20-ietf-poly1305 cipher. It is the most common one. But the older cipher aes-256-cfb is supported. It can sometimes be found on public servers or you can raise your own server. Public free shadowsocks servers are available in Telegram channels like https://t.me/shadowsocksm and https://t.me/OutlineVpnOfficial The addresses there are encoded in the ss:// protocol. You can decode them with Base64 Decoder utility http://4mhz.de/b64dec.html (insert address except ss:// and after @). If you see chacha20-ietf-poly1305, this server will not work on XP. You have to look for another one. Required fields: IP (or domain), port, password, cipher, description. Here is a Korean server, for example: IP: 158.247.213.230 Port: 989 Password: f8f7aCzcPKbsF8p3 Encryption: aes-256-cfb Description: KO In the program, specify Mode-Global (instead of PAC). And check the "System proxy" box. This will write HTTP and HTTPS proxy 127.0.0.1, port 1080 (you can specify any) in the system. Browsers will use it. It would be great if chacha20-ietf-poly1305 worked on XP. Maybe in the python version.
