# Macproxy
'''Note:''' As of RaSCSI 21.11.01, easyinstall.sh has an option to install Macproxy for you.
Despite the name, the use of Macproxy is not at all limited to Macs. It is a super light-weight proxy implemented as a Python script running a Flask app, which will translate https requests to http, and strip out the vast majority of linked contents such as style sheets and JavaScript, while suppressing inline scripts as well. It has support for binary file downloading, and will retain embedded images to be decoded by vintage browsers.
Macproxy is an excellent choice for any 68k Mac, or other retro computer of a similar vintage. But don't expect contents that rely on heavy scripting to work well.
