1. [Download a WRP binary](https://github.com/tenox7/wrp/releases/) and run it on a machine that will become your WRP gateway/server.

2. Point your legacy browser to `http://address:port` of WRP server. Do not set or use it as a "proxy server".
3. Type a search string or a http/https URL and click **Go**.
4. Adjust your screen width/height/scale/#colors to fit in your old browser.
5. Scroll web page by clicking on the in-image scroll bar.
6. Do not use client browser history-back, instead use **Bk** button in the app.

9. Prefer PNG over GIF if your browser supports it. PNG is much faster, whereas GIF requires a lot of additional processing on both client and server.
