Modes of operation Access Types - Browser-in-browser, navigate to the address of WRP and use the built-in web form to browse web. - HTTP proxy mode which offers more seamless, but also limited use. Semi compatible with https://. Rende modes - ISMAP \"graphical\" mode, renders web page in to a GIF/PNG/JPG image with clickable imagemap. - Simple HTML mode converts pages into simplified HTML for old browsers. Different modes have different uses. ISMAP mode will be better for flashy modern web. Simple HTML mode will be better for reading articles or documentation.

Google Chrome / Chromium / Brave Browser is required to be preinstalled. Do not run WRP on an old machine like Windows XP or 98.

Type a search string or a full http/https URL and click Go . Select whether you want to use graphical (ISMAP) or simple HTML mode. Proxy mode - You can use /proxy.pac automatic configuration mode. - Stick to http:// addresses only, the proxy will automatically rewrite them to https:// as needed. - https:// addresses are limited in functional","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/tenox7","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/tenox7/wrp/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
