WaybackProxy does not work (at all)

[Degamisu]

It was working yesterday, but now it wont do anything with a proxy. I have everything set up right, but the websites are the same. Hard to explain, but it just broke. nothing output in logs except for:

[-] Now listening on port 8888
[-] Date set to 19981025

same issue here

This is a puzzling issue I have failed to reproduce myself. Try browsing to the WaybackProxy's http://ip:port on a modern machine, it should return a 404 error, and that will validate that the proxy is at least listening.

yes. it does work like that. I have tried all the solutions, even trying to force read it. I'm on windows 11 + windows 95

Hi, have found the same thing in Windows. For me if you wait about 10 mins or so the console will eventually output the error "SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED"

After a couple hours of trying to update python's certs with no success, I tried on linuxmint 21.2 mate with the version of python it comes with (3.10.12) and it works absolutely fine with 0 configuration needed.

Very puzzling why I can't get it to work on Windows, the certificate file in python is up to date and all so doesn't really make sense?

I suppose in linux python will use a global certificate store and that has what is needed to talk to the wayback machine
?
