# :rotating_light::warning: Warning: Deprecated/no longer maintained! :warning::rotating_light:

**As of April 26th, 2020, miniProxy is no longer maintained, and no further changes will be made to it (including security-related changes).**
4+
5+
When miniProxy was first released as [PageForward](http://pageforward.sf.net) in 2005, the Internet was dramatically different than it is as of this writing fifteen years later, in 2020.
6+
7+
Since 2005, web standards and web browsers have improved dramatically, both in terms of available functionality and in terms of security for end users.
8+
9+
Over time, those welcome improvements have made it more difficult (and inherently less secure) to maintain and use a web proxy such as miniProxy. miniProxy provides a flawed and subpar browsing experience with the modern web.
10+
11+
I have also had no personal use for miniProxy in quite some time, which caused the effort I put into maintaining it to be minimal at best.
12+
13+
Given all of the above, I believe miniProxy's useful lifetime has now come to an end, and I have decided to stop maintaining it.
14+
15+
This GitHub repository is now archived, but will remain online for future reference for as long as is feasible.
16+
17+
If you continue to use miniProxy, you do so **entirely at your own risk** (as its [GNU GPL v3 license](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html) has always stated, quoted below) and with the understanding that **no web proxy can perfectly anonymize your web browsing.**
