About

This website is a proxy service that exposes gemini:// servers (and related protocols) over the web so they can be accessed in a normal web browser.

Supported Protocols

• gemini:// — The Gemini protocol (port 1965)
• spartan:// — The Spartan protocol (port 300)
• gopher:// / gophers:// — The Gopher protocol (port 70)
• finger:// — The Finger protocol (port 79)
• nex:// — The Nex protocol (port 1900)
• text:// — The Text protocol (port 1961)
• scroll:// — The Scroll protocol (port 5699)

How It Works

Type a URL into the address bar, or navigate to /<scheme>/<host>/<path>. The portal will connect to the remote server using the appropriate protocol, convert the response to HTML, and serve it over HTTPS.

Query Parameters

• ?raw=1 — View the raw response data stream
• ?crt=1 — View TLS certificate details (gemini/scroll)
• ?raw_crt=1 — Download the raw x509 certificate
• ?reader=1 — Enter reader mode (less visual clutter)
• ?meta=1 — Fetch metadata (scroll://)
• ?lang=xx — Request a specific language (scroll://)
• ?charset=xx — Override character encoding
