Everything over port 80
13 Nov 2026
Good news for everyone behind a fussy router, a school firewall or a hotel network: Netstalgia Online now signs on, opens the live web and plays the radio over plain old port 80, the same door your web browser uses.
Each of the three has its own netstalgia.online address, and all three come in through port 80. There is nothing to open, forward or set up on your router. It works the same on Windows 98, Me and XP. (FTP, mail and IRC still use their own usual ports, going out from your PC like any other program.)
Dialing in with a Netstalgia box? Once the call connects, the program now gives the box up to a minute to open the line. The Sign On window says Waiting for the Netstalgia box to open the line... while it does: sit back and enjoy the last of the modem song.
Setup comes from the Downloads page. See you online!
