The Un-Official Proxomitron Forum

Hello. I want to access a domain that has expired but the website still exists on the server. I have the server ip but since it uses virtual hosting, I need to change the host header of to the domain to trick the server into giving me the website.

So far I have in the filter editor:

HTTP header - Host:

URL match - 64.92.169.58

Header value match - 64.92.169.58

Replacement text - timesplitters4.net


I have firefox to use localhost, port 8080 as a proxy. It seems to work but under the log the host header is still being sent as 64.92.169.58 and the website doesn't show.

How can I fix this? What am I/could I be doing wrong?

Also I registered but the email never came through.

In deed, you don't need Proxomitron to do this, just add below line in your hosts file should do the job:

Thanks. it didn't work but that doesn't matter as I got the filter to work.

I've also done a HTML replacement so the links go to the ip address. However now I need to send the timesplitters4.net cookies to the new ip address. How do I do this?

Thanks again.

The hosts file way worked for me. I think you need to flush the dns cache after adding the entry. Make sure you get 64.92.169.58 when pinging timesplitters4.net.

With hosts file way, you don't need to bother with the cookies thing.

Thanks, it works now.

lol. I wasted my time, big time. I didn't think a hosts file did that. Now I know!
