PS3 Internet Browser problems

imho, this issue should be pointing to Sony PS3 dev not to bgtoolset creator, they need to release new firmware to catch up with the ssl certificate.

but for now, you need to set up your own proxy server. I just installed cfw on my ofw 4.91 ps3 using pc as a proxy server and it works.

good luck :tears of joy:

Can you point me towards the resources you used to setup a local proxy server? I would love to have this as a option

I found a project on github (https://github.com/yeokm1/http-to-https-proxy) where it updates http requests to https. would it work?

I tried and couldn't figure it out for the life of me.

curl says `curl: (56) CONNECT tunnel failed, response 404`, wget says `Proxy tunneling failed: Not FoundUnable to establish SSL connection.`, and the PS3 cannot connect.

setup your own proxy server:
first, download free opensource https proxy from mitmproxy.org
second, install but uncheck "launch .. now" just click finish.
open installation folder, default is "C:\Program Files\mitmproxy", double klik mitmweb.exe inside bin folder.
it will open new window with this message "HTTP(S) proxy listening at *:8080." (it need windows permission to All
now your proxy server is ready to use.
proxy address : is your pc ip address, If you dont know what is your pc ip address, open cmd then type ipconfig
port : 8080

set ps3 proxy address:
next, setup ps3 internet connection, go to network setting choose "Custom" not easy, because you need to set proxy address and port manually. Follow network setup until it finished.
If your network test result is Success, your ps3 internet browser should be able to open bgtoolset website without problem.

Sorry, I'm out without a PC. Have you tried the -i argument?

Arguments:
-h --help Print help information
-l --listen HTTP port to listen on. Default: 80
-c --connect HTTPS port to connect to. Default: 443
-b --buffer Buffer size. Default: 4096
-i --insecure Allow insecure TLS certificates. Default: false
-q --query Handle requests from query string "q". Default: false
-d --debug Enable debug console logging. Default: false


@cikocet can you give us a clue , please?

I was able to get it self hosted but it looks like it is the version of bgtoolset supporting upto 4.89. Did you find the latest version of bgtoolset?

For anyone else looking into this a combination of a youtube video named: "PS3Xploit Alternative: Self-hosting BG Toolset at home to install CFW" helped me immensely, the guide on here named: "How to install Custom firmware on your PS3 in 2023" helped a bit as well. I am now able to access bgtoolset locally but it is a version supporting up to 4.89

did it actually work for you? If you open the site proxysite (dot) com on the ps3 browser and then load the ps3 toolset through there, it'll load the site just fine but it doesn't initialize the actual CFW process. That's what got me the idea of the proxy server - so if anyone has luck finding something please do share! I've tried a couple things myself with no luck. Having similiar issue as @lightwo where my ps3 won't connect to it

You need to understand Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) technique, thats the clue.
Thats why i use mitmproxy not just an ordinary proxy.
 
I'm sorry I'm new to this, could you please walk me through the process of setting it up on the ps3? After I manually enter the ip address it wont let me continue?

Thanks! If this method keeps working it could give time to solve once and for all the certificate problem on the browser.

Can confirm this 100% works! doing it as we speak! This is a very simple and easy solution until the developer figures out a more proper solution on the backend.

follow his instructions closely and make sure you're inputting your IP only in the proxy server settings. You can find your iPV4 on command prompt by typing ipconfig . Once you put IP in leave port as is and proceed to next step which is doing the internet test.

I tried to run it but the window opens and closes automatically for no reason
 
Does setting up a proxy mess with your router or Internet? Is it easy to delete and not mess up the Internet when done?
