# Supported Network Topologies
🌐 **Unlock Any Network Scenario with BrowserBox** – Whether you're a SD-WAN architect optimizing enterprise connectivity, a NAT traversal expert punching through firewalls, a WiFi specialist ensuring seamless access on the go, or a NOC pro managing mission-critical operations, BrowserBox delivers unmatched flexibility. From massive country-scale deployments to secure homelab setups, our platform adapts to virtually every operating system, client device, and networking topology you'll encounter. Run it headless on servers without a graphical display or GPU for efficient, low-footprint ops—or leverage full GPU acceleration and manual graphical displays when you need visual power. BrowserBox isn't just software; it's an all-in-one toolkit for secure, scalable remote browser access that fits *your* environment, not the other way around. From mesh to edge, from overlay to backbone — BrowserBox works with it all. 🚀
### Comprehensive Topology Compatibility at a Glance
Here's the core of what makes BrowserBox a networking powerhouse—a detailed table of our supported topologies. We've got you covered from simple HTTP setups to advanced overlay networks, with zero-compromise reliability across platforms. (And stay tuned: Native support via the `bbx` CLI is coming soon for NGINX, Cloudflare Tunnels, and ZeroTier on all platforms, plus automated SSH port forwarding with built-in certificate management and orchestration. Get ready for even smoother integrations! 🎉)

**Notes on Flexibility & Power:**
- **Headless or Graphical? Your Call.** BrowserBox thrives on headless machines—no display or GPU needed for core ops—making it perfect for servers or cloud instances. But when you want it, tap into GPU acceleration for heavy rendering or enable manual graphical displays for hands-on control. Scale from a single homelab box to nationwide rollouts without missing a beat. 💪
- **Why BrowserBox Wins Networks:** In a world of rigid tools, BrowserBox stands out by embracing *every* topology. Punch through NAT with ease, integrate with SD-WAN for optimized routing, ensure WiFi stability for mobile pros, and give NOC teams the configurability to monitor and manage at scale. It's not just supported—it's battle-tested for real-world wins. Ready to deploy? Fork, configure, and conquer! 🌍
## Platform Compatibility
BrowserBox runs seamlessly across a wide range of operating systems and containerization technologies:

>[!NOTE]
>Run `bbx` (or `bbx install` on Windows) to ensure you have the latest version (v13+) with all fixes and features.
**Notes**
- \*Tails is not supported because neither Chrome nor Docker can be installed.
- ‡Podman support is currently under consideration.
- †Windows 9x clients are supported by running the **new** `win9x_bbpro` command which will output the login link for legacy Windows clients (such as Internet Explorer (IE 5, IE 6, etc) or Netscape. Supported Windows 9x operating systems for legacy clients include Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT the BrowserBox server must still be run on a modern system, but now you can connect to BrowserBox from legacy Windows 9x machines and browsers. Modern clients can still use the legacy endpoint but the experience is understandably jurassic.
