Tired of "Access Denied"? Bypass network restrictions and browse the web freely, securely, and anonymously — without installing anything.
No account required · Works at school & work · Zero logs
No configuration. No downloads. Just paste the URL and go.
Enter the address of any site that is blocked on your network.
Your request travels through our encrypted global servers — hidden from your ISP and network admin.
The full, unfiltered page loads in your browser. Your real IP stays completely private.
At some point everyone hits a wall online. A news article that loads fine at home refuses to open on the office Wi-Fi. A video your classmates can watch plays just fine on their phones but returns a blank screen on the school network. The page itself isn’t gone — your network is just blocking the path to it.
Network filters are more widespread than most people realise. Schools, workplaces, ISPs, and governments all use them, often for reasons that make sense on paper — but the result for the person on the other end is the same: content you have every right to see becomes unreachable.
A web proxy routes your request through a different server before it reaches the destination, sidestepping the filter without touching your device’s settings. No app to install. No account to create.
We ran more than 20 proxy services through the same test battery to find out which ones hold up in real daily use — for streaming, research, social media, and general browsing — then ranked them without pulling punches.
When you enter a URL directly, your browser connects straight to that server — and any filter on your network can see exactly where you’re going. A web proxy breaks that direct line. Your browser connects to our server instead; our server fetches the page and hands it back to you. The filter only ever sees a connection to Proxy24, never the destination.
The round-trip happens over an encrypted HTTPS channel, so even a network administrator watching the traffic would see nothing useful — just encrypted data moving between your device and our gateway.
Your network admin sees: An HTTPS connection to proxy24.net — unremarkable.
The destination site sees: A request from our server IP — your identity stays out of it.
You get: The full, unfiltered page as if the block never existed.
Most free proxies work for simple cases. The gap shows up on modern sites, HD video, and anything that relies on JavaScript. Here's what separates a solid tool from one that breaks half the pages you load:
We ran each service on a residential connection from three different locations and scored them across five dimensions. A service had to pass all five to make the list — a perfect score on one category couldn't compensate for a failure on another:
Proxy24 was the only service in our test group that passed every JS-framework check without a single layout failure. Twitter, Discord, and a production Next.js app all loaded cleanly — something several longer-established proxies could not manage. Load times were consistently under 2 seconds across all three test locations.
Verdict: The right pick if you need something that reliably handles whatever page you throw at it, not just plain-HTML news sites.
CroxyProxy has clearly invested in its video pipeline — it was the only service to score a perfect 10 on our YouTube test, sustaining 1080p through a 15-minute clip with zero pauses. General browsing speed is good, though the ad-supported interface adds visual noise the other tools avoid.
Verdict: Worth bookmarking specifically for video. For general browsing, the ads make it a step below Proxy24.
Hide.me runs its proxy on the same infrastructure as its paid VPN product, so the privacy credentials are genuinely strong. The trade-off is throughput — during our evening test sessions, load times climbed noticeably and video above 720p started buffering. Fine for reading; not great for streaming.
Verdict: A trustworthy option when the content you need is text-heavy and privacy matters more than speed.
ProxySite lets you manually select between US and EU exit nodes, which occasionally made the difference when a target site rate-limited one region. Scores were middling across the board — nothing failed outright, but nothing stood out either. The UI looks like it hasn't changed since 2018.
Verdict: Useful as a backup when your primary proxy is having issues with a specific region.
KProxy is the only tool here that also ships as a browser extension, which matters in locked-down environments where you can install extensions but not standalone apps. The free tier introduces artificial wait times between requests, which is irritating for anything beyond occasional use.
Verdict: Only worth considering if an extension is specifically what you need. For everything else, the queue delays make it impractical.
People often ask whether they should use a proxy or a VPN. The answer depends on what problem you're actually solving. They overlap in purpose but differ significantly in scope, cost, and setup time:
| Feature | Website Unblocker (Proxy) | VPN |
|---|---|---|
| Setup time | Instant — zero seconds | 5–10 min (app install) |
| Cost | Free | $5–$15 / month |
| Encryption scope | Browser tab only | Entire device |
| Best for | Quickly opening a specific blocked URL | Protecting banking / passwords on public Wi-Fi |
For a quick task — opening a blocked article, watching a geo-restricted video, checking a social platform on a restricted network — a proxy gets the job done in seconds and costs nothing. For scenarios involving sensitive credentials or sustained privacy over an entire session, a paid VPN is the more thorough solution.
