Free web proxy: open any site anonymously

Paste a web address and open it through one of our servers. The site sees our server's IP address instead of yours. No account, no install.

This tool is for reading public pages. It strips scripts and does not log in to sites for you. For full protection across every app, use the vpn.now free plan.

What the web proxy does

A quick way to view a page without revealing your own address. Here is exactly what happens and where the limits are.

Diagram: your laptop asks a vpn.now server for a page; the server fetches the page and passes it back to you, while the direct line from you to the site is crossed out.
Your browser asks our server, the server fetches the page, and the site only ever sees us.

We fetch, not you

Your browser asks our server for the page. Our server fetches it and sends it back. The target site sees our address, not yours.

Scripts removed

We strip JavaScript and inline event handlers from proxied pages. That blocks many trackers, but it also means script-heavy sites may not work fully.

Nothing stored

We do not keep the addresses you view here. Like the rest of vpn.now, this tool keeps no browsing records. See our transparency page.

When to use the proxy, and when to use the VPN

The web proxy is handy for a quick, anonymous look at a single public page. It is read-only, it removes scripts, and it only covers the page you open here, in this tab.

For real day-to-day protection, the free VPN is the better tool. A VPN encrypts traffic from every app on your device, works with sites that need logins and scripts, and keeps protecting you as you move between pages. The proxy is a convenience; the VPN is the protection.

Honest limits

  • It views public pages only. It cannot reach private or local addresses, and it does not log in to sites for you.
  • Because scripts are removed, sites that depend on JavaScript may look broken or incomplete.
  • It protects only the page you open here. Your other tabs and apps use your normal connection.
  • It is not anonymity. The site cannot see your IP address, but logging into an account still identifies you.
