Open a website through our proxy
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.
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 opening a single public page without showing that page your usual IP address. 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.
What changes when you use the proxy
The destination receives its request from the vpn.now server, so its access log contains the proxy address instead of the address assigned by your internet provider. Your connection to vpn.now uses HTTPS, but this is not a device-wide VPN tunnel.
Only the address entered in the form goes through the proxy. Images or styles needed to display the returned page are rewritten or removed where possible, and active scripts are stripped. A separate browser tab, an email app, or any other program continues to use your normal connection.
Changing the visible IP does not erase information you choose to reveal. An account login, a form submission, or a recognizable browser can still identify you. Use the tool to read public material, not as a promise of anonymity.
Check what your connection reveals
The proxy changes the IP seen by one page. Use these tools to inspect your normal connection or test a full VPN tunnel.

Free web proxy questions
Does the web proxy hide my IP address?
It hides your address from the one public page you open through this tool. That page sees the vpn.now proxy server's address. Your other tabs and apps still use their normal connection.
Is a web proxy the same as a VPN?
No. This proxy fetches one page and removes scripts. A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel for traffic from every app on your device.
Can I sign in to websites through the proxy?
No. The proxy is designed for reading public pages. It removes scripts and does not preserve a normal signed-in browsing session.
Does the proxy make me anonymous?
No. It changes the IP address seen by the page, but the page may still recognize information you provide or other browser signals. Do not treat it as an anonymity tool.
