Free Web Proxy List, Custom Proxy Server Guide

A web proxy is becoming more and more important in today’s internet. Schools and companies tend to block sites pretty quickly nowadays.It is especially irritating when the ban is directed towards just a few websites and not every website in that category. A Web Proxy might be able to sneak past this policies and display the site in your browser even though it is banned in the network.

How does a web proxy work ?

A network bans a website either by its IP, its name or part of its name. A web proxy makes only shows its own address to the network and not the actual destination of the user. The admin of the network will think everything is fine and you are free to reach the site that is banned. The only thing that might happen is that the admin is banning the web proxy as well, but this is not a big deal either. Hundreds of web proxies exist, just switch to a new one and you are ready to visit the banned site again.


Setup your own Web Proxy Server:

Let us assume that all proxy websites have been banned in your network, you can“t find a single web proxy that is still working. Your best choice is to create your own web proxy at an address that only you know. All you need is the php web proxy proxy and some webspace with php to upload it to. Search Google for free webspace php and you should find some hosts that allow you to use php and upload your web proxy to them.

You can alternatively use a cgi web proxy which needs a webspace with cgi enabled.
Web Proxy List:

Please not that the list does not display if the webproxy is able to handle scripts, I did not find a reliable way to make a test for all languages out there, therefor this has not been added to the list. I also removed websites that loaded slowly, displayed errors or forced you to click on an ad before you could use the service.

It is most likely that the name “proxy” might have been banned as well, try using web proxies that do not have proxy i their url, this might help.

Free Web Proxy List

If none of the above work in your special case try my last resort, blockstop. It utilities the coral cdn network and uses a different method to access sites.

Sites that update their web proxy lists daily:

http://proxy.org/
http://www.centurian.org/
http://www.azproxies.com/
http://www.publicproxyservers.com/

If you think a proxy server is missing in the list let us know in the comments.

    Thanks for listing all the proxies in a convenient
    place. The filtering companies spider the site for easy addition to their products…

  5. Gabriel says:

    http://blackcode.co.uk still seems to work.

  6. Sinister says:

    you guys could use the site’s ip to bypass ur filters…

    guide:

    open notepad, type in command.com, save as batch.bat. * save this to a fast to find spot *

    open command prompt ( what you just made ) type in : ping thewebsitewhatyouwant.com

    then u get a shit load of stuff but find the ip, now go to inter explorer,opera,mozilla firefox etcetera… and enter http://the ip you got from the site, and if everything worked out, youre on.

  7. Sinister says:

    but i suggest to delete the command prompt when ur done, because decent admins can find u… they really can…

  8. asiandude says:

    I mighht aswell add another proxy to the list.

  9. Heh says:

  19. Auzzie Dude. says:

    http://neddy.gotdns.com/tech%2Dfolder/ has some good tools, There is a proxy that works with sessions & cookies also. use it all the time @ work

  20. Heh, the “recommended proxy” is a default Apache 2 installation. Great recommendation! ;)

  21. Bypass My Game says:

    web proxy’s are good… but they are blocked for most people. for those on school computers, try a different browser (Mozilla, opera… ect) and edit the proxy settings so the browser doesn’t use the government proxy to filter u.
    see… http://www.zensur.freerk.com/#1.1
    for some proxy’s

    also. schools use “net support” to monitor ur use, if this is the case press L ALT + L SHIFT + R SHIFT at the same time and if it has a spot to enter ur name then u are not being monitored if it just shows a comment section dont do anything, they will spot u!!!

    p.s. do this at ur own risk… but for help on not getting caught look up a program called “koperfield” Hope this helps

  22. karen says:

    im getting repeatedly web proxy saying ilegal doings closing down but doesnt cant get rid of it.. always poping up w/ no action taken…

  23. Captiosus][ says:

    Instead of saving the command prompt to your account, save it to some sort of memory device. It will work right off of the device and the place you work or go to school cant do a damn thing because searching your flash drive or portable hard drive is a violation of your rights.

  24. Me says:

    yeh but if u refuse to share the content that is on ur usb when they ask u (provided that their is due cause) they can say that they suspect that their is malicious content on ur portable storage device and refuse to let u use the storage device oj the system, effectively, screwing u up

    http://www.Unblock60.com

    http://www.UnblockAllWeb.com

  26. Unblockya says:

    If you’re being blocked from proxies use unblockya.com

    I have added a feature that lets you put any word as a sub domain:
    if “unblockya.com” is blocked
    do “asdf.unblockya.com”, or “fdas.unblockya.com”
    they can’t possibly block every combination of letters and numbers.

  27. Martin says:

    they simply block the domain name.

  28. Lil-Bitt aka Tynii 4m da Bronx ^ says:
