Kproxy Unblock Website

[Dunstan Jomphe]

Awebsite is blocked on your current network, for instance? Enter its URL in a form on the KProxy site to try accessing it via one of ten public servers. You can't select a location for these, so they won't help you get into geoblocked sites, but they could bypass local network restrictions.

Looking for something more convenient? KProxy has browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, even Android's Kiwi browser, a far better range than many big-name competitors (Hide.me has Chrome and Firefox extensions, HideMyAss!' only covers Chrome.)

KProxy even has a portable KProxy browser for windows. This isn't quite as impressive as it sounds - it's actually just PortableApps' version of Firefox with KProxy pre-installed - but it's an unusual touch, and gives you some interesting new options (more on that, later.)

KProxy can be handy for unblocking websites, but it's not a full VPN. It only works with your browser, it doesn't encrypt your traffic, and it doesn't try to tell you it's a 'zero log' service. In fact, the Privacy Policy lists a huge number of details that are logged every time you use the service.

We're not just talking your IP address, web browser type, version, time zone, connection type and Wi-Fi network name. But the policy also talks about 'usage activity' including 'number of clicks on a page or feature, amount of time spent on a page or feature, identity of third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers and applications being access through the Website.)'

This isn't a great surprise - many proxy services do something similar - but it's worth keeping in mind. KProxy provides a simple way to access websites you might not be able to reach otherwise, but it's not a privacy, security or anonymity tool. If that's a concern, forget proxy services and sign up for a full VPN, instead.

KProxy's free plan limits you to two locations: Canada and France. That's not bad, but some providers give you a little more. HideMyAss! VPN Proxy Unblocker offers France, Germany, Netherlands, UK and USA with even its free version.

It's not clear how restrictive these conditions are. The website doesn't spell them out explicitly ('sessions are limited to 30 minutes, you can reconnect after a 15 minute delay'), saying only that you should upgrade for unlimited access.

In real-world use we found this generated some usability hassles. We regularly returned to our browser, having left it connected to KProxy, and found ourselves unable to access any websites. The solution was easy - just disconnect from KProxy - but it's still an irritation we don't see with similar products.

KProxy's Chrome browser extension is as simple to use as it could possibly be. Tap the KProxy icon, a drop-down window appears with a big On button; tap that, you're connected; when you're finished, tap Stop and your connection is back to normal.

As KProxy's Chrome extension doesn't display a location up-front, it always connected us to Canada first. We could then switch to France with a click, but life would be just a little easier if we could do that in the first place.

KProxy does have one unusual bonus. You can access locations either by clicking the country name, or manually choosing a specific server ('CA public Montreal 07'), perhaps handy if other servers are blocked or overloaded.

The browser isn't KProxy's own project. It's based on the portable edition of Firefox developed for PortableApps, an open-source platform which makes it easy for users to run their favorite apps on other PCs without installing them.

One problem with this scheme is KProxy hasn't touched the browser for a very long time. It unzips Firefox 46.6.0.1 by default, and that was released back in 2016. We don't know precisely how many known security and privacy issues that has, but it's probably correct to describe it as 'a lot', and it's not safe to use the browser in its default state.

You can update it as usual, though, and once we've done that, KProxy Browser worked just as advertised. We were able to launch the browser from a removable storage device, and connect to the free Canadian or French locations, just as we did with the Chrome extension.

To be fair, though, many quality commercial VPNs also fail to unblock Netflix. And KProxy's free service more than made up for its Netflix issues by allowing us to stream Amazon Prime Video via its Canada servers (another task which defeats many VPNs.)

Speeds were reasonable, too, typically ranging from 25-50Mbps during our tests. That's more than enough for browsing and most streaming tasks, and not bad at all for a free service. KProxy claims upgrading gets you access to more high-powered servers for even better performance.

KProxy is a decent free proxy service which had far more unblocking success than we expected, but logging and usability issues make it tricky to recommend, and the paid service is relatively expensive for what you get.

The best way to unblock websites at school is to use a VPN. However, you can also bypass school website blocks without a VPN by using a free web proxy, a URL shortener, or by connecting to a mobile hotspot instead. All of these methods work to bypass website restrictions on school Chromebooks, too.

EXPERT ADVICE: In this guide we explain how to unblock websites that are blocked by your school. To learn how to bypass other blocks, such as geographic restrictions or government censorship, follow our instructions on how to unblock websites from anywhere.

The best way to unblock websites on a school Chromebook is to use a VPN extension for Google Chrome. They let you access virtually any blocked website on Chrome, deliver quick connection speeds, and are incredibly easy to set up and use on a Chromebook.

A VPN Chrome extension works similarly to a full VPN application, except it only works within the browser. That means it encrypts your connection and hides your IP address for your browser traffic only.

Essentially, a VPN works by creating a tunnel for your traffic to travel through. To do this, it encrypts your connection and re-routes it via a remote VPN server, where it leaves the tunnel and travels on to your target website.

EXPERT TIP: VPN websites are sometimes blocked on school WiFi networks. You might therefore need to download and install the VPN application before going to school, using your home WiFi (or public WiFi).

One important thing to note is that web proxies are not encrypted. That makes it easier for the school and its ISP to monitor you, and it means your browsing activity is not protected. You should never enter any personal or sensitive information while using a web proxy.

Like a web proxy, these tools use another computer to access the blocked website on your behalf, bypassing school restrictions in the process. To do this, they typically use an embedded version of the Chromium browser which you can control from within the tool.

URL Unblockers tend to be less private, more insecure, and slower than a web proxy. However, they are less commonly blocked by school administrators and often work with video streaming websites. Examples of URL Unblockers can be found on Replit.

A URL shortener is a free online tool that takes a full URL address and creates a shortened version that is easier to remember and share. When accessed, the shortened URL then redirects users to the original, longer URL.

Sometimes, school administrators will block access to the URL shortener website itself. In this case, you might need to try a few different options before finding one that is unblocked. Popular URL shorteners include TinyURL, Ow.ly and Bitly.

If your school has blocked access to all URL shorteners, then there are three similar alternatives you can try. These methods also involve accessing a website without ever requesting its full blocked URL:

Another technique for unblocking websites at school is to access a copy of the website, rather than trying to visit the blocked site itself. The best way to do this is to use the Wayback Machine.

That said, it does have its limitations. The archived version of the website may not always be the most up to date. Additionally, some websites may not be fully functional or interactive when accessed through the Wayback Machine.

If your school has blocked the Wayback Machine website, there are two similar alternatives you can try. Like the Wayback Machine, each of these methods involve accessing a copy of the website, rather than visiting the website itself:
