AnyProxy needs no app or extension, so it opens in Chrome on a managed Chromebook unless the administrator has blocked anyproxy.site. Whether you are allowed to use it is set by your school's or employer's rules.
Full answer
A managed Chromebook is enrolled in a school's or company's Google Admin console. Google's own documentation says admins can block and allow URLs so that users can only visit certain websites, and can limit apps and extensions to an approved list. That gives three practical cases. If installs are locked but browsing is open, AnyProxy works, because it is a website and installs nothing. If the admin uses an allowlist, or adds anyproxy.site or proxy sites as a category to the blocklist, the page will not open and there is nothing on the device you can change. And if traffic goes through a school filter or TLS inspection, the organisation can see that you visited anyproxy.site, and with inspection possibly more. We have not tested on an enrolled Chromebook, since we do not have a managed one to test fairly; the phone and desktop tests on our other FAQ pages show how the proxied pages themselves behave. The rules matter more than the technology here: many school and workplace acceptable-use policies prohibit proxies by name, and breaking them can have consequences even when the page loads.
In practice
Google documents that admins can block and allow URLs for managed Chrome browsers and ChromeOS devices, and restrict apps and extensions. A website-based proxy sidesteps the install restrictions but not the URL rules: if anyproxy.site is on the blocklist, or only allowlisted sites are permitted, it will not load. Check your acceptable-use policy before trying.
