Managed Wi-Fi filters block YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Discord. 5 free web proxies tested against enterprise, hospitality, and campus firewalls, ranked by session cleanliness and Chromebook support.
Every proxy here runs in an ordinary browser tab, so none needs install rights. What separates them is what they open. In our 15 October 2026 test of four common sites, AnyProxy got 3, Proxyium 2, CroxyProxy 1 and 4everProxy 0, and on 12 October only AnyProxy opened Cloudflare-protected sites. Whether your network blocks the proxy itself is something only your network can tell you.
Context
How we ranked: we cannot test from inside your school, office or hotel network, so we ranked on what we can measure the same way for everyone. Same-day matrix, 15 Oct 2026, four logged-out tasks (YouTube video plays, public Instagram profile opens, TikTok Explore opens, ChatGPT page loads): AnyProxy 3 of 4, Proxyium 2 (plus 1 partial), CroxyProxy 1 (plus 1 partial), 4everProxy 0 (plus 1 profile out of 2 on Instagram). Cloudflare grid, 12 Oct 2026: AnyProxy 6 of 6 sites, CroxyProxy, Proxyium and 4everProxy 0 of 6. AnyProxy publishes this list and ranks itself in it, so treat our placement with suspicion. That is why every ranking below points to a dated test or measurement, including the tests AnyProxy lost. A managed network can see that you connected to a proxy domain even though it cannot read the pages inside, and its acceptable-use policy still applies to you.
Quick picks
Full breakdown
Best result in our 15 Oct four-task test (YouTube played, TikTok loaded, ChatGPT loaded through Virginia; Instagram profiles hit a login wall) and the only one of six proxies that opened all six Cloudflare-protected sites on 12 Oct. Nothing to install. Free tier shows ads; Pro removes them.
Loaded TikTok and ChatGPT; YouTube loaded but did not play; Instagram returned "Request failed". 0 of 6 Cloudflare sites. Sets no cookies on its homepage and sends HSTS (measured 5 Oct 2026). Three servers, two labelled "Slow" by the site.
Loaded ChatGPT; YouTube loaded but did not play; TikTok gave a CAPTCHA; Instagram "Request failed". 0 of 6 Cloudflare sites. Its homepage's first HSTS header is max-age=0, which switches off HTTPS enforcement.
Showed one public Instagram profile out of two, but failed YouTube, TikTok and ChatGPT and stuck on "Just a moment..." for all six Cloudflare sites. Its paid product is a VPN app, which a managed device usually will not let you install.
