Bypassing strict local network restrictions safely at work or school via an obscure, custom-named URL that network firewalls cannot pre-identify.

For years, users relied on free public web proxy lists to bypass regional filters or browse anonymously. However, public proxies face massive operational hurdles:

While both tools aim to provide privacy and bypass blocks, they serve different purposes:
