Comment: ProxyPal.net AndreaMouse (talk) 15:43, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
ProxyPal.net is a free, browser-based web proxy service designed to enable users to access the internet anonymously and bypass geographical or institutional content restrictions. The platform requires no software installation and operates entirely within a web browser, distinguishing it from more complex privacy tools like virtual private networks (VPNs).
Overview
[edit]ProxyPal.net functions as an intermediary between the user and the internet by routing web traffic through its own servers. This process masks the user's IP address and encrypts data transfers, enhancing both privacy and security. Its web-based interface allows for quick access across a variety of devices without the need for user accounts or downloads.

Features
[edit]Key features of ProxyPal.net include:
- Anonymous Browsing: The service conceals users’ IP addresses to enhance privacy online.
- SSL Encryption: It provides SSL protection even when the destination website does not natively support HTTPS.
- Cross-Platform Accessibility: Usable on desktop and mobile operating systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
- Ad-Free Experience: Unlike many proxy tools, ProxyPal.net is presented as free from intrusive advertising.
- Unrestricted Downloads: Users are able to download files without data caps or bandwidth throttling.
- Permalink Functionality: The platform enables the creation and sharing of special URLs for accessing restricted content via proxy.
Applications
[edit]ProxyPal.net is commonly used to:
- Access region-restricted websites and streaming platforms.
- Circumvent school, workplace, or government-imposed internet censorship.
- Browse the web privately without logging or tracking.
Limitations
[edit]Like many web proxies, ProxyPal.net may offer slower connection speeds compared to VPNs and can occasionally be blocked by websites that detect proxy use. It is intended for lightweight and general-purpose browsing rather than intensive or high-security use.
