A look at trickybird.com

TrickyBird is a web proxy that enables access to blocked websites directly in your browser without installation or administrative privileges. When you paste a website address, TrickyBird fetches the site and displays it through its own address, allowing you to browse normally while keeping the site you're visiting hidden from your network.

The service works on any device with a browser, including locked-down devices like managed Chromebooks or work laptops where software installation is restricted. It rewrites page addresses so links and video playback continue to function properly while the address bar shows TrickyBird's address instead of the site's.

Free use requires no account or payment and no card details. Premium sessions extend to 3 hours with full speed throughout, compared to free sessions limited to 1 hour. All sessions are short-lived and TrickyBird maintains only a minimal access log for at most 48 hours containing shortened IP addresses and hostname data, never full pages or content.

FAQ

Is TrickyBird free?
Yes, TrickyBird is completely free to use. Opening a site requires no payment and no card details. Simply paste a link and the site opens in your browser tab.
Do I need an account to use TrickyBird?
No account is required for free use. There is no name, email, or password to create and no sign-up step. Free sessions are short-lived and expire automatically. Only Premium comes with an account, which is created when you purchase and accessed via a one-time email link.
Does this work on a locked-down device with no admin rights?
Usually yes. There is nothing to install and no admin rights are required. TrickyBird runs in the browser the device already has, so you can use it on a managed Chromebook or work laptop without special permissions.
What is the difference between TrickyBird and a VPN?
TrickyBird is a web proxy that opens one site at a time in your browser tab, rather than routing your entire device through a tunnel. There is no app to install, which is why it can work on locked-down devices where VPNs cannot be installed.
What does TrickyBird log and keep?
TrickyBird keeps a small access log for at most 48 hours. The log records a shortened form of your IP address, the hostname of each site or service a page loads from, and basic response details. It does not record the specific pages you open, page contents, full IP addresses, cookies, or session tokens, and logs are never sold or shared with advertisers.
