How it works

3 steps. No setup.

  1. Type an address or search

    Drop in any web address, or just search for whatever you want to open.

  2. We open it for you

    TrickyBird fetches the site for you, so the request to the site goes out from our server, not from your browser.

  3. Browse like normal

    The site opens in the same tab, and the address you visit never shows up in the URL bar or on the page.

Why TrickyBird

Privacy that just works.

TrickyBird sits between you and the sites you visit, so what you browse stays your business.

  • Your destination stays private

    The site you open stays out of your address bar and off the page you see.

  • No account, minimal logs

    Nothing to sign up for. There is no account, name, or email for a log to point back to, and the access log we keep is gone within 48 hours.

  • Works on real sites

    Pages, images, video and sign-ins keep working, not just plain text.

  • Nothing to install

    Runs in any browser, on any device. No app, no extension, no setup.

What it is

What TrickyBird does

TrickyBird is a web proxy, not a VPN. It opens 1 site at a time in your browser tab, rather than routing your whole device through a tunnel, and there is no app to install.

The address of the site you open never shows up in your URL bar or on the page you see. On many sites the pages, images, video and sign-in all keep working.

The address of the site you opened never appears here

The site loads in the tab you are already in, and its own address stays out of the URL bar and off the page.

Questions

A few common questions

Does it work on a school or work Chromebook?
Yes, it can. TrickyBird runs in your browser with nothing to install, so a locked-down school or work Chromebook is not the obstacle. There is no extension to add and no admin rights to ask for: if the device has a browser, you have everything the method needs. The unblock guide walks through it step by step.
Is using a web proxy legal?
Usually, yes. Reaching a public site your network blocks is more a question of that network’s or your employer’s rules than of the law. Do not use TrickyBird to get around paywalls, logins, or copyright protection, or for anything unlawful. This is general information, not legal advice. Some countries restrict circumvention tools, so check the guide on proxies and the law, and the policy of the network you are on.
Do I need to install anything?
No. TrickyBird has no app and no extension. It runs entirely in your browser, from a single link, on a phone, a laptop, or a managed device you cannot install software on. Open the link, paste the address you want, and the site loads in the same tab.
