Proxyoku provides a browser-accessible rewriting proxy for public HTTP and HTTPS pages. The service currently uses one exit route in the Netherlands. It requires no extension, application, or device-wide network configuration.
Its scope is deliberately narrow: Proxyoku handles pages opened through its own interface. It is not a VPN, an anonymity service, a malware scanner, or a replacement for browser and account security.
How the Service Works
When a user enters an address, Proxyoku creates an admitted browser session and sends the request through the Netherlands route. The route connects to the destination, receives its response, and attempts to rewrite links and page resources so navigation can continue through the proxy.
If the entry is not recognized as an address or hostname, Proxyoku converts it into a Brave Search query. Session admission uses rate limits, route checks, and limited browser signals to reduce automated abuse. The service also processes launch information for recommendations, analytics, troubleshooting, and service operation; details are explained in the Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Boundary
A destination request processed through Proxyoku leaves through the proxy route instead of being sent directly from the user's device. That changes one network signal, but it does not remove every way a person can be recognized.
- Signing in reveals the account being used.
- Cookies and browser characteristics may link activity across visits.
- Forms, messages, uploads, and other submitted content may identify the sender.
- Traffic outside the Proxyoku session keeps its normal route.
Proxyoku is also part of the communication path. It must receive destination addresses and process requests and responses for the service to function. An HTTPS page therefore involves a protected browser-to-proxy connection and a separate proxy-to-destination connection; it is not opaque end-to-end from the proxy operator.
Why Some Websites Do Not Work
A rewriting proxy changes the environment in which a page runs. Websites that rely on strict origin checks, complex authentication, CAPTCHAs, DRM, streaming protocols, WebSockets, or rapidly changing scripts may load only partially or fail. Proxyoku does not claim universal compatibility.
What We Will Describe Honestly
- Route availability: one Netherlands route, unless the deployed service genuinely changes.
- Privacy: a changed request route, not guaranteed anonymity.
- Coverage: pages opened through Proxyoku, not all device traffic.
- Compatibility: best-effort page adaptation, not guaranteed website functionality.
- Performance: no speed or latency claim without a dated, reproducible measurement.
Responsible Use
Proxyoku is intended for lawful access to public web content, regional page comparison, and compatibility testing. Users must respect applicable law, managed-network policies, and destination-site terms. The service must not be used for automation, security evasion, unauthorized access, malware, spam, or other prohibited activity described in the Terms of Service.
Because a web proxy is an intermediary, users should avoid sending financial details, highly sensitive personal information, or important account credentials through it.
Corrections and Service Questions
If a technical description on this site no longer matches the deployed service, or a public page fails through the route, report the affected URL and observed behavior through the contact page. Claims should be updated when the implementation changes, rather than preserved for search traffic.
