What Floppyblock does, and what it does not do
No logging
Where you went is not written down. No history, no profile, nothing to hand over later.
No blocking
The whole web, not a list someone approved. No region check, no filter deciding for you.
Nothing to install
Runs in any browser, on any device. No app, no extension, no setup.
No sign-up
No email, no password, no card. Paste a link and it opens.

Frequently asked questions
Is Floppyblock free?
Yes. Floppyblock is free to use: there is no payment step, no card to enter, and no account to make. Paste a link and the site opens in your browser tab.
Does this work on a locked-down device with no admin rights?
Usually yes: there is nothing to install and no admin rights to ask for. Floppyblock runs in the browser the device already has, so a managed Chromebook or a work laptop opens a site like any other machine.
Which sites work through Floppyblock?
Ordinary pages of text, images and links render well. Pages that lean heavily on JavaScript may load incompletely, and video, logins and anything behind a paywall are the usual failure cases. The quick links above are the sites checked most often.
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 Floppyblock 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 policy of the network you are on.
The site sent me back here. What happened?
A session lasts 60 minutes, and when it ends the tab comes back here. After that there is a 15 minute cool-down before a fresh session starts, so one browser cannot hold the relay all day. If neither of those fits what you saw, the page may simply have failed to render: pages that lean heavily on JavaScript, video, and anything behind a login are the usual causes.
