4everproxy Review
4everproxy is quick, loaded every test page and offers the longest location list of the classic free proxies, and most of those locations really exit where they say. The price is advertising: it added as many ad slots to proxied pages as any proxy we tested and called ad networks more often than any other, and YouTube asked us to prove we were not a bot.
The short version
- 21 exit locations listed; we tested 20 and 18 exited in the country picked. Every exit was on a hosting company's network.
- 10 of 10 test loads succeeded at a median of 2,148 ms, in the faster half of the field.
- Among the most ads in our test: a median of 2 ad slots added per proxied page, banner frames above and below the site, and 22 ad-network requests, the most of any proxy.
- Useful options (remove scripts, allow cookies, encrypt page), but YouTube showed a bot check instead of playing.

What 4everproxy is
4everproxy is one of the long-running classic web proxies: a URL box, a "Select WebServer" list of 10 servers that defaults to Warsaw, and a separate "Select IPLocation" list for the exit IP. Under the form are switches that most rivals do not offer: remove page titles, allow cookies, remove scripts, encrypt page and permanent URLs. There is also a separate video proxy, which we did not test.
It is funded two ways. The site runs Google AdSense, and it sells its own VPN, priced from $3.95 to $9.95 a month on its site. Proxied pages we opened carried a banner at the top advertising that VPN from $3.95 a month.
How it performed in our test
Across ten timed loads (five targets, two runs each), 4everproxy completed 10 of 10 attempts at a median of 2,148 ms, in the faster half of the field, and it was consistent: example.com came up in a little over a second and the heavier pages in about two.
Both compatibility checks we could run passed: the TodoMVC React app kept a typed to-do, and the GitHub login form showed its username and password fields. Staying signed in was not part of the test. The allow cookies option was on by default, which is what logins need.
YouTube did not play. Instead of the video, YouTube asked us to "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot", a prompt it tends to show to addresses it treats as automated traffic. The video proxy may behave differently; we tested the main proxy.
The location list is the standout. We picked each of the 21 options in turn and checked the exit IP. Tor has no fixed country, so we did not score it, which left 20. Of those, 18 exited in the country picked. The two that did not were Netherlands, which exited in France, and Lithuania, which exited in Poland. Every exit we saw was on a hosting company's network (mostly OVH SAS, with FranTech Solutions and Free Range Cloud Hosting for a few), each tagged by ip-info.com as a corporate connection. No separate IP-type classification was run.
Ads are the weak point. The landing page showed three AdSense slots. Inside the session, 4everproxy added a median of 2 ad slots to each proxied page, a banner frame above the site and one below, tied with GenMirror for the most of any proxy we tested. Its pages also made a median of 22 requests to ad networks per page, again the most in the field, and even a plain JSON page with no ads of its own triggered several. We saw no pop-ups or new tabs.
Is 4everproxy safe?
4everproxy serves the proxy over HTTPS and offers an encrypt page option on top. Those are real strengths for a free proxy.
Its "No Logs" claim, however, is made for the paid VPN. Nothing we found says what the free web proxy records, so its logging counts as not disclosed. The volume of ad code on every page also means several ad networks see that you loaded a page through it. Keep it to public browsing, and do not sign in to accounts you care about through any free proxy.
Who it suits
4everproxy suits someone who wants a fast free proxy with a real choice of European and North American exits, and who does not mind ads around the page. Power users will like the script and cookie switches, and the Tor option is unusual for a web proxy.
If the ads put you off, or you need a residential IP or a country outside its list, Shifter Web Proxy offers 54 countries of residential IPs with no ads. Its free allowance is capped at 30 minutes and 100 MB a day with a reCAPTCHA before each session, where 4everproxy publishes no limit.

How we scored it
Measured from a single connection in the EU, using test method wpb-1.1. Every proxy ran the same scripted session. Countries are scored on a log scale, because a jump from 3 to 20 countries matters far more to a visitor than one from 100 to 200, and only countries with residential exits count: every exit we observed is classified by its network, consumer ISP or hosting provider. Ads are scored on three parts: ads on the landing page (25%), ad slots added to proxied pages, filled or empty (45%) and ad-network code loaded while you browse, seen or not (30%). Any ad-network request caps that part at 6 out of 10.
Every criterion is calculated from published facts or our own measurements and normalised across all the free web proxies we track, Shifter included. Nothing is scored by hand, so a proxy that beats ours on a criterion scores higher on it.
- Speed measuredWeight 22% 8.3/10
2148 ms median page load against 16 proxies we timed, multiplied by the 100% of test pages that loaded.
- Countries measuredWeight 17% 0/10
Every exit we observed was on a hosting or cloud provider's network, so none count as residential. Log scale against the widest residential choice in the field (54).
- Ads measuredWeight 22% 1.3/10
Landing page ads: yes. Ad slots added to proxied pages, filled or empty: 2. Ad-network requests per proxied page: 22.
- Compatibility measuredWeight 22% 5/10
Passed 1 of 2 checks (YouTube playback, staying logged in, a JavaScript app).
- PrivacyWeight 17% 5/10
Operator named: yes. Logging: no policy published. HTTPS to the proxy: yes.
