Most public networks in schools and universities use firewalls to block social media websites like Facebook and Instagram. You can bypass these filters using a VPN on your laptop or smartphone. This is an easy process, but some users may not want to download a VPN app just to access one website. In this case, users can employ proxy sites on their web browsers to unlock their desired content. Here are our picks for the top 10 free proxy sites to unblock websites on any network.
