About Stealthy

Does your country/organization block you from facebook, youtube or others? Is the service you want unavailable in your country? Stealthy is the solution for you.

Access all content privately without censorship; bypass firewalls.

We provide the proxies, so you don't have to bother searching for lists that usually don't work. The extension automatically selects and sets up tested proxies from the cloud.

Why Stealthy?

The term Stealthy refers to military aircraft that can penetrate into enemy territory undetected by radar. In a way, that’s what this browser extension does.

Some organizations and governments block access to web pages, and certain online services are not available in all countries. With Stealthy, users can make themselves undetectable, and thereby able to bypass the censorship.

This can be tremendously important in countries like China or Iran, where regimes censor the Internet. But even in countries like Germany, many people cannot watch music videos on YouTube because of a licensing dispute with GEMA. With Stealthy installed, this is not an issue, as you can get a foreign IP address and play the videos without issue.

Once installed, a small stealth aircraft icon will appear in your navigation bar. The color is red by default, indicating Stealthy is off. After clicking on it, Stealthy automatically searches for an appropriate proxy, sets up your browser, and turns the icon green, meaning you are now in Stealth mode.

Useful Tips

  • When you turn on Stealthy, your connection can slow down a bit, for most services you only need to use it when connecting, when the service verifies your location. Once you get past the blackout check, you can turn off the app and get back to normal speed.
  • The chrome version automatically changes the proxy when some error occur offering better performance.
  • If you want to access a service that is blocked in your place, but is not specific to some other country (like YouTube), use the default configuration, don't restrict Stealthy to use proxies from just one country and you will get way better results.
  • If your connection feels slow, if you get strange errors, or crazy window asking for password just turn Stealthy off and on again to get a different proxy.
  • Many people want to use Stealthy just on some sites, in order to achieve that you must use the chrome version, activate the incognito mode as explained here, and open those sites on an incognito window.

To take into account

  • This extension sets up a proxy on your browser, so if your configuration already requires the use of a proxy server for internet access, Stealthy will not work for you.
  • The free version of Stealthy uses public proxies that are completely out of our control, so we recommend not having it enabled (green) while performing secure tasks such as online banking.  If you always want to get a fast, reliable and anonymous proxy get Stealthy PRO.
