Holy Unblocker keeps the open web open.
Holy Unblocker is a browser-based web proxy that loads the sites a network is filtering — no extension, no download, no admin rights needed. Type a URL, and Holy Unblocker fetches the page through its proxy engine and hands it back to your tab.
What is Holy Unblocker?
Holy Unblocker is an open-source web proxy project maintained under Titanium Network. In plain terms, it's a website that fetches other websites on your behalf and rewrites the traffic so it can reach you even when a network, a browser policy, or a country-level filter is trying to block the destination directly. You open Holy Unblocker in a browser, type or paste a URL into its search bar, and the page loads inside the Holy Unblocker tab.
Under the hood, the project doesn't rely on a single trick. It ships with several interchangeable proxying engines — Scramjet and Ultraviolet for general-purpose site rewriting, and Rammerhead as a fallback for sites that need session-based proxying. Each engine handles the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript of the destination page differently, which is why Holy Unblocker can keep working even when one method gets detected and blocked by a filter.
The project also layers on privacy tooling that a plain proxy wouldn't have: built-in ad blocking, tab title and favicon cloaking (so the browser tab doesn't visually announce what's open), optional routing through Tor/Onion or a custom SOCKS5 proxy, and "source randomization" that shuffles parts of the page source so automated filters have a harder time fingerprinting the traffic as proxy traffic.
Because the entire codebase is public, anyone can read exactly what it does, run it on their own server, or contribute changes — there's no black-box client, no browser extension asking for permissions, and no account required to use a self-hosted instance.
How Holy Unblocker gets you to a blocked page
You enter a destination
Open a Holy Unblocker instance and type a URL, or a search term, into the omnibox on the home screen — it works like a normal browser address bar.
The request is handed to a proxy engine
Holy Unblocker routes the request through Scramjet, Ultraviolet, or Rammerhead — chosen automatically or manually in the Settings menu — which fetches the destination site server-side.
The page is rewritten and returned
Links, scripts, and assets inside the fetched page are rewritten so they continue to load through the proxy, then the finished page is streamed back into your browser tab.
Optional extra routing kicks in
If Tor, Onion routing, or a custom SOCKS5/HTTPS proxy is enabled in Settings, the traffic is routed through that layer as well before it ever reaches the open internet.
Everything built into the project
Multiple proxy engines
Scramjet, Ultraviolet, and Rammerhead are bundled together, so if one method is blocked another can take over.
Built-in ad blocking
Ads are stripped across proxied sites by default, without needing a separate extension installed.
Tab cloaking
Customize the browser tab's title and icon from the Settings menu to keep your browsing history harder to scan at a glance.
Tor / Onion routing
Route traffic through Tor or a custom SOCKS5 proxy directly from the Settings menu — no separate Tor Browser needed.
Source randomization
Page source and proxy identifiers are shuffled to make automated keyword and pattern filters less effective.
Fully open source
The complete codebase is public on GitHub under Titanium Network, free to audit, fork, and self-host.
Download Holy Unblocker
Holy Unblocker is browser-based, so there's no installer to run — "downloading" it means getting the open-source project itself, either to run instantly in the cloud or to host on your own server. Pick whichever fits how you want to use it.

Coverage depends on how a given self-hosted instance and its underlying proxy engines are configured. If a specific site doesn't load, switching the proxy engine in the Settings menu (Scramjet ↔ Ultraviolet ↔ Rammerhead) resolves most cases.

Why people run Holy Unblocker
Restrictive networks
Reaching everyday sites and services on networks that apply broad, non-configurable filtering.
Privacy-conscious browsing
Keeping a browsing session's traffic routed through a proxy layer, with optional Tor/SOCKS5 routing on top.
Traveling or region-locked content
Reaching a service that behaves differently, or is unavailable, from a given network or region.
Developers & self-hosters
Studying or extending an open-source proxy stack (Scramjet, Ultraviolet, Rammerhead) for other projects.
Holy Unblocker FAQ
What is Holy Unblocker?
Holy Unblocker is a free, open-source web proxy that loads websites through a proxy engine so they can be reached even when a network or browser policy is filtering direct access. It runs entirely in the browser, with nothing to install.
Is Holy Unblocker free to use?
Yes. The project is open-source and published on GitHub. The code itself is free to use, self-host, and modify; running your own instance only costs whatever hosting you choose to put it on.
Do I need to install a browser extension or app?
No. Holy Unblocker is fully browser-based — you open a webpage and it works. There's no extension, desktop client, or mobile app required.
Can I run my own private instance?
Yes, and it's the option the project is optimized for. Clone the GitHub repository, install the dependencies, and run it on a VPS, container host, or supported free-tier platform — see the Self-Host section above.
Why would a site fail to load?
Some destination sites use bot- or proxy-detection that can intermittently block a specific proxy engine. Switching between Scramjet, Ultraviolet, and Rammerhead in the Settings menu resolves most cases; heavy CAPTCHA pages can still be inconsistent.
Who maintains Holy Unblocker?
Holy Unblocker is maintained as a flagship project of Titanium Network, an open-source community focused on web proxy development, with its source hosted publicly on GitHub.
