Leaving FilterBypass: the numbers side by side

A FilterBypass alternative, judged by a competitor who says so up front: the record we hold, the gaps in it, and the test that outranks this page.

Free proxies won't hold up here.

Shared datacenter IPs get flagged and dropped fast. When it has to hold, gaming, streaming, accounts, you need mobile and residential IPs that read as a real device, from $0.44/GB, pay as you go.

Residential proxies

Most pages titled "FilterBypass alternative" are affiliate lists with the payout order baked in. This one is written by a rival, which is a different bias and an easier one to correct for, because you can check every number we print.

What we can and cannot tell you about FilterBypass

FilterBypass operates from filterbypass.me.

What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for FilterBypass. Rather than print a figure we cannot stand behind, this page leaves it out and tells you what to look for when you read their page yourself.

Their pricing page will answer three of the four questions that matter. Send an email for the fourth, which is usually whether blocked requests are billed, and keep the reply.

What is on their front page

Read 9 September 2026, the homepage titles itself "FilterBypass.me - Fastest Free Anonymous Web Proxy". The description they publish for search engines reads: "Bypass internet filters to access blocked websites, unblock videos and surf anonymously with our SSL secured free web proxy service."

The rest of what the page puts in writing:

We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.

Every line above is a quotation from their marketing rather than a measurement by us. It is included because it is checkable, not because it is evidence of performance.

The domain record

The Internet Archive holds 20 snapshots of the site, the earliest from October 2013.

Age is not quality. A long registration does not make a network good, and a new one does not make it bad. What it does rule out is the shortest-lived pattern in this market, which is a site that appears, sells, and is gone inside a year.

The questions FilterBypass gets asked

Google reports 10 searches a month worldwide across the terms carrying this brand: 10 a month for an alternative to them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.

Most of that demand is people looking for a way out. That is what this page is written for, and it is why the sections above lead with what is published rather than with a verdict.

The parts no marketing page answers

The reputation you inherit

An address you share carries the reputation of everyone else on it. That is acceptable for some work and fatal for anything involving a login. The price difference between shared and dedicated usually reflects exactly this.

Ask whether failed requests are billed

Divide the spend by the successful responses, not by the requests sent. That single change reorders most price comparisons in this market, and your accounting will use it eventually anyway.

Threads, not gigabytes, are often the ceiling

Rate limits are often enforced per account rather than per plan, which means buying more traffic does not raise them. Confirm how yours scales before you assume a bigger plan runs faster.

Side by side, with the blanks left blank

The table answers what we can answer and marks what we cannot:

How to settle it yourself in ten minutes

Run this before you commit any volume. It replaces every opinion on this page, including ours.

  1. Buy the minimum each side offers. Prefer a small paid batch over a trial, because trial traffic does not always ride the same pool.
  2. Send an identical workload through each: same target, same tooling, same time of day, same request mix.
  3. Log successes, failures and gigabytes used. Cost per successful request is the figure you are after.
  4. Verify a slice of the exits independently. Country labels in this market are self-reported and are not always right.
  5. Take the winner and set a reminder to run this again, since a result has a shelf life of about a quarter.

Who else is in this bracket

The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:

Our side of it

HProxy is pay as you go from $0.44 per GB on residential, with ISP, mobile and datacenter under one balance and no commitment attached to any of them. Run the test. If we lose on your target, we lose, and you have your answer.

Frequently asked questions

Why look for a FilterBypass alternative at all?
The usual reasons any buyer compares two providers: the pricing model stopped fitting the usage pattern, a target started blocking, a specific country underperformed, a balance expired, or support went quiet. None of those is visible from a marketing page, which is why a small paid test on your own target settles it faster than any review.
How is HProxy different?
The models differ more than the products do. HProxy is pay as you go from a balance you top up when you want, the balance does not expire, there is no subscription unless the optional discount suits you, and residential starts at $0.44 per GB with city and ISP targeting included. Whether that beats a tiered plan depends on your usage pattern, which a short test settles.
Do I have to talk to sales or sign a contract to switch?
Not with us. You can sign up, add funds and send traffic without a call, a minimum or a subscription. Whether another provider requires any of those is on their own pricing page and is worth reading, because a required commitment is part of the price even when it is not part of the rate.
How often should I re-test a provider?
Quarterly is a reasonable rhythm for most workloads, and immediately after a noticeable drop in success rate. Pools are rebuilt, suppliers change and detection improves, so a benchmark from last year describes a network that no longer exists.
Does a bigger pool mean better results?
No. Your job meets only the exits it draws, in the countries it needs, against one target's defences. Freshness and rotation policy move the outcome far more than the headline total, and pool totals across this market are counted generously and rarely audited.

Proxies that don't die mid-job
