About OpenLibreNet

The open web should be open to everyone

OpenLibreNet is a free service for anonymous browsing, geo-unblocking and team browsing. No account, no install, no cost - built and sponsored by Surfly.

How it started

For over a decade we have built the plumbing for real-time web sessions - the technology that lets a support agent and a customer look at the same page, at the same moment, with nothing installed on either side.

Making that work meant solving one genuinely hard problem: rendering any website, faithfully, inside a browser we control. And once you can do that, you can do more than share a page. You can change what the page is.

“Your rewriting engine is so powerful - what if we could use it to reshape the web itself?”

The question our customers kept asking

OpenLibreNet is that question answered, pointed at the open web instead of a support desk. Enter a URL, pick a region, and the page loads in a browser that isn't yours, somewhere that isn't here. The site sees a clean machine in another country. You just see the site.

No plugins. No installs. No limits.

What you get, for free

Three capabilities, one URL bar. Each one is carried by an engine that already runs in production somewhere far less forgiving.

Anonymous browsing

Pages render in a throwaway remote browser, so your IP, your fingerprint and your cookies never reach the site. Each session is isolated, and it is destroyed the moment you close it.

Geo-unblocking

Exit from the US, UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands or Hong Kong. You pick the region before you start, and there is no tunnel to set up and no client to configure — browsing from another country is just a new session, not a reconfiguration.

Team browsing

Send a link and someone joins the session you are already in - same page, same scroll, in real time. Works on any device, with no account on either end.

Technology

Built on two engines

OpenLibreNet is not a new stack. It is two mature products, already trusted by regulated industries, aimed at the open web and handed over for free.

Surfly

Behind team browsing

Surfly provides enterprise co-browsing for organisations that need advanced, compliant collaboration - banks, insurers and support teams who cannot ask a customer to install anything. OpenLibreNet shares sessions on that same engine.

  • Real-time sessions with no download
  • Used in regulated industries at scale
  • A decade of production traffic

Webfuse

Behind privacy and geo-unblocking

Webfuse is a platform for web augmentation - building extensions and automations that run on top of any website, without touching its source code. It is what renders pages remotely, and what lets us place that render in another country.

  • Runs on any site, no source access
  • Rewriting engine, not a browser plugin
  • Six exit regions available today

Free, and staying free

Surfly sponsors OpenLibreNet, which is why there is no paywall and no account to create. If you need enterprise co-browsing for your own product, talk to Surfly. If you want to build augmentations or automations on top of any website, look at Webfuse.

The infrastructure underneath

OpenLibreNet is new. What it runs on is not - the session engine has been carrying production traffic for enterprises for over a decade.
