Goive is a proxy website used to bypass web filters while at school or work. This site's domain is Goive.co.nr, formerly Goive.tk.
Goive works with external proxies, meaning that it does not have one itself. This has the advantage that when a proxy is blocked, it simply finds a new one and embeds it into the page. For that reason, it cannot be categorised as a Proxy, and is unlikely to be blocked.
Goive was started in May 2006 by a Wykehamist. In September a Members Area was created.
