Browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox
Lightweight protection for desktop browsing sessions.
Browser extensions typically proxy only traffic from that browser. Your email client, games, and system updates may still use the normal network path — which can be what you want when splitting work and personal traffic.
Extensions are convenient for quick location changes before streaming or testing a site from another region. They usually add less overhead than routing the entire machine through a tunnel.
Always install from the official store listing or signed package linked from the vendor. Unofficial copies are a common malware vector. After install, pin the extension and review permissions.
Key takeaways
- Use full VPN apps when you need system-wide protection or UDP-based apps.
- Pair extensions with DNS leak checks after major browser updates.
- See the download hub for Chrome and Firefox build links on this site.
