Bypass Netflix blocking, stay on VKontakte from Ukrainian IPs, download torrents with impunity - all this is possible with the latest version of Opera has a built-in VPN function, but for Google you need to install the extension separately. IN Google Play or in the browser’s online store there are at least a hundred different services available. All are shareware and differ only in icons and logos. To help you avoid guessing which one to choose, we offer evaluation criteria and a list of recommended VPN extensions for Chrome.

Free or Premium

Before moving on to the list of VPN services, let’s figure out what criteria to use for selection. In the first place is the age-old question: “To pay or not to pay?” Of course, saving money is always nice. Especially if the VPN extension for Chrome browser is used for minor purposes. Like, for example, logging into Odnoklassniki. But if anonymity is needed for corporate work, and you care about your privacy and security, then free package services are not enough.

Bandwidth

Imagine the situation. You pay for 150 MB high-speed Internet and want to install a VPN extension. But as soon as you do this, a metamorphosis occurs with the Internet. Each page takes 10-15 seconds to load, watching movies online becomes a chore, and even YouTube videos begin to slow down. This is the tricks of a free VPN.

PPTP connection

Free VPN versions use the PPTP protocol. He is reliable, vulnerable and long overdue for oblivion. Instead of protection, you may end up with hacking and data leakage. The paid service provides a secure connection via L2TP/IPSEC, OpenVPN, SSTP or SSH.

Besides third-party attacks, there is a risk of reselling your precious data when using a free VPN for Chrome. The Hola extension was recently caught making similar dirty insinuations. The creators traded in user traffic, but that’s not the worst thing. The service was used by hackers as a botnet.

Trust me, you won't be happy when a third party takes over your browser history. Therefore, resist the temptation to save money. Paid VPNs also have some nice little things:

• no advertising;
• support service;
• increased functionality.

When you don't have money for a VPN

Have you decided that free VPN better than not having one. There is no opportunity or desire to pay for the service. In this case, use the free version. Introducing the top best extensions VPN for Chrome with a proven reputation and reliable protection. Plus, every service on the list offers a one-week Premium trial.

You can, of course, take a less than honest route. When your premium account expires, uninstall the app and order a paid trial again. To re-register, remember to use a new mailing address each time.

DotVPN

Young but respected service. As the developers themselves say, DotVPN is better than VPN. Sounds a bit like gobbledygook, but the service has 860,559 users and 10 million downloads worldwide. The expansion has 24 data centers in 12 countries: Canada, Germany, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Russia, the US and the UK.

Advantages:

• unlimited bandwidth;
• V free version 70% of premium is available and you can use any of 12 countries;
• encryption with 4096-bit key;
• built-in firewall, or firewall, which filters traffic;
• the service does not record browser history, which means it will not resell the data.

The only downside to the free version of this VPN extension for Chrome is the speed. No matter how the creators convince of the vaunted power from Smart Security, loading videos online will be slow.

Hotspot Shield

The most reliable extension. It can even bypass the Great Firewall of China. Owned by a team of Russian developers living in California. In 2006, Dmitry Gorodyansky and Evgeny Malobrodsky decided to create a free Wi-Fi network for a cafe. The invention was called AnchorFree. It is now the largest platform, with 500 million users in 200 countries.

This VPN extension works for Google Chrome on PC with OS X and Windows. Also available for gadgets based on iOS, Android, Windows Phone. The service has a nice interface, a lot additional functions, you can configure AdBlock separately, install full protection or only individual sites. The VPN is easy to turn on and off and is lightweight.

Browsec

One of the best VPN extensions for Chrome. Positions itself as an advanced analogue of ZenMate, Stealthy, Hola and friGate. Encrypts traffic and opens access to blocked sites. Weighs 2.42 MB versus 3.98 MB Hotspot Shield. There is a version for Android and iOS. Compared to other VPNs, the free version of Browsec is much faster.

Browsec allows you to use the free version without traffic restrictions, unlike HOXX or Hotspot Shield. But access is only available to Singapore, the Netherlands, the UK and the USA. For $3.33 per month, Browsec allows you to connect to 30 countries around the world.

ZenMate

German cybersecurity quality weighing 1.76 MB. The application has been downloaded and installed by 42 million users. ZenMate has 27 servers in different countries. This is a multifunctional service for PC and mobile devices.

Advantages:

• online privacy;
• secure Wi-Fi;
• unlimited access to the Internet;
• bypass geo-blocking and censorship;
• protection from tracking trackers.

ZenMate only has two functions: on/off. and change of location. You can also view traffic, there are pop-up tips. This is not just a plugin or VPN extension for Chrome, but a full-fledged application. There are many articles on the official website about what a virtual private network, encryption, and cryptography are.

The main quality of ZenMate is turbo speed. This is really the most fast VPN, including torrent downloading. 7-day free trial available trial version for premium service to truly appreciate ZenMate. A monthly subscription costs $7.49 or $4.99 for a year.

Tunnel Bear VPN

The Canadian bear is guarding your safety. Of all the VPNs, the TunnelBear extension is distinguished by its logo. Also at the service best reviews, unprecedented 5 stars and reviews on Lifehacker, Mac World, TNW, Huffington Post and WSJ.com. It's actually not really a VPN. TunnelBear is more of an encrypted proxy. A Cure53 security audit in August 2017 confirmed the high level of security of TunnelBear servers and infrastructure.

The service weighs only 1.5 MB. There are two versions: a browser extension and a desktop application. In the first case you get:

• bypass blocking;
• secure Wi-Fi connection;
• protection from tracking of advertising campaigns and statistics sites;
• ability to connect to 20 countries of the world.

As a VPN extension for Chrome on your computer, TunnelBear provides 100% data encryption. To install, you need to register a user and indicate your mailbox. The service works quickly, the speed is enough to watch movies and video content.

Another feature is the creative map design when switching countries. The only downside is that the free version is limited. Only 500 MB is allocated monthly. If you “tweet” the bear, they will add another 1 GB. There are two paid plans: Giant for $9.99 per month and Grizzly annual subscription for $4.99 for one month and $59.88 for twelve.

You can evaluate which of the proposed extensions is better yourself. All are easily and quickly installed in one click, each has an intuitive interface. You can use several plugins at once, the main thing is not at the same time. Ultimately, you will choose the best one for yourself.

VPN is best way bypass blocking of sites blocked by the provider. You can also hide information about yourself, change your IP address and transfer data in encrypted form. But for ordinary users, a VPN, first of all, is an opportunity to visit sites that have been blocked and inaccessible in a particular country.

I have encountered this from my own experience. I tested different VPN extensions (add-ons) for the four most popular browsers: Opera, Google Chrome, Yandex Browser and Firefox. I decided to share this with you useful information. Below we look at the best (in my opinion), free (though not all) VPN add-ons for browsers. I’ll also show you how to find and install them in each browser. After installing and activating these extensions, you will be able to visit blocked sites, social networks (VKontakte, Odnoklassniki) and other resources.

A free VPN may not be of high quality. It works slowly and is not stable. Unfortunately, this is true. Especially in our time, when these free services a big load has fallen. A free VPN is not suitable for regular use. I think you are already convinced of this.

It’s better, of course, to buy some kind of paid VPN.

A few words about what a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is and how it works. This is a virtual private network. If this doesn’t mean anything to you, now I’ll try to explain it in simple language. There are many VPN service s, both free and paid. Using some kind of VPN service (configured via browser extension, PC program, Android, iOS), all our traffic goes through the server of this service. There can be a lot of such servers, in each country and several of them (it all depends on the specific VPN service).

We receive the IP address of the server through which we connect. This allows us to access blocked sites, since we change our location on the network, connecting through a server installed in another country (where certain sites are not blocked). All data we transmit or receive is encrypted. Which gives us additional protection, especially when connecting through open Wi-Fi networks.

Sometimes security can be deceiving when using a VPN. Since all our traffic goes through the servers of some company, there is always a risk that this company will use the information that passes through its servers. Therefore, I advise you to use only time-tested and most popular VPN browser extensions. I will talk about these in this article.

It's simple: if in your country the provider has blocked access to some sites (for example, as VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Yandex and Mail.ru are now blocked in Ukraine), then we simply install a VPN add-on in our browser, turn it on and we can go to sites to which we have been restricted from accessing.

Free VPN for Opera browser

First of all, I will talk about the solution for the Opera browser. For the reason that I myself use this browser, and in this regard it is the best. Why? But because Opera does not need to install any third-party extensions to visit blocked sites. Opera has its own built-in free VPN that works just perfectly!

All we need is to install the latest version of the browser. Then go to “Menu” – “Settings”, to the “Security” tab, and check the box next to “Enable VPN”.

All you have to do is turn on the VPN, and you can access sites that your Internet provider has blocked.

You can change your virtual location. But I advise you to leave "Optimal location".

The developers of the Opera browser are certainly great. Not only is the service free, but it also has unlimited traffic and speed. And it is very convenient to use. And most importantly, you can trust a company like Opera. In any case, this is better than some VPN services that were created a couple of days ago.

If you use the Opera browser, then I think the issue of bypassing site blocking is resolved for you.

Advice! If it is not very important for you which browser to use, then you can install Opera and visit the necessary sites through its VPN. So as not to search for and install third-party extensions in other browsers.

For Google browser Chrome has a lot of different VPN extensions. They can be found and installed from the official store. Let me first show you how extensions are installed in the Chrome browser, and then I’ll show you a few specific extensions that I personally tested in use.

Open the menu, go to More Tools and select Extensions. Then, at the bottom, click on “More extensions”.

A new tab will open with a store of various add-ons for the Chrome browser. You can simply specify VPN in the search, and we will get a list of necessary extensions.

Just click on the "Install" button, and the extension will be installed in the browser. Then, its icon will appear next to the "Menu" button.

Some VPN extensions for Chrome:

I tried many different ones. Each has its downsides. In any case, download speed may decrease.

Installing a VPN in Yandex Browser

To get started, update your browser to latest version. You can install add-ons in Yandex Browser, including VPN services.

To install an add-on, open the menu, then select Add-ons. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the "Catalogue of extensions for Yandex.Browser" button.

Enter "vpn" in the search. A list of the additions we need will appear.

To install what you need, select it and click on the “Add to Yandex.Browser” button. I recommend trying: Hola Better Internet, ZenMate VPN, TunnelBear, DotVPN - better than VPN. After installation, the extension icon will appear near the address bar (on the right). Most likely, you will need to start the VPN in the add-on settings.

Installing friGate in Yandex Browser

I think this is best solution. Everything works well, and it is possible to open only some sites that are blocked via VPN. You can create lists and add your sites there. Many blocked sites are added by default. Installing friGate using the method described above will not work. You need to download the extension file and install it.

friGate can be installed and configured in other browsers: Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Chrome.

VPN add-ons for Mozilla Firefox browser

IN Mozilla browser Firefox can also install the necessary extension. Or configure friGate, which I wrote about above (link is also above).

Go to “Menu” – “Add-ons”.

On the extensions tab, in the search bar we write “vpn”, or the name of a specific extension.

You can go to full list extensions by clicking on the appropriate link below.

I checked Hotspot Shield Free VPN Proxy, Hoxx VPN Proxy, ZenMate Security and Privacy & Unblock VPN.

Hotspot Shield works immediately after downloading and turning on. Hoxx and ZenMate require registration.

After installing VPN, blocked sites will open in Mozilla Firefox. If you don’t like the download speed or stability, you can try another add-on.

Afterword

Don't get carried away with installing everything. Remember, it may not be safe! Look at the rating, reviews, number of installations of the extension.

From free solutions, I liked the built-in VPN in Opera browser, and friGate, which can be installed in almost every browser.

Whatever VPN service you use, it has its disadvantages and inconveniences. He needs to be watched (enable or disable), speed and ping may also drop. It is possible that the server through which you are connecting may malfunction.

Don't forget to write comments. Share your advice, opinions, and ask questions.

Sometimes an ordinary user cannot access the desired site due to blocks imposed directly by the creators of the resource or the Internet provider with whom the user has entered into an agreement. In most cases, this raises questions about how to bypass such restrictions. This is possible by changing your IP address through special means. Today we want to talk about how this process is carried out in the world-famous browser.

Almost all currently existing extensions or anonymizer sites work using approximately the same technology, but gain an audience by providing unique functions. It is all of this that will be discussed further, which will help you choose exactly the product that will satisfy absolutely all your needs. Let's start with add-ons installed in the web browser, and then we'll talk about anonymizers.

Option 1: Extensions

Web browser extensions are the most popular method of bypassing blocked web resources. Our website has already collected many review articles that are devoted to the analysis of well-known VPN tools. We suggest studying these materials in more detail to learn about all the advantages and disadvantages of these add-ons, and also download them from Google Webstore.

Many extensions that provide VPN or Proxy functionality are free, but come with certain limitations. For example, immediately after installation you can choose one of three or four locations to spoof an address, and the remaining options will be available only after purchasing a premium account. Accordingly, the speed on such paid servers increases several times due to low load and other factors. The list of similar tools includes Browsec. Its principle of operation is that the user is required to press only one button, having previously selected a location, in order to immediately start the process of redirecting traffic. Read more about this solution in a separate review on our website by clicking on the link below.

The developers of an add-on called friGate have created their own database of sites that can be blocked for certain users. This allows the user to work on unblocked web services without the participation of a VPN, and when opening web resources with limited access it will be activated automatically. In the settings of this tool there are several interesting parameters that allow you to improve anonymity, for example, you can enter your own proxies or enable enhanced bypass by activating the function "Anonymity". You can activate the extension on any website, even if it functions perfectly when using its native IP address.

Additionally, it is worth noting the addition from the same developers called FriGate UA. Its name already suggests that it is aimed at people using the services of Ukrainian Internet providers. This tool is best suited in cases where you often go to Yandex, Mail.ru sites, have profiles in social network VKontakte or Odnoklassniki. FriGate UA provides a standard traffic encryption algorithm, and the connection speed practically does not decrease when moving to blocked web resources.

ZenMate is another classic extension that provides IP spoofing while running in active mode. The main difference between this tool and those discussed above is the need to create a profile during registration. This will not only allow you to restore the previously selected settings each time you log into your account, but will also come in handy in cases where the user wants to purchase a premium subscription to get additional options. If there is an extended paid version, then the free version has certain limitations. This includes only a small list of available servers, which very often affects the connection speed. We recommend using ZenMate for those who are thinking about purchasing premium versions in the future, because only then will using a VPN become truly comfortable.

Bypassing Runet blocking

We recommend that users from the Russian Federation pay special attention to the “Bypassing Runet Blocking” add-on, since this application was created specifically to bypass blockings that were included in the Roskomnadzor list. This extension works on the principle of activation only when you try to go to a web resource with limited access, which will allow you not to lose speed when using the Internet every day, but nothing prevents you from setting up proxying to some other specific site if you need to replace your real IP address.

Perhaps, “Bypassing Runet Blocking” is one of the most extensive and flexible tools of this kind, since immediately after installation the user can go to the main control menu and select one of the address spoofing modes there. There are three options to choose from, and the action of each of them is described in detail by the creators in a separate pop-up window when you hover over the icon exclamation mark. In addition to all this, the user can configure the list of web resources that require blocking. In addition, we note the algorithm "Proxy or Die". It works on the principle of interrupting connections when all proxies fail and allows you to leave the page unnoticed.

If you have a very weak computer, which does not allow you to install a huge number of extensions and keep them active at all times, we advise you to study the MINI version of the extension discussed above. A complete tool is always available background and consumes about 30 megabytes RAM, and this version is launched only when a need to bypass the lock is detected. The developers described the differences between these two variations in more detail on their official website.

Betternet Unlimited Free VPN Proxy

Betternet Unlimited Free VPN Proxy is one of the simplest extensions to the topic being discussed today. In its menu you will not find additional parameters or activated options. There is only a button to turn on and select one of four locations, which are offered for free.

The developers offer to purchase and full version Betternet Unlimited Free VPN Proxy for opening a large list of locations with minimal load on the servers. This will significantly increase connection speed and increase the variability of IP spoofing. We first recommend that you familiarize yourself with the free version and test it, and then think about purchasing a premium account.

The latest addition for bypassing site blocking through the Google Chrome browser, which we will discuss in this article, is called Hola. It functions on approximately the same principle as the tools listed above. There is a free version with a limited selection of locations and low speed, and the creators have also added the ability to purchase a subscription to Hola. The tool works stably, but applies to absolutely all pages if it is in enabled mode, which can cause slight discomfort when using open web resources.

Option 2: Anonymizers

Not all people have the ability or desire to install an extension in their browser to bypass site blocking. In such cases, web services that perform the function of an anonymizer come to the rescue. They also use a VPN or Proxy, but only require you to enter the address of the page to go to.

NoBlockMe

First on our list is NoBlockMe. This anonymizer is one of the most popular in the Russian-speaking segment and provides a high, stable connection speed, which does not cause any difficulties when processing a large amount of information, for example, when listening to music or watching movies. You just need to follow the link below and insert the address for the transition into the specially designated line, after which you can comfortably use the blocked site.

Chameleon

Chameleon is practically no different from the previous solution, but due to its popularity and demand, it is even more often blocked by Internet providers, which is why we placed this site in second place. This web resource functions correctly and quickly, which will not allow you to feel the difference in connection speed when navigating through external links. Additionally, Chameleon is resistant to restrictions from the system administrator.

Nowadays, more and more anonymizers, both Russian-speaking and foreign, are appearing on the Internet. You can use any tool, since their operating principles are not much different. It is important to have several similar sites in stock, because lately they are increasingly blocked by Internet service providers or system administrators.

You have been introduced to two ways to bypass website blocking in Google Chrome. All of the above options allow you to access a portal with limited access without any difficulties, without experiencing a significant loss of connection speed. Finally, we note that there are also special programs to spoof the IP address. They already apply to the entire computer and running programs.

Today, the abbreviation VPN can be heard literally on every corner. Services, browser plugins, and even routers with a VPN connection option are appearing. Many users use a VPN connection to access websites blocked in the country. Others use it to improve overall security when accessing the Internet. However, most VPN users do not know how it works.

About VPN technology in simple terms

The term VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. Let's look at this definition in detail. We will start from the word Private, which is the main thing in this term. It means that:

The VPN connection is secure, private and created personally for the user using certain virtual servers. The information passes through this server and then reaches the user without the ability to track it. It can be compared to a car that is hiding in a tunnel with many exits. An outside observer cannot see where this car is going inside the tunnel, and will not be able to figure out exactly where it will exit.

There is usually no need to use a VPN connection all the time. It slows down your network speed, so it's best to turn on your VPN before visiting a site where you want to remain anonymous.

What is such a secure connection used for:

I would like to talk about whether using a VPN violates Russian laws. In reality, of course not. And it’s not even that VPN can be used for a variety of purposes, and not just to access prohibited sites. The technology for blocking websites in Russia is not ideal. Just recently, my ISP blocked access to many sites that I didn’t even think about banning; they came under attack by accident. Other users encountered the same problem. In this case, although the VPN was used to bypass the block, it allowed access to services, including those for which people paid their money (for example, the Playstation Network service). Maybe someday the use of VPN itself will be banned, but I hope it doesn’t come to that. As for accessing sites that are prohibited in our country, I in no way encourage anyone to use loopholes in the system. The purpose of this article is to give people information about VPNs, not to teach them how to bypass official bans.

Video: Briefly about VPN

VPN in Google Chrome

Some browsers have the option to enable VPN by default, but Google Chrome is not one of them. To use a VPN connection in this browser, you must install one of the popular custom extensions.

One of the advantages of using VPN extensions is that they do not have any special technical requirements. If you have the Google Chrome browser itself running, then VPN extensions will work correctly.

Extensions for accessing VPN in Google Chrome

There are many extensions for accessing VPN, but they all differ in connection quality and other parameters. But before we begin reviewing specific extensions, let’s figure out how to install them:

1. After opening the browser, find and click on the icon with three horizontal stripes in the corner of the screen.

   Click on the button with three stripes to open a drop-down menu

2. Go to the “Tools” or Tools section.
3. Then select Extensions.

   In the "Tools" section, select "Extensions"

4. You will see a list of all installed extensions. Here you need to click on the line “Get more” to open the extension store.

   In the extension selection window, click the Get more extensions button

5. After selecting the extension in the store, click on the plus that appears on the right side of the page.

   Click on the plus on the extension page to add it

6. And confirm its addition using the “Add” button.

   Click the “Add” button for the extension to be added

7. The extension is installed in your browser.

ZenMate

The ZenMate browser extension offers easy access to VPN servers. In the free version of the extension, you can choose a server in one of four countries. If you have a paid premium account, the choice will increase to thirty. The extension requires simple registration once added to the browser:

This extension has only one serious drawback. Servers in the free version are often overloaded, so the connection speed may not be satisfactory at all. The paid version of the extension does not have this problem; although the speed is reduced, the Internet works fine.

The paid version of the ZenMate extension has higher Internet speeds

Video: How to use the ZenMate extension

Hola VPN

The Hola service was quite popular at one time. Easy installation of the extension, completely free access to servers. But, unfortunately, the developers turned out to be not the most honest people. The fact is that the Hola service not only opened a VPN connection to the user, but also installed malicious software on the computer and used user traffic to DDOS attacks and had other hidden and unpleasant effects. Now the rating of this service on most sites is very low.

Hola extension has been found dangerous for users

Browsec

Next up is the Browsec service. He's completely on English. The price of the paid version is from 220 rubles per month. In the free version you can choose a server from one of four countries, and in the paid version - from twenty-four. This extension is good at protecting user traffic: it hides the user’s IP address, encrypts his data, and helps bypass blocking.

Installing this extension is extremely simple:

The downside of this extension is the complete lack of information about its developers. The entire privacy policy remains hidden, and no one guarantees that the situation with the Hola extension will not be repeated here. On the other hand, so far the developers have not given any cause for alarm. This is a good free extension with no traffic limit.

While you are online, your web browser continually sends information it collects about you to every website you visit. It transmits your IP address, information about operating system, your device, and even about other devices connected to your network. Even if a website you trust (such as Google or YouTube) can obtain this data without your knowledge, Just imagine what a malicious site can discover!

By using an unsecured web browser, you are placing your confidential information(such as passwords and security codes) are at risk. goodVPN-the extension will encrypt your web browser traffic, so that attackers will not be able to use your personal data to hack your accounts.

In addition to protecting your connection, the VPN browser extension will mask yourIP-address, what will allow you view geo-blocked content and bypass censorship from anywhere in the world.

Your online security depends on you choosing the best extension available. Average VPN extensions cannot guarantee that your device will not remain vulnerable, Moreover, they can even sell your data to third party companies.

To ensure an adequate level of security, you you need to make sure that the service you choose does not store logs your search history. You also need unlimited channel bandwidth, high-speed connection, and if you plan to view geo-blocked content on streaming services, then you also need a service that can bypass the latest anti-VPN technologies.
