What are VPN extensions for Chrome?

What are VPN extensions for Chrome?

All VPN extensions for Chrome are proxy extensions. That is, you’re connecting to a proxy server, not a VPN server. The tech people say that it can’t be done any other way — unless the extension is used to control the already-installed VPN app. But not all proxies are configured the same, and Surfshark’s Chrome VPN proxy extension features all the security one could want from an HTTPS proxy

Secure your Chrome browser and access the open internet

The Surfshark VPN proxy extension for Chrome does more than just increase your online privacy. It also opens the online world for you. It doesn’t matter if the blocks are imposed by the government, the internet service provider, your school, or your workplace. You can get past those blocks with a Chrome browser VPN proxy extension.

Hide your IP address

Hide your IP address

Websites can record what you do online by tracking your IP (Internet Protocol) address. This address leads back to you. Install a VPN Chrome extension to replace your real IP address with an IP from a VPN server.

Don’t worry about privacy

Don’t worry about privacy

A quality and paid VPN like Surfshark operates under a no-activity-logs policy. It even maintains servers that would go blank if anyone tried to seize them. Plus, unlike free VPNs, a paid VPN allows unlimited bandwidth for all your devices.

Bypass local firewalls

Bypass local firewalls

When a school, dorm, workplace, or other similar internet supplier blocks your online activity, they use fairly simple methods. Using a Chrome VPN proxy extension helps you bypass them and many others.

Visit censored websites

Visit censored websites

Should I use a free VPN Chrome extension?

Free VPN extensions are as untrustworthy as free VPN apps. None of them can match paid versions in performance — and most have incentives to compromise your security in the name of profits. Here’s why you should choose premium instead of using a free VPN Chrome extension:

No activity logs

No activity logs

Premium VPNs don't track your online activities and have less incentive to lie about it since they don't need to sell user data to finance themselves.

No gimmicks

Modern protocols

Research and development cost money. Premium VPN developers have their subscription model provide a steady flow of funds for such projects.

Unlimited data

Unlimited data

Free VPNs often limit your speed or data to make you buy the premium version. A premium VPN doesn’t have such limits.

Prioritizing security

Prioritized security

Keeping a secure and modern VPN network requires a lot of money, something that premium VPNs have due to the subscription model.

Thousands of servers

Thousands of servers

It’s not just about the number of servers. It’s also about how many different countries the servers are in. Premium VPNs like Surfshark have more servers in more locations.

Good speeds

Good speeds

The steady flow of money from subscriptions allows for improved server infrastructure and more servers to ease congestion.
