VPN Browser Extensions and Browsers with a VPN
A browser extension protects only what happens inside that browser, which is either a limitation or exactly what you want for changing your apparent location in one tab. Several browsers now ship a VPN or proxy of their own. The difference that matters most is whether the product is a real encrypted tunnel or an HTTPS proxy that covers browser traffic alone, and providers do not always say which. Weigh which browsers are supported, whether the extension works without the desktop app, what the free version limits, what the provider says about WebRTC leaks, and what it asks to access in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a VPN browser extension and a dedicated VPN browser?
A browser extension only protects the traffic within that specific browser, which is useful if you only want to change your location in one tab. Browsers with built-in VPNs, like Aloha Browser, offer integrated features like ad blocking and can sometimes provide a phone-wide VPN through a premium tier.
Are there any free VPN options that don't require me to create an account?
Yes, several options offer no-registration or no-account free tiers. Planet VPN and 1Click VPN allow you to use their services without signing up, while X-VPN also offers a no-account free app.
Can I pay for a premium subscription using cryptocurrency?
You can if you choose specific providers. Both hide.me and X-VPN accept crypto payments, and ZoogVPN also allows you to pay with several cryptocurrencies.
Do any of these services offer more than just a VPN connection?
Many providers bundle extra security tools into their plans. PrivadoVPN and VeePN include antivirus and ad blocking, while VeePN also offers breach alerts.
Which options provide a limited amount of data on their free plans?
If you're looking for a free plan, be aware that some have data caps. PrivadoVPN provides 10GB of data every 30 days, and ZoogVPN also offers a 10GB monthly free plan.
