Description from store
SecureProxy browser extension for Chrome provides with the ability to surf the web securely and privately without connecting to a "classic" VPN. It works like a browser proxy and all browsing traffic is encrypted through a secure tunnel.
Stealth against Firewall/DPI: when inspected using DPI technologies, the connections using the SecureProxy don't trigger alerts like a classic VPN would usually do.
There is no need to tunnel all your PC traffic through the VPN: you can have the browser tunneling the traffic through our servers and all other traffic sent via your regular ISP connection.
NOTE: You need an active VPN account from https://vpn.ac to connect using this extension.

- (2025-05-29) TJ Weber: I'll swear up and down all these VPN providers operating in China are likely owned by the Chinese government so they have complete oversight of you. And it doesn't matter if they are, unless you are doing something the government don't like. I've been using this, Astrill, Nord and others for many years. Every one of them is likely monitored by the CN government (but then again, the CIA is monitoring you too) so who tf cares? This works best for me and my staff over the other providers. The Chrome extension is great if you need hybrid connectivity (one browser with Chinese internet & another browser with your VPN) & if you use another Chromium-based browser (Edge, etc) you can have HK access in one browser, US in another, and default to Safari for ChinaNet. Recently, it's been increasingly difficult with Cloudflare, Captcha, and other providers trying to catch bots. My only recommendation to vpn.ac is try to recycle your IP addresses more, proactively get rid of the bots, or let us pay a little extra for dedicated IP addresses so the pop-ups for Captcha and Cloudflare are less annoying.
- (2025-04-06) Matthew Midkiff: Best VPN provider out there,especially when it comes to the money it costs to have the features they provide. True obfuscation, heavy encryption, and they reside in a country that we don't have to worry nearly as much as so many of the other providers. There not going to have their doors kicked in by the likes of 9 eyes and forced to give information the way our country and it's fellow members that don't want to have us out there somewhere where it's difficult to watch our every move. LOL. Thanks VPN.ac

- (2024-07-29) Firecracker Reviews: Works from CN, you have to mess with DNS however, as they get randomly blocked, and sometimes you have to switch servers too. I've been using this for years (since 2017) and rarely need to use the desktop app. It gets detected by banks but other services usually accept the provided location. However Google now says that this extension might soon not be supported by Chrome anymore, I hope it gets updated. If you use this extension, you're probably a customer of VPN.AC. Their customer service is pretty quick, and the service works well provided you follow the configuration tutorials. Not fast enough for fps gaming (300+ms ping) but good for anything else with decent speeds, for example YouTube in 4K.
