This VPN extension is one of the most powerful, and it's now free

 

The Proton VPN browser extension is now available to everyone, offering a simple and free way to secure your browsing and bypass online censorship.

VPNs, or virtual private networks, are essential tools for securing your internet connection. They allow you to encrypt data exchanged online. This makes browsing safer and more private. In addition, they offer the possibility of bypassing geographic restrictions and censorship imposed by certain governments, thus guaranteeing free access to information.

Proton VPN, from the same team that created ProtonMail, is a VPN widely used to protect privacy and bypass internet restrictions. The Proton VPN browser extension, compatible with Chrome and Firefox-based browsers, was previously reserved for paid subscribers. Now, it is available to everyone for free, as part of the Proton Free plan. According to the company, this move is in response to a growing demand from the Proton community, especially in countries where access to information is often limited by authoritarian regimes.

PROTON VPN EXTENSION MAKES IT EASIER TO ACCESS A SECURE INTERNET FOR FREE

The Proton VPN browser extension offers several interesting features :

• One-click connection: Secure your internet connection directly from your browser, without installing the full application.
• Censorship protection: Bypass online restrictions in countries where VPNs are often blocked on app stores.
• Compatibility: Works with all Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Brave, Edge) and Firefox (LibreWolf, Waterfox).
• Connection separation: Protect your browsing without affecting other applications on your device.
• Up to 10 simultaneous connections: Paid users can use the extension in multiple different browsers, each connected to a separate server.

The Proton VPN browser extension allows you to encrypt internet traffic in a simple and effective way. For example, a user can secure their browsing while using other applications with their local IP address. This type of solution is particularly useful for bypassing geo-restrictions or accessing content blocked in certain regions. With this free extension, Proton makes these tools more accessible to everyone, regardless of technical or financial constraints.
