Hello, friends! If you often visited certain sites, and one day it was not possible to go to the page, because access to it was blocked, then let's figure out what you can do about it. Of course, any blockage can be bypassed. And in this case, this is done by installing in the browser Google chrome suitable VPN extension.
What is VPN Is a Virtual Private Network or Virtual private network... The extension installed in the browser will change your real IP-address, which is used on the network, to some other one.
For example, Vkontakte has been blocked in your country. We turn on the work of the VPN extension and select any country from the proposed list. Now you enter Vkontakt not from Russia, but, for example, from Canada. That is, you do not enter the blocked page directly, but through a server located in another country selected by you from the list.
In this article, we will look at popular VPN extensions that can be installed in the Google Chrome browser, and in which you do not need to go through the registration procedure. A detailed article about that can be read by clicking on the link.
Hola
Let's start with the popular Hola VPN extension among users (it's really popular since it has almost 9 million users). Install it in your browser from the Chrome Web Store. It is completely called Unlimited Free VPN - Hola.
The add-on is free, does not require registration, and there are no traffic restrictions either.
After installation, go to the blocked site and click on the extension icon in the upper right corner of the browser - a gray light. In the menu that opens, press the power button.
After that, select the server in which country you would like to connect. Click on the arrow next to the flag and select UK for example.
A new tab will open like this. Close it and return to the blocked site. Refresh your browser page - either click on the circular arrow to the left of the address bar, or press F5. The site should now be accessible.
If you need to change the language in an extension, click on the three horizontal bars in the extension window. Then click on the first line in the menu that opens and select from the list suitable language... You can close the menu by clicking on the cross.
To turn off Hola VPN, click on the shutdown button in its window.
Another completely free VPN extension for Chrome is friGate. Its peculiarity is that it will work only on those sites that are indicated in the corresponding list. The developers have made an approximate list of frequently visited blocked sites. But if the site you need is not in the global list, and access to it is denied, the user can create his own list and add the necessary site addresses to it.
So, you went to a page on the Internet, and it is blocked, although friGate in Chrome is enabled and working. So, you need to add given address to your own extension list via settings.
Click on right click on the extension icon and select from the Options menu.
After that, a new tab will open. In the section "Setting up the list of sites" there will be a folder "friGate", in which you can see on which sites this add-on will be enabled. Our address in this list no, so we create our own list.
In the field provided, enter a name and click "Add List".
Now you need to go to the created folder - click on its name.
A little below, all addresses added to the list will be shown. The green enable button opposite the site means that friGate will work when you go to the specified address.
When you add the desired address to the list, you can go back to viewing the blocked site - access should appear.
On the browser page, where friGate will be enabled, there will be a small extension window in the upper right, where you can see which country you are visiting from. Create your own lists and visit your favorite sites on the Internet without any restrictions.
Consider also a free VPN Hotspot Shield proxy. This add-on also has paid version, in it the user will have more countries to choose from, which servers can be connected to. But for general use, the free option is fine too. You do not need to register and the traffic is unlimited.
Open the blocked site and click on the extension icon - if it is red, then it does not work on this page. Then select "Continue as Free User".
Then click on the power button to connect to a server in another country.
The icon will turn green, which means that VPN mode is enabled on this page.
Hotspot Shield selects the default location. To change the country, click on this button.
Then select from the list which country server you want to connect to. If there is a lock opposite the flag, then the country is not available in the free version. By clicking on the "More" button, you can see the list in full.
Touch VPN
And the last VPN extension for Google Chrome, which I will talk about in this list, is Free Proxy to Unblock any sites | Touch VPN. It is very simple to work with it, it is free and is enabled only on blocked sites or on all that you visit (it all depends on how you set it up).
Go to the blocked page and wait for the message "Unable to access the site" appears. Then click on the extension's icon - if it is orange, then it is in a disabled state.
In the extension window in the "Browse" section, you can leave "All sites". Then Touch VPN will be enabled on all sites you browse. Or you can choose from the list the address of the site you want to go to. Then the extension will only work on this site.
After that, in the line below select your country and click the "Click to Connect" button.
When you connect to the server of the selected country, the extension icon will turn green and the page will load. To disable vPN work on this site, click in the "Click to Disconnect" extension window.
Of course, there are many more VPN extensions in Chrome that can be used to access a blocked site. From the ones reviewed in the article, I liked the friGate Light and Touch VPN extensions the most. If you used something else, you can write about these extensions in the comments.
Among all the existing methods of protecting their personal data, the most reliable and convenient for the end user is the use of various kinds of vpn services and extensions. Such a position of these tools on the market is explained by the ease of operation, the inability to track the real location of the user, as well as many other advantages of this technology.
Description of the mechanism of access to the network via VPN
When figuring out how to enable vpn in chrome, you should first decide on the mechanism of operation of this kind of tools. It is extremely simple and reliable, which explains the popularity of such anonymization tools among users. The user can access the Internet through closed networklocated abroad, which allows, on the one hand, to change the IP address to prevent identification, and on the other, to completely ignore the blocking of various sites.
IMPORTANT! The confidentiality of user data directly depends on the honesty of the used VPN service... In this regard, one should take the most responsible attitude to the selection of this important tool. Or you can pay for a server rental and run your own personal VPN, so as not to worry about the safety of the transmitted data!
Today, among the popular vpn extensions for chrome-based browsers, noteworthy are:
- TunnelBear;
- Hotspot Shield;
- Zen Mate;
- Browsec.
At the same time, there are a number of applications, the use of which, for various reasons, is not recommended. First of all, these are HolaVPN and the like, which trade user data, thereby violating the interests of consumers. But, similar cases sales that have received publicity are relatively few, and therefore, it is worth treating the services provided with a certain degree of doubt and not completely trusting such a connection.
Most Reliable VPN Plugins for Google Chrome
Considering free plugins for working with vpn, one cannot fail to note the popular Browsec extension, which boasts ease of configuration and encryption of the connection to the server.
TIP! Feature of this application lies in the complete absence of traffic limits, which allows you to avoid unavailability of the connection at the most crucial moment.
ZenMate can boast of similar functionality, which is also free, however, it has several disadvantages. Mainly, these are ubiquitous ads that are shown in the extension constantly and are very annoying with prolonged use of the application. But there are no serious restrictions on the amount of traffic transmitted.
The situation is different with the TunnelBear plugin, which boasts a pleasant design and the ability to choose a server from which the Internet will be accessed in the future. In addition, it should be noted that the connection speed is incredibly fast for this kind of tools. Unfortunately, these advantages are offset by very strict restrictions on the amount of data received using the service.
How to enable VPN in Chrome browser
In order to start the full use of any of the above tools, you will need to use standard store applications to download and install them. First of all, the user will need to click the Add to Chrome button on the extension page, and then wait until the installation is complete.
Further, the process of using and activating programs may vary. Some suggest just clicking on the corresponding icon, which will allow you to immediately start using vpn, while others require some time spent on choosing a server location and adjusting other settings for a future connection.
Every day the list of blocked sites is growing more and more. And it's good if these were only sites with malicious and dangerous content, but no, this list includes everyone's favorite torrent trackers, some social networks and other resources.
In order to resume their work, users have to resort to some tricks, for example, installing special VPN plugins directly into their Yandex Browser.
In short, a VPN is a special private network that allows you to ensure the anonymity of a user who is in global internet networks. At this moment, the real IP address, location, used OS, browser and other information are hidden.
Today I will tell you about the best free VPN networks for Yandex Browser.
Where to find them and how to install them
We've probably figured out the theoretical part, now let's move on directly to practice. VPN There are a lot of extensions that provide anonymity. Each of them have their own pros and cons. Therefore, we will analyze the most popular ones.
I will say right away that you can download and install them in two ways:
- From the Yandex Browser extension directory.
- Using the google chrome store. Both of these programs are built on the same engine, so extensions can be installed using both options.
Google Store
In order to open a Google add-on store, it is enough follow the link.
Yandex directory
Yandex Browser allows you to open the plugins directory in two ways:
Moving on to the selection and installation
When choosing VPN extensions, I will focus on the following metrics:
- Minimal complexity of installation and configuration.
- Free.
- Normal working speed. But here you need to understand that no one can guarantee you super-fast work, and for free.
So let's get started.
ZenMate
Perhaps one of the best plugins, showing more or less stable work, but with complex registration. At first I didn't even want to talk about him. But since we are talking about the effectiveness of VPN, I cannot pass it by.
Detailed installation procedure:
- Launch Yandex Browser and open the extensions directory (read above for how to do this).
- IN search string enter "ZenMate" and go inside the plugin (by clicking on it).
- In the upper corner, click the green "Add to ..." button and install.
- Upon completion of the procedure, a page with a button "Try all the same Limited" will automatically open, click on it. If the page does not open, click on the "blue shield" add-on icon located in the upper right corner. If you don't have such a button, what to do, I'll tell you below.
- A window will open with a choice of version, wait 9 seconds and click "Choose Limited".
- Complete a simple registration by filling in all the fields. Upon completion, additional advertising windows usually pop up, where you are offered something else to install, you can safely close them.
- Then you will be redirected to a new page, where you will be asked to confirm the entered email address by clicking "Send now".
- Go to your mailbox and follow the special link in the letter from ZenMate. This is how a letter and a link looks like.
- In order to enable VPN, you need to click on the “ZenMate” icon and turn it on by moving the slider to the “ON” position.
- Just in case, check the connection to VPN networks, you can do it. If your IP, location and other information has changed, it means that now you can visit various sites anonymously.
If you want to independently select the country that will be determined, you need to go to "Settings - Other country" and select the required geolocation.
The free period is valid for 7 days, after which you must purchase paid account or re-register to another mail (to receive free access with the same period).
If ZenMate does not have a Try Limited button
This can happen for a number of reasons, about which there is no point in talking, it is more important to be able to restore it.
For this you need:
Such is the clever way.
Browsec
Another popular VPN extension available for Yandex Browser. Its main advantage is the lack of registration, unlimited free access and easy customization... But its functions, if compared with ZenMate, are much smaller.
Installation instructions:
As I said earlier, the free version has a minimum of settings, the main of which is a change of location. You can select any country from the list by clicking on the "Change" button. 
DotVPN
Plugin provides complete anonymity on the network. Has a paid and free version. Both versions are working, the only difference is in the amount of functionality.
Before use, you must register, without any confirmation by mail. You just need to enter your mail, password and start using.
So, now let's talk about everything in more detail:
If necessary, VPN can be configured:
As for the speed, for DotVPN it stays stable around average.
Hotspot Shield
At the last stage, I installed myself a very interesting plugin from the Google Chrome store "Hotspot Shield" and was pleasantly surprised. As it turned out, he has quite a few pluses. Unlike previous VPN add-ons for Yandex Browser, the Hotspot Shield interface is fully translated into Russian. Of the advantages, I can highlight the great information content, the choice of the country, many settings. And all this is in the free version.
We start installation and configuration:
Quite good speed of work, I definitely recommend it!
Summing up
All the VPN extensions considered by me were personally checked by me in Yandex Browser, at the time of publication of the article, they were fully working.
They are installed directly on a computer, laptop in the browser itself. They work regardless of the operating system used.
They may not work as fast, but what do you want from the free version. Want more speed, features and stable work? - Purchase a paid subscription.
New plugins are constantly appearing in the Yandex Browser catalog, now, knowing how to download and install them, you can independently monitor the add-ons market and select something useful for yourself.

Users who actively use embedded in the browser VPN -tools, probably noticed the problem - conflict VPN -extensions. If you use extensions to unblock only certain sites on an ongoing basis, for example, a torrent tracker blocked in Russia "Rutrecker" or a search engine blocked in Ukraine Yandex, social networks "In contact with", "Classmates" etc.
Then you can see how such extensions fail after temporary operation of full-fledged VPN -extensions, those that are designed to unblock any kind of web resources. And the former can only be restored to work by reconnecting them. What can you do in such a situation so that you can use both types of VPN unblockers without any problems?
1. Disconnecting one of the VPNs
Many users simply forget that they have installed in their browser VPN to unblock individual sites. Such tools usually work imperceptibly, do not load the browser, and provide quite a tolerable speed for the sites they were created to unblock. Nevertheless, if the extension is intended to unblock even one resource, in the settings it will still be listed as such, which controls the proxy settings.
Any other included after it VPN-extension will intercept this setting, and the first extension will simply be disabled. It simply needs to be manually enabled later in the extensions section. Chrome.
In the extensions section, you can, in principle, control the operation of conflicting VPN-tools - turn off temporary, turn on permanent and vice versa.
2. Separate profile for each VPN
Control VPN-unlockers in the extensions section is not a very convenient solution from the point of view of usability. Users who don't want to bother with settings Chrome, can resort to the browser capabilities that are opened by the implementation of multi-profile in it. In the current profile Chrome can be made active, for example, a constantly used VPN -extension to unblock individual sites. And in another, auxiliary profile, activate a full VPN -extension for one-time tasks. Other profiles are created in the user management environment.
You must click.
Then choose an avatar and, if desired, change the default name. And finally, click.
A new browser profile window will open, which we can configure differently from the current profile. In particular, implement excellent VPN -tool.
Today I would like to touch on the topic of specialized browser extensions Google chrome.
It is hardly possible to surprise anyone with the blocking of certain Internet resources. However, any problem always gives rise to a corresponding solution. You probably know that there are specialized resources and applications that can effectively bypass various online bans. In this article, you will discover the best free VPN-extensions.
TunnelBear VPN
A fairly popular VPN service that successfully combines speed and excellent anonymity. In the arsenal of the expansion, there are 15 servers that hide your real location.
To start using TunnelBear, you need to download a special proprietary application on your PC and create your own personal account... After completing registration, you will be provided with 750 MB of traffic for a month. Not a lot, but better than nothing.
An excellent VPN, which, however, is not devoid of some paid services... Interestingly, the extension does not require you to complete the registration procedure. It is worth noting that free version the service has a limited set of servers. If you cannot do without a high-speed connection, then the paid expansion option will come to your aid.
A completely free VPN that gives you complete freedom in terms of traffic consumption. There are 15 different servers available for connection. Note that the extension is based on the principle of peer-to-peer service. This means that all devices connected to the system are involved in the traffic exchange process.
Another good VPN extension. The main disadvantage of Touch VPN is the small number of available servers (4 pieces). It is also worth noting that the speed of data exchange in the service directly depends on the number of users using your server at the moment.
To work with the service, you must go through a simple registration procedure. After the end of the authorization, you will become the happy owner of completely free VPN from unlimited traffic... Tell me, what else does an ordinary Internet user need to be happy? Key extension options include automatic activation secure connection when opening certain resources.
Runet blocking bypass
Recently I have been using this particular anonymizer. Lightweight, simple, free with no traffic restrictions. There is an opportunity to work in automatic mode by type clicked and forgot.
