The PrivadoVPN browser extension is the fastest way to stay private while using your Web browser. It routes your browser’s Internet traffic through a secure proxy, shielding your real IP address without encrypting your data. It’s ideal for people who want lightweight privacy protection without installing a full VPN app.
Unlike a full VPN client that covers all traffic on your device, the browser proxy affects only your Web browser activity. This makes it perfect for quick IP masking when you’re using public Wi-Fi, logging into personal accounts, or accessing region-restricted websites securely.
Note: PrivadoVPN browser extensions are available exclusively to Premium subscribers.
