Import your config or subscription and route only Chrome's traffic. Hovpn — a fast, elegant, secure proxy for your browser. Import a single config link (VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks) or an entire subscription URL, and route only your browser's traffic through your own server. Everything else on your computer is left untouched. FEATURES • One-tap connect with live status, a connection timer, and real-time latency • Import individual servers or full subscription URLs • Favorite, search, and sort servers by real latency (signal bars) • Rename and edit any server or subscription • Automatic reconnect if the connection drops, with desktop notifications • Beautiful light & dark themes that follow your system • No account, no tracking, no telemetry — your server list never leaves your device SUPPORTED PROTOCOLS VLESS (including Reality, XTLS, WebSocket, gRPC, XHTTP), VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks. ⚠ IMPORTANT — a one-time free helper is required For security, browsers cannot run a proxy engine on their own. Hovpn uses a small free helper app on your computer to do the actual connection. After installing this extension, download and run the Hovpn helper once from https://hovpn.vip — it takes a minute and needs no technical setup. Without the helper, the extension cannot connect. Hovpn is proxy-switching software that you control. It does not provide servers — you bring your own config link or subscription. hovpn.vip ## Rankings - #45,204 — Overall - #144 — subscriptions - #170 — subscription ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `proxy` - `storage` - `nativeMessaging` - `alarms` - `notifications` ## Safety - **Risk impact:** Moderate risk impact - **Risk likelihood:** High risk likelihood ### Analysis details - Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk. - This extension support email may not be valid > Some risk analysis details are omitted from this free response.
