User reviews

Users initially appreciated DotVPN as a free option with several free servers and reasonable functionality. However, recent updates have drastically reduced free server options to a single server with poor speed and connectivity. The inability to select regions or servers and frequent failures to connect have frustrated many, leading to low ratings and calls to revert updates. While some still find it partially functional, the overall sentiment is that the extension has become unreliable and slow, limiting its usefulness.
Pros
  • Some users found it to be one of the few VPNs that worked for them.
  • Previously had multiple free servers allowing better connection choices.
  • Some users reported it was working or worked well before recent updates.
  • It's a free product, so users acknowledge limitations with cost.
  • Some users praised the extension before updates that degraded performance.
Cons
  • Recent updates reduced the available free servers to one, which often does not work properly.
  • Significant slowdown in speed, making the VPN almost unusable for streaming or browsing.
  • The update removed the ability to select servers or regions, causing connectivity issues with some services.
  • Some users report the VPN does not connect or work at all after updates.
  • Limited free usage time (e.g., 1 hour) which reduces usefulness.

Было несколько бесплатных серверов, можно было выбрать что-то работающее. Сейчас сервер один и с никакой скоростью. Поставил две звезды, а не одну, в память о том, что когда-то сервисом можно было пользоваться :о)

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

DotVPN: Fast & Private VPN requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
