User reviews
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.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change
as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
DotVPN: Fast & Private VPN is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this extension.
