User reviews
Pros
- The free version sometimes works reliably for watching content such as YouTube in 1080p.
- The VPN can bypass regional restrictions, including in Russia.
- The extension is easy to use and sometimes offers stable connections.
- It does not aggressively push premium plans even when servers are limited.
- Some users find it faster or smoother than the desktop version for certain tasks.
Cons
- Free version connection is time-limited (around 5-40 minutes) and then switches to a non-working 'automatic' server repeatedly.
- Frequent disconnections and unstable connections requiring reconnecting or reinstalling.
- Premium version features are often inaccessible or buggy even after purchase.
- Conflicts with other extensions can cause internet disconnections.
- Suspected malware warnings and suspicious behavior such as triggering CAPTCHA challenges frequently.

Ужасно. В бесплатной версии из любой локации работает минут 40, после переключается на automatic и перестаёт работать. Если попробовать переподключиться, через 10-15 секунд также самостоятельно подключается к automatic, и так до бесконечности. Подобным образом работает уже недели три. Боюсь представить, что происходит с подключением в платной версии, если уж бесплатную на рельсы поставить невозможно.

Годный впн иногда бывают сбои но не надолго и бывает что отваливается но это фиксится тем что нужно отключить впн во вкладке расширения и потом снова включить и работает

Den Stern gibt es, weil das Plugin keine Fehler verursacht. Ansonsten kann man zwar einen VPN auswählen, der auch funktioniert. Allerdings hat man keinen Zugriff auf Premium-Funktionen trotz laufendem Abo.
