User reviews

It either says there is no internet connection, or it just infinitely tries to connect to the gateway. The full-fledged NordLayer app works fine without any issues. 1* rating because it doesn't work. I'd really like to get it to work: I was hoping for this to allow me to not have to route anything but browser traffic through the VPN. I was also told by a coworker that the extension would allow me to even pick individual (read: work) sites that would be the only ones routed through VPN. I didn't see an option for that unless he meant restricting site access via Chrome for the extension.
