DotVPN

Keeping your privacy untouched by anonymizing your Internet connection and unblocking restricted websites or video and audio streaming services are two of the most popular reasons for wanting to use a VPN on your computer.

That said, most VPN services come in the form of standalone applications that, once installed, offer a system-wide effect. If this fact does not perfectly fit your needs and you want something more versatile, then you could try installing a VPN service directly in your computer's web browser.

DotVPN is an effective add-on that can be installed on some of the most popular web browsers out there, namely Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera.

The add-on undergoes a simple and straightforward installation process, specific to each individual web browser. Once installed, it smoothly integrates itself with your browser's top toolbar, usually on the right side of the address bar.

Like is the case with most VPN services, in order to be able to take advantage of what they have to offer, you are required to create a new account and log-in using the designated username and password.

Regardless of which one of the previously-mentioned web browsers you are using, after logging in, you are greeted by the add-on's minimalist interface.

From the main menu, you can enable or disable the VPN, view for how long you have been using the service and change the server according to your desired location.

The Settings section offers you the possibility to activate the bandwidth saver, built-in ad-blocker and firewall. You can also take advantage of features like tracking protection or set up the app to automatically launch at system start-up.

DotVPN is an easy to use and unobtrusive add-on that enables you to take full advantage of what a VPN service has to offer directly from the comforts of your favorite web browser.
