Not sure if it was just released today, but I got the email update about it just now. I’m pretty excited about this because I mostly just want VPN for web browsing, and the linux app kinda sucks.

    What’s the advantage of using the VPN via the browser extension instead of the VPN app (in my case, the MacOS app)?

      VPN can sometimes be unreliable. I’ve gotten disconnected from zoom meetings when using the zoom app and a system wide VPN. Also have lagged during online gaming. The extension could be useful if you are only looking to increase web browsing privacy, while keeping a better network connection for other programs.

          Ah, yeah I guess so. I don’t think that was available on the linux app which is the only one I used on a non-phone, so I didn’t think of that…
