Hola: extension for Yandex browser. Free VPNs for Yandex Browser: only personal experience

Every day the list of blocked sites grows more and more. And it would be good if these were only sites with malicious and dangerous content, but no, this list also includes everyone’s favorite torrent trackers, some social networks and other resources.

In order to resume their work, users have to resort to some tricks, for example, installing special VPN plugins directly into their Yandex Browser.

In short, a VPN is a special private network that allows you to ensure the anonymity of a user on the global Internet. At this moment, the real IP address, location, OS used, browser and other information are hidden.

Today I will tell you about the best free VPN networks for Yandex Browser.

Where to find them and how to install

We've probably figured out the theoretical part, now let's move directly to practice. There are a lot of VPN extensions that provide anonymity. Each of them has its own pros and cons. Therefore, we will analyze the most popular ones.

I’ll say right away that you can download and install them in two ways:

1. From the Yandex Browser extensions catalog.
2. Using the Google Chrome store. Both of these programs are created on the same engine, so extensions can be installed using both options.

Store from Google

To open the Google add-on store, all you need to do is follow the link.

Yandex catalog

Yandex Browser allows you to open the plugin directory in two ways:

Let's move on to selection and installation

When choosing VPN extensions, I will focus on the following indicators:

1. Minimal installation and configuration complexity.
2. Free.
3. Normal operating speed. But here you need to understand that no one guarantees you super-fast work, and for free.

So let's get started.

ZenMate

Perhaps one of the best plugins, showing more or less stable operation, but with complex registration. At first I didn't even want to talk about him. But since we’re talking about the effectiveness of VPN, I can’t ignore it.

Detailed installation procedure:

1. Launch Yandex Browser and open the extensions directory (read how to do this above).
2. Enter “ZenMate” into the search bar and go inside the plugin (by clicking on it).
   
   
3. In the upper corner, click the green “Add to...” button and install.
   
   
4. Upon completion of the procedure, a page with the “Try Limited” button will automatically open, click on it. If the page does not open, click on the “blue shield” add-on icon, which is located in the upper right corner. If you don’t have such a button, I’ll tell you what to do below.
   
   
5. A window will open with a choice of version, wait 9 seconds and click “Select Limited”.
6. Complete a simple registration by filling out all fields. Upon completion, additional advertising windows usually pop up asking you to install something else; you can safely close them.
   
   
7. Next, you will be redirected to a new page where you will be asked to confirm the entered email address by clicking “Submit Now”.
   
   
8. Go to your mailbox and follow the special link in the letter from “ZenMate”. This is what the letter and link look like.
   
   
9. In order to enable VPN, you need to click on the “ZenMate” icon and turn it on by moving the slider to the “ON” position.
10. Just in case, check your connection to the VPN network, this can be done. If your IP, location and other information have changed, then you can now anonymously visit various sites.

If you want to independently select the country that will be determined, you need to go to “Settings – Other Country” and select the required geolocation.

The free period is valid for 7 days, after which you need to purchase a paid account or register again with a different email (to receive free access for the same period).

If ZenMate does not have a “Try Limited” button

This can happen for a number of reasons that there is no point in talking about; it is more important to be able to restore it.

To do this you need:

This is such a clever way.

Browsec

Another popular VPN extension available for Yandex Browser. Its main advantage is the lack of registration, unlimited free access and easy setup. But compared to ZenMate, it has much fewer functions.

Installation instructions:

As I said earlier, the free version has a minimum of settings, the main of which is changing the location. You can select any country from the list by clicking on the “Change” button.

DotVPN

A plugin that provides complete anonymity on the Internet. It has a paid and free version. Both versions are working, the only difference is in the amount of functionality.

Before use, you must register, without any confirmation by mail. You just need to enter your email, password and start using it.

So, now let's talk about everything in more detail:

If necessary, VPN can be configured:

As for the speed, DotVPN is stable around average.

Hotspot Shield

At the last stage, I installed a very interesting plugin from the Google Chrome store “Hotspot Shield” and was pleasantly surprised. As it turned out, he has quite a few advantages. Unlike previous VPN add-ons for Yandex Browser, the Hotspot Shield interface is completely translated into Russian. Among the advantages, I can highlight the great information content, choice of country, and many settings. And all this is in the free version.

Let's begin installation and configuration:

Very good speed of work, I definitely recommend it!

Let's sum it up

All VPN extensions reviewed were tested by me personally in Yandex Browser; at the time of publication of the article, they were fully working.

They are installed directly on a computer or laptop in the browser itself. They work regardless of the operating system used.

They may not work as fast, but what do you want from the free version. Want more speed, features and stability? – Buy a paid subscription.

New plugins are constantly appearing in the Yandex Browser catalogue, and now, knowing how to download and install them, you can independently monitor the add-on market and select something useful for yourself.

If you want to surf the Internet anonymously, then you need to download the VPN anonymizer for your Yandex Browser. It's free.

There are some reasons why certain sites and web services may not be available to certain users. Recently, the same Roskomnadzor has been blocking many resources. System administrators at work also block the most common entertainment services and social networks. Due to this, users have to look for a good VPN or anonymizer for the same. It is for this reason that all sorts of proxy services have recently gained wide popularity, making the presence of a specific user on the network anonymous.

You have the opportunity to use several methods at once to hide your own history of visiting certain resources. And also to open access to almost all Internet services. We will talk about them below.

How to choose a VPN or anonymizer for Yandex Browser

The application in question has a special mode, the use of which can be used to resolve issues with gaining access to blocked sites. This is the well-known Turbo mode. With its help, users can reduce the response time of a remote service, as well as speed up the loading time of sites.

The most interesting browser extensions for such an application, in our opinion, are:

• Browsec;
• friGate;

The first example is a fairly functional option with which you can bypass many blocks on the Internet. If you prefer to use free dialing, addresses from the USA, Netherlands, England and Singapore can be provided here. You don't have to make any detailed settings. You can use the service immediately after installation.

The second extension from this list works quite interestingly. It has its own database in which blocked sites are entered. And it starts working immediately when you try to connect to this resource. One of the additional options is the ability to independently select the area from which you supposedly access the Internet.

To use the third service, you will have to go through the registration procedure. But in return they give you a trial version of premium access. These are the VPNs for Yandex Browser you can safely use. If you recommend an anonymizer, then consider options for working with:

There are similar anonymizers for both and other browsers. And so that you don’t have to choose the best one yourself, we send you to the official page, where various options are collected, and you can see what is currently working more effectively. So you can choose.

The popularity of extensions for bypassing website blocking has grown sharply since the anti-piracy law came into effect. However, even before him, the problem of blocked sites was relevant, since users every now and then encountered various types of bans on visiting sites. This includes blocking of sites by system administrators, and a ban imposed by site creators (for example, to specific countries).

The Browsec browser extension is a convenient way to bypass blocking. In a couple of clicks, the user gets the opportunity to replace his real IP address with a false one, and thus visit the desired site. But, unlike many other browser anonymizers, Browsec has an additional advantage, which makes the extension especially popular and in demand.

Nowadays you can find quite a large number of anonymizer extensions for browsers. This method is more convenient than using websites or programs with VPN in that you can enable and disable bypass in a couple of clicks.

Browsec is one of the popular add-ons because, in addition to its main function, it can also encrypt traffic. This is primarily beneficial for those who use website blocking bypass in the workplace. This extension has two advantages: the system administrator cannot track the sites you visit, and you do not need administrator rights in Windows to use the extension.

The plugin works perfectly in all popular browsers, so it can be installed in any browser based on the Chromium engine and in Mozilla Firefox. We will look at the process of installing and using Browsec using Yandex Browser as an example.

Installing Browsec

First of all, install the extension in your browser. You can download it from the official Browsec website, or from a website with browser extensions:

Installation in Yandex.Browser

In the pop-up window, click " Install extension»

After successful installation, a notification will appear in the extensions panel, and a new tab will open with information about the extension.

Please note that immediately after installation Browsec is activated! If you don't need the extension yet, don't forget to disable it so you don't have to load all pages through a proxy. Not only will this slow down your web page loading speed, but it will also require you to re-enter your login details on different sites.

Using Browsec

After installation, you can already start using the extension. Its icon in Yandex Browser will be located here:

Let's try to access any blocked site. As mentioned earlier, immediately after installation the extension already works. This can be determined by the icon on the top bar in the browser: if it is green, then the extension is working, and if it is gray, the extension is disabled.

Enabling/disabling the add-on is simple: click on the icon and select ON to enable and OFF to disable.

Let's try to go to the most famous of the blocked sites - RuTracker. Typically we see something like this from your ISP:

Turn on Browsec and visit the site again:

Don’t forget to turn off the extension after visiting a blocked site.

Country selection

You can also select IPs from different countries to visit sites. The default is the Netherlands, but if you click on the " Change", then you can select the country you need:

Unfortunately, only 4 servers are available in free mode, but for most users this, as they say, is enough. Moreover, the two most popular servers (USA and UK) are present, which is usually plenty.

Browsec is an excellent extension for many popular browsers that will help you get behind an online resource that is blocked for various reasons. This lightweight add-on does not require detailed configuration and can be turned on/off in 2 clicks. The modest selection of servers in free mode does not cloud the picture too much, since there is often no need to change servers. And the encryption of outgoing and incoming traffic makes Browsec popular among many people.

Regional and other restrictions on access to certain resources can be bypassed not only with the help of individual programs, but also with extensions that are built into popular browsers.

One such extension is Hola Unblocker. It gives access to any page on the World Wide Web. Moreover, not only browsing websites is allowed, but also downloading any video and other content through a BitTorrent client. The enabled extension does not in any way affect the loading speed of pages and files, but on the contrary, it increases it due to caching. Let's look at how and where to download the Hola plugin using the example of several browsers.

For Google Chrome

If Google Chrome is your default browser, install Hola on it. To do this, you will need to go to the extension store. In addition, it is called “Improved Internet with Hola”. Therefore, you can safely enter this phrase. Click on “Install” and confirm by clicking on “Add”.

For Mozilla Firefox

To install the extension on Mozilla Firefox, you need to go to the official resource of the program and download it from there for free.

2.Choose your Hall plan: free or paid. In the first option, you will become part of the network. The Free version is more than enough, in fact, so you can safely choose it.

4.Confirm the installation of Hola.

Opera and Yandex Browser

There is one add-on store for Yandex Browser and Opera. In it, the extension is called Hola Better Internet.

Go to: https://addons.opera.com/ru/extensions/details/hola-better-internet/?display=en. Or open a store yourself and search for the Hola plugin.

Click on the button on the right “Install in Yandex Browser” and confirm adding the extension.

How to use Hola?

Once you have downloaded Hola, you can immediately familiarize yourself with its interface.

1.In the upper right corner of the browser there will be a flame icon on the panel. Click on it and you will be taken to the Hola add-on menu.

2.Click on the icon with three lines and select the “Login” button.

Since you most likely do not have a Hola Unblocker account, you will need to register. The situation is simplified if you have a Google or Facebook account. Registration, however, will also not take much time.

3.Open a site that is inaccessible to you and click on the same icon. You will be offered a country through whose IP address you will be able to enter the blocked site.

4.Immediately after this, the Internet page will automatically reload. In the extension menu, check whether changing the IP address worked.

The addition is very useful: now you will not encounter restrictions in accessing the necessary sites and their content. Hola is downloaded for Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome and other popular browsers, so it doesn’t matter which browser you use. Moreover, the developers did not greatly limit the free version. The user who downloads it receives almost the full range of functions.

The extension is compatible with various OS (Windows, Mac) and even mobile platforms, so if necessary, you can use it on all devices simultaneously.

Hello everyone, the article will be useful to all users of various torrent trackers, as well as those who cannot access their usual favorite sites due to the ban.

VPN is a program that connects you to the Internet through a special additional server. With its help, you can maintain complete anonymity on the Internet, hiding your IP address and other data. They have gained particular relevance recently, since our beloved Internet has become home to many restrictions and prohibitions that carry virtually no meaning. Downloading this extension is very easy, so let's figure it out.

detailed instructions

• Activate the Yandex shortcut on the desktop.

• In the upper right corner we find an image of 3 stripes.

• By clicking on it, look for the Additions line in the drop-down list.

• Next, go to the Catalog of extensions for Yandex browser.

• In the program search column we write the name Browsec. This is the addition.

• Click on Add to Yandex.Browser.

• We confirm the action by activating the Install extension button.

• To the right of the search bar there is a Browsec shortcut, which will allow you to enable VPN in Yandex.

• By clicking on the shortcut, look at the bottom of the window and move the slider from the off position to the on position.

• In the countries window, click on the Change button.

• Select United States.

Additional Information

Free VPN isn't just limited to Browsec. The fact is that it is one of the most reliable and tested among experienced Internet users. As an alternative, we can recommend Hola for Yandex browser. The operating principle of the presented program is identical to that used in Browsec. Both options are distributed online completely free of charge.

With Hola (analog), you can easily access various resources with multimedia content, and you can easily listen to music, watch videos and much more. You can also easily change the countries from which your connection will be streamed. For stability, users choose the USA. If any thread does not allow you to access the desired site, you can click the No, fix it button, which will instantly switch you to another country and send the request directly to the developers.

A constant tracking system helps highlight the top most visited sites in the world. You can go to popular resources with just 1 click and discover something new! If you are not interested in these options, simply delete them by placing the shortcuts in the trash. Everything is done very simply and conveniently. To do this, it is enough to know which browser extension to choose and how to install it.

This software is distributed completely free of charge, just like regular antiviruses. There is no specific law regarding VPN - there are no systems, so the answer may seem twofold. In any case, the path from legal use to prison time is limited solely by the user's imagination. If you are just going to visit your favorite site that has been blocked, there is nothing wrong with that. Moreover, they won’t even be able to track you.

There are a number of countries (for example, Iraq and Iran) where VPN is under government ban. There you can get a real prison sentence for such cases. As for our country, you can use the system without any problems, but what you look for there remains solely on your conscience and responsibility.

If you have any questions or difficulties, write to me about it in the comments, we will definitely discuss it.
