Install TekLan VPN in Arc

Arc, on Mac and Windows, is built on Chromium and installs Chrome Web Store extensions, including TekLan VPN.

TekLan extension for Arc

Install from the Chrome Web Store

The extension protects browsing inside Arc. It does not route traffic from other applications on the computer.

The current Chrome Web Store version is 3.1.0.

Before you begin

  • Update Arc to a current version.
  • Have your TekLan VPN email address and password ready.
  • Disable any other VPN or proxy extension while testing TekLan.

Complete the setup

  1. Open the TekLan VPN listing in the Chrome Web Store in Arc.
  2. Select Add to Chrome, review the permissions and confirm with Add extension.
  3. Open Arc’s Extensions menu (the puzzle-piece icon at the top of the sidebar) and pin TekLan VPN.
  4. Open TekLan VPN, sign in with your TekLan VPN email address and password, choose a location and connect.

Good to know

  • TekLan VPN protects every space and profile in Arc where the extension is enabled.
  • TekLan VPN does not run in private windows. Use a normal window for VPN browsing.

Check the connection

  1. Open the TekLan extension and confirm it reports an active connection.
  2. Reload the current tab.
  3. Open a public IP-checking website in Arc and confirm the address changes.
  4. Remember that the extension protects Arc traffic only.

If it does not connect

  • Confirm TekLan VPN is enabled at arc://extensions.
  • Disable conflicting VPN, proxy or privacy extensions.
  • Sign out, restart Arc and sign in again.
  • Confirm your email address and password work by signing in to the client area in a private browsing window.
