Install from the Chrome Web Store
The extension connects with ProxTek, TekLan’s encrypted browser connection. It protects browsing inside Brave only, not other apps on the computer, and stops WebRTC from revealing your real IP address.
Current version: 4.1.0 · What the app does
Before you begin
- Update Brave to a current version.
- Turn off Brave VPN (Brave Firewall + VPN) if you use it, so only TekLan routes your browsing.
- Have your TekLan VPN email address and password ready.
- Disable any other VPN or proxy extension while testing TekLan.
Steps
-
Open the TekLan VPN listing in the Chrome Web Store in Brave.
-
Select Add to Brave, review the permissions and confirm with Add extension.
-
Select the puzzle-piece Extensions icon next to the address bar and pin TekLan VPN to the toolbar.
-
Open TekLan VPN, sign in with your TekLan VPN email address and password, choose a location and connect.
Check the connection
- The extension shows Connected with a green dot.
- Select Leak test on the Connect page. It should say No leaks found and show the location you chose.
- To keep a site off the VPN (or always on it), use Website rules.
If it does not connect
- Confirm TekLan VPN is enabled at brave://extensions.
- Make sure Brave VPN is disconnected.
- Disable conflicting VPN, proxy or privacy extensions.
- Sign out, restart Brave and sign in again.
- Confirm your email address and password work by signing in to the client area in a private browsing window.
