Install from the Chrome Web Store
The extension connects with ProxTek, TekLan’s encrypted browser connection. It protects browsing inside your browser 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 your browser to a current version.
- Turn off any VPN built into the browser, 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 your browser.
-
Select the add button (it may say Add to Chrome), review the permissions and confirm.
-
Open the browser’s extensions menu 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 on the browser’s extensions page.
- Disable conflicting VPN, proxy or privacy extensions.
- Sign out, restart your browser and sign in again.
- Confirm your email address and password work by signing in to the client area in a private browsing window.
