Install from the Chrome Web Store
The extension connects with ProxTek, TekLan’s encrypted browser connection. It protects browsing inside Opera 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 Opera or Opera GX to a current version.
- Turn off Opera’s built-in VPN so only TekLan routes your browsing: select the VPN badge in the address bar and switch it off, or open
opera://settings/vpn. - Have your TekLan VPN email address and password ready.
- Disable any other VPN or proxy extension while testing TekLan.
Steps
-
In Opera, open the TekLan VPN listing in the Chrome Web Store. If Opera asks to allow extensions from other stores, allow it.
-
Select Add to Opera, review the permissions and confirm the installation.
-
Open the cube-shaped Extensions menu next to the address bar, pin TekLan VPN, then sign in, 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 opera://extensions.
- Make sure Opera’s own VPN is switched off.
- Disable conflicting VPN, proxy or privacy extensions.
- Sign out, restart Opera and sign in again.
- Confirm your email address and password work by signing in to the client area in a private browsing window.
