Install from the Chrome Web Store
The extension connects with ProxTek, TekLan’s encrypted browser connection. It protects browsing inside Vivaldi 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 Vivaldi to a current version.
- Turn off Vivaldi’s built-in 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 Vivaldi.
-
Select Add to Chrome (Vivaldi installs Chrome extensions this way), review the permissions and confirm with Add extension.
-
Select the Extensions icon in the address bar and keep TekLan VPN visible in 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 vivaldi://extensions.
- Make sure Vivaldi’s own VPN is switched off.
- Disable conflicting VPN, proxy or privacy extensions.
- Sign out, restart Vivaldi and sign in again.
- Confirm your email address and password work by signing in to the client area in a private browsing window.
