VPN Extension
Browser-only VPN clients for quick Stripchat access.
Definition
A VPN extension is a browser add-on that proxies only browser traffic through the provider's encrypted network. It functions like a lightweight VPN client without installing system drivers.
Why it matters
- Zero admin rights: Works on locked-down machines (work laptops, school devices) where you cannot install apps.
- Instant switching: Change servers per-tab to compare Stripchat regions or test mobile vs desktop flows.
- Lower resource use: Consumes fewer CPU/RAM resources than full VPN clients, handy on older hardware.
Limitations
- Only protects browser tabs - other apps continue to use your real IP.
- Many extensions use HTTPS proxies rather than full tunneling; they may lack kill switches or DNS leak protection.
- Always pair with the desktop client when uploading ID documents or streaming outside the browser.
