VPN.AC SecureProxy is a browser extension available to existing customers of vpn.ac. This add-on is a secure web tunneling tool that provides the user with the ability to surf the web securely and privately without a standard VPN connection.

Summary

Important note: this addon is meant to be used by existing customers of vpn.ac. It is a paid service, don't try it if you aren't already a customer. It requires a paid, active account.

SecureProxy browser extension provides with the ability to surf the web securely and privately without connecting to a "classic" VPN. It works like a browser proxy and all browsing traffic is encrypted through a secure tunnel.

Stealth against Firewall/DPI: when inspected using DPI technologies, the connections using the SecureProxy don't trigger alerts like a classic VPN would usually do.

No need to tunnel all your PC traffic through the VPN: you can have the browser tunneling the traffic through our servers and all other traffic sent via your regular ISP connection. You can call it "a VPN inside the browser".
