VPN proxy extensions for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox
Improve your everyday browsing experience with NordVPN.
What is a VPN proxy extension and how does it work?
A VPN proxy extension (or VPN browser extension) is a lightweight version of a VPN app. VPN extensions keep online spies at bay by encrypting your browser’s traffic and changing your IP address. The NordVPN extension also improves your browsing experience with useful features like Threat Protection (availability varies by plan). This feature blocks ads and dangerous links.
Your browsing is safer with NordVPN extensions
Not all websites are configured to provide a secure connection (HTTPS), which encrypts traffic. When you connect to a site that isn’t secure, you become an easy target for online spying.
Secure your connection with a VPN proxy extension
Privacy is easy with the right browser proxy extension. Start a proxy session with a click and boost your security online.

Connect
Log in to your account and connect to the NordVPN proxy server.
Upgrade your browser with a VPN proxy extension
Browse safely at all times. With the NordVPN browser extension, TLS encryption protects your data from prying eyes when you visit unsecured HTTP websites or browse on Wi-Fi networks.
Usually, you reveal your IP address to a website you visit. Not anymore. When connected to a NordVPN server, you browse the internet under the cover of its IP addresses. Your true online identity remains hidden.
Chrome, Edge, and Firefox use the WebRTC protocol, which is prone to leaks. Even if you’re using a VPN, it can reveal your IP. NordVPN fixes this by disabling the WebRTC protocol – you’re safe both with the app and the extensions.
Browse with confidence. NordVPN’s Threat Protection security feature blocks intrusive ads and protects you from dangerous links to malicious websites. It’s a digital watchdog inside your browser.
Specify which websites see your real virtual location and which ones get routed through a VPN server with split tunneling. No need to switch the VPN off for specific websites — secure only what matters.
One-click security
You can connect to a NordVPN server with one click. Or go the extra mile — select the country you want to connect to with two clicks.
A special algorithm will find the best server for you depending on distance, load, and other parameters.
To prevent location-based content from being blocked, our new feature changes the browser’s location and timezone to match the VPN server you’re connected to.
You can start using NordVPN’s proxy browser extension in a single click or choose from 118 countries to connect to.
Why do you need a VPN proxy extension?
If you’re looking for lightweight, super-fast, and customizable security for your browser, the NordVPN proxy extension is the way to go. It’s a great choice for when you need some extra protection without the powerful security features the NordVPN native app offers.
Don’t worry — the NordVPN proxy extension won’t interfere with your existing online habits. The extension only protects your browsing activities, letting other apps and services use your real IP to access local content.
What is the difference between a proxy extension and a VPN?
The proxy extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox is a lightweight version of the NordVPN app. With a NordVPN subscription, you’ll get access to all the extensions and apps (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and Linux) and secure up to ten devices at the same time.
