Hi can i use wireguar/openvpn only for 2 portable applications? for example a portable firefox and anther portable application for example chrome or or have I to install wireguard or openvpn installer? I would like only to have few applications that can use vpn just on demand , without installing any installer thanks
You can install a extension (plugin) like this : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...st-vpn/fdcgdnkidjaadafnichfpabhfomcebme?hl=en
That's not the way it works. With a VPN, you're required to use a TAP adapter. It's another network adapter, created by the VPN, through which ALL traffic is funneled. There is really only one way to use a VPN on-demand. That requires using a VPN that offers split-tunneling. In that setting you could exclude the programs you do not want. There is also the option to use a socks5 proxy, which is separate from a VPN and does not create the adapter. If you use that you could set up each application you want to use that socks5 address.
hi well , so the best way is to have another operation system like linux with vps (tap adapter) installed and use some applications? many linux distros do need few GB on a ssd thanks
Well, no. The best way accomplish what you're wanting to do is by using either a VPN with split-tunneling or a socks5 proxy server and per-app-configuration. Any service that offers one, or both, would be what you want.
hi ok , well i got it do you use a VPN with split-tunneling ? thanks Hi do you use with a portable chrome version? thanks
I do not. I have no reason to want to exclude anything from the VPN. I'm using Mullvad, which does offer split-tunneling. But I don't use that feature.
hi but do you trust of it? i mean for emails and sensible data ? I use browser and email client without any extension thanks
@n8chavez Totally agree with you if you want to be "full" VPN (no dns leaks, strong firewall, TAP adaptater, split tunneling, kill switch.....) @mantra I just answer to your question, but no i use IVPN on Debian since almost ten years now and i never used any VPN extensions.
@n8chavez @Rules ok ,is mullvad very fast? and are there some free vpn fast too (just to give a try)? thanks
Normally Mullvad and IVPN are fast Uhm, never tested some free VPN (sometimes your personal data are sold). You should Trial a paid one like https://windscribe.com/knowledge-base/articles/can-i-get-a-pro-trial-for-free I will not recommand express vpn (sold to Kape Technologie with bad past activity) This one also https://www.cyberghostvpn.com/en_US/vpn-free-trial seems ok There are many other with trial periods.
