The Proton VPN Browser Extension repository houses the code for an official browser extension that lets users quickly secure their web browsing traffic through ProtonVPN from within browsers like Firefox and Chrome without routing all system traffic. This extension provides users with a convenient way to encrypt and anonymize HTTP requests, hide IP addresses, and prevent tracking while browsing, acting independently of the full OS-level VPN clients. Because browser extensions are constrained by browser APIs, this extension focuses on securing in-browser connections, protecting privacy specifically within the browser context rather than across the entire operating system. Users can sign in with their Proton accounts, choose from available VPN locations, and connect or disconnect from the toolbar with a single click, making it practical for casual privacy protection or geo-unblocking content without installing native applications.

...It is designed for situations where a user has multiple network gateways or internet connections and wants to use several possible paths for one tunnel. The project can accept multiple local IP addresses and multiple remote IP addresses. This allows it to distribute tunneling across different routes instead of relying on only one connection. A common use case is connecting to a VPS through more than one internet link for better path flexibility. It is a low-level networking tool aimed at technical users who understand VPNs, UDP tunneling, and multi-path network setups.
