It takes less than a minute. Pick where you want Browsec to run.

Browser extension

Add Browsec from the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, Opera Addons or Microsoft Edge Add-ons. Then click the Browsec icon in the browser toolbar and choose "Start VPN".

App for Windows, macOS and Linux

The Browsec desktop app encrypts everything your computer sends, not just the browser. It needs a Premium subscription.

Phone and tablet

Download the app from Google Play or App Store, then tap the switch at the bottom of the main screen. Your connection is protected right away. On Android you can also install the app from an APK file.

Android TV

Find Browsec in Google Play on the TV and install it. If Google Play cannot install it or the VPN fails to connect, download the APK from a direct link and install it by hand.

If none of that works

Read our Help Center or write to support@browsec.com. Every version of Browsec is also listed on our download page.

You can use Browsec Free right away, no registration, login, or ID required. Just install and connect.

An account is only needed if you want to upgrade to Premium for faster servers and more locations.

In many cases, yes. Browsec is designed to bypass blocks and restrictions, but in some heavily censored regions (such as China or Iran), connection reliability may vary.

We recommend trying to switch between different servers to find the best option in such cases.

Try these quick fixes:

• Switch to another country (closer servers usually provide faster speeds).
• Consider getting Premium. Premium servers have fewer users, so they work much faster - like paid highways. You can test it risk-free: we have a 7-day money-back guarantee.
• Check your internet connection without VPN.
• Restart the app or browser.
• If you're still experiencing problems, contact our support for personalized help.

Yes, you can use Browsec free plan as long as you want without any restrictions.
