Most extensions in this category function by altering how your browser communicates with websites or by masking your connection. They generally fall into three categories: CORS Unblock - Chrome Web Store

If you only want to unblock streaming media (like Netflix or Hulu) and don't need privacy/encryption, a Smart DNS is faster. It reroutes only the specific data that tells a website where you are located, rather than all your traffic.

Disclaimer: This extension is for privacy and accessing public content. It does not support bypassing legal restrictions or institution-specific security policies.

Unlike an extension that only affects your browser, a standalone VPN app encrypts your entire computer’s traffic. They are generally faster, more secure, and less likely to contain malware.
