🌐Online China VPN in your browser: no client install (Chrome, 2026)
People searching for a "web VPN" or "online VPN" usually mean: no client install, just open the browser and go. The RiftVPN Chrome extension is that option — install it from the Chrome Web Store, sign in with a free account, and Chinese sites in the browser take the China route with unlimited data. It is especially handy on machines where installing software is awkward: work computers, library PCs, Chromebooks.

FAQ
Is there a pure web-page VPN with nothing to install?
Browsers deliberately prevent a web page from changing your network routing, so services promising "open this page and you are routed" are either proxy redirects or a security risk. A browser extension is the closest legitimate thing to a web VPN: one install, then everything happens inside the browser.
Does it work on a Chromebook or a work computer?
Yes. Chromebooks support Chrome extensions natively, and on work or public machines you only need to sign in to Chrome and add the extension — no administrator rights or client install.
How does the extension differ from the apps?
The extension accelerates browser traffic only, which suits web video and music. The mobile and Mac apps cover every app on the device. Both share one account and the same free plan.
