Connect Dostup.io in Chrome

Install the Dostup.io extension in Chrome on your computer, sign in and click Connect. Websites you open in Chrome will see a Russian IP address.

What you need

You need Google Chrome on a computer and a Dostup.io account. If you do not have an account yet, create one and confirm your email address. The extension shares your traffic allowance and device limit with your other Dostup.io connections.

A quick guide is also available in your dashboard: open Connection settings and click Chrome under Connect a Device.

Step 1. Install the extension

  1. In Chrome on your computer, open Dostup.io — Russian IP VPN in the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Click Add to Chrome, then confirm with Add extension.
  3. Open Chrome's Extensions menu next to the address bar and select Dostup.io. You can pin it to the toolbar for easy access.

For help with Chrome's installation controls, see Google's extension guide.

Step 2. Sign in

  1. In the extension, click Sign in. Dostup.io opens in a Chrome tab.
  2. Enter the email address you used to register with Dostup.io. Open the sign-in link from your email in the same Chrome browser profile.
  3. Return to the extension and check that it shows the correct account email.

The extension only works in Chrome. For other applications on your computer, set up the VPN using the guide for your device.

If it does not connect

The extension still asks you to sign in
Open the email sign-in link in the same Chrome profile where the extension is installed, then reopen the extension.
Another extension blocks the connection
Open chrome://extensions, turn off other VPN or proxy extensions, and try Connect again.

Disconnect the system VPN before connecting through the Chrome extension.
You have reached the device limit
Disconnect an unused device or review your connections in the dashboard.

If these steps do not help, email support@dostup.io with your Chrome version and the error text shown in the extension.
