Network-Layer Isolation Boundaries
A browser plugin intercepts HTTP and WebSocket requests exclusively inside its active window, leaving background messengers, download clients, and games exposed on your open home network channel. A full desktop or mobile client captures the network interface at the OS kernel level, guaranteeing port-wide protection and preventing direct network leaks.
What to Choose for Your Needs
- Use an extension for quick, one-off web page unblocking without CPU overhead
- Install a full client for online games, torrent networks, and complete system traffic isolation
- Disable WebRTC in your browser settings if you rely solely on browser proxy plugins
