Just wondering what the difference is between the App and the Chrome Extension and if I really need both?
The app runs and connects on start up so I’m wondering if there’s any need for me to have the Chrome Extension? Also the Chrome Extension seems to bug out more often and it’s currently not even connecting.
Ideally I want to uninstall the Chrome Extension and just have the App running - will this have any impact?
The app routes all of your internet traffic through the VPN.
The chrome extension routes only Chrome internet traffic through the VPN, so if you are running anything else that uses data (other browsers, online games, etc), it will be unencrypted.
No need for the chrome extension if you are running the app.
I had the same question as you. I found I did not need the extension so now I only run the app. This keeps all my laptop data in the VPN including everything from any browser I am running at the time.
