Why does a VPN web browser extension say that "your admin has blocked this item"?

Since late 2024, the Safe Surfer for Windows app disables VPN web browser extensions by default to prevent protection evasion. If you need to use these, you can re-enable them.

Re-enable VPN web browser extensions



Open the Safe Surfer app (and enter the PIN if asked), then click the Settings cog icon at the upper-right corner.



Click the switch found next to Block VPN web browser extensions. Click the Yes button when asked. Once you've done this, you'll need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
