Using the same account between the Chrome extension and the iOS app is a convenient touch. It makes the service feel more connected rather than treating each platform as a completely separate product. The multiple sign-in options also make getting started easier.

What I like most is the balance between functionality and simplicity. There are enough options to make the extension useful, but the interface doesn’t feel overloaded. Even things like choosing a location are presented in a way that’s easy to understand at a glance.

What I like about FollowNet is that it doesn’t make the basic VPN process complicated. You can open the extension, choose a server, check the ping and connect. The Kill Switch and built-in ad blocking are also useful additions, especially if you want more than just a basic connection button.

I wanted something that was easy to manage directly from Chrome, and FollowNet has a simple setup. The one-click connection is especially convenient for quick browsing sessions.

The experience is straightforward from installation through connection, and I like that the extension focuses on making the everyday interactions simple. There are additional controls available when you need them, but they don’t get in the way of the basic experience.

The extension has a good range of features without making the interface difficult to understand. I like being able to choose between different regional servers and see the ping before connecting. The usage statistics are also useful for keeping track of sessions and traffic.

One thing I appreciate is having the ad blocker built into the extension. It’s convenient not having to rely on a separate extension for that.

I like being able to see my usage and session information. It’s not something every VPN extension gives you, so I found that useful.

Good overall experience. I mainly wanted an easy way to manage a VPN connection directly from Chrome, and the one-click setup makes that pretty convenient.

So far I like how lightweight the extension feels. It gives you the main VPN features without making the interface unnecessarily complicated.

FollowNet is convenient for anyone who wants to manage their VPN connection directly from Chrome. The toolbar connection makes it quick to turn protection on or off, while the Kill Switch adds another layer of protection if the connection gets interrupted. I also like that ad blocking is built into the extension.
