Increasingly, users want to protect their data on the Internet, one of better ways remain incognito - use the anonymizer. The friGate extension for Yandex browser helps bypass blocking sites, protects against leaving traces on the network and prevents your own location from being calculated. Today there are many similar plugins: Hola, ZenMate, Browsec, but the developers claim that friGate is a more advanced analogue of the listed services. How true the statement is, we have to find out in the article.

The popularity of the application is due to the demand for all functions:

  • Encryption. During data transfer between the client (our browser) and the server part, data is encrypted. Even if some packets are intercepted by attackers, they will not be able to access the data;
  • Supports flexible settings. The plugin comes in 2 main versions: friGate CDN for Yandex browser is suitable for users with minimum requirements, and friGate3 Proxy Helper is for advanced users. In the extended version, you can manage the connection: change IP, access country;
  • Ability to change IP address. This ability is useful for hiding the real address, through the extension you can go to a blocked site or resource. The final resource will receive only the proxy address, by which it will not be able to determine anything specific;
  • Increasing page loading speed. When the proxy server is located near the user (relatively), it is possible to speed up the Internet. To increase the speed, data is preloaded and compressed on the server, so it is possible to reduce the amount of data transferred;
  • Opening access to any site. You can use some sites only in a certain region, but with the help of a proxy, unblocking access becomes an easy task.

Advantages and disadvantages of the friGate extension

Advantages:

  • Setting for each site. You can easily set up data redirection in specific country. When you change the tab, the addon adjusts itself to the resource by changing the access parameters;
  • The developers of friGate for Yandex browser went by providing dedicated servers for proxies. VDS servers provide high connection speed and prevent data leaks;
  • Ability to unlock any resource;
  • Tracking protection.

What is the difference between VPN friGate CDN for Yandex browser and friGate3?

There are several key differences:

  • Site lists. In the Light version (CDN), the standard list is already loaded, but in the version for advanced users, you have to compile the list yourself. Manual setting provides more flexible personalization, but wastes time;
  • Ease of use. CDN extension is ready to go, to enable the friGate plugin for Yandex browser just click on the shortcut. FreeGate3 requires preliminary preparation, but then turns on in 2 clicks, almost as easy as the lite version;
  • Pop-up control. After clicking on the icon in light mode, the extension only turns on or off. In the extended version, it is possible to change the settings: for which sites the proxy will be used, the history of using the add-on. For advanced users, it will be useful to be able to view all the resources accessed by the site during loading, the list is expanded by clicking the cross next to the name.

How to install the friGate Light add-on for Yandex browser?

The installation process is the same as other plugins from the Google store:


FriGate is also suitable for Yandex browser on Android. Installed and used on the Android platform in the same way as on a PC.

Mobile phone installation:

What is special about friGate for Yandex browser for Ukraine?

In fact, the only difference between friGate ua for Yandex browser comes down to a specially compiled list for the specified region. Access to many sites with roots in Russia is blocked in the country: Yandex, Mail, VK, Kinopoisk, Kaspersky, etc. Access parameters for the listed and other resources are immediately set in the plugin.

The addon was created due to the difficulty of setting up the extension for the Ukrainian region. Sites receive content from various sources, which leads to the need for long-term tracking of all blocked addresses and adding them to the extension. Otherwise, some of the functions will not work, for example, photos are not displayed in VK, and games crash when loading.

How to set up FreeGate for Yandex Explorer?

Adding to the list

The key and most important setting in the addon is listing. You will have to set the settings when adding friGate3 to the browser or if you want to make changes to the standard list.

The principle of accessing lists is somewhat different, as in light versions:

Other sites can be configured in a similar way by adding or removing them from the list.

In freegate3 personalization is somewhat different:


Additionally, you can set the preferred country whose proxy will be used, set a space after the domain name and write the domain in square brackets, for example, , , , the final form of the string is - *.telegram.org.

Other FreeGate Light settings

In the CDN version, you can set other settings:


If you plan to use the "anonymity" function, the developers strongly recommend using public DNS servers. To set the DNS address, you will have to slightly change the connection settings.

DNS replacement:

Other parameters friGate3

As far as FreeGate3 personalization is concerned, the navigation here is slightly different, but the functions remain similar:


Why does friGate not work in Yandex browser?

Almost always, the plugin stops working due to incorrectly set settings or a lack of understanding of the principles of interaction with the extension.

Potential user issues:

  • Doesn't work on a specific site. Most likely the resource is not added to the list, so the add-on is not activated. We have already considered how to add a site to the list (see above);
  • The web resource is loading, but some of the functions do not work. Mostly the player does not turn on, errors appear instead of pictures, animations are disabled. To set up the resource, you need to add a site with its subdomains to the list, it looks like this: *.mail.ru, with such an entry, the plugin is activated when accessing all addresses of the type: game.mail.ru, news.mail.ru and the like. Sometimes sites receive data from other sources during page load, they should also be added to the list in this way (for example, friGate3):

It is very rare that the problem is in a software failure, then it is better to reinstall the plugin.

friGate extension analogues

The closest analogue of friGate for Yandex browser is Hola VPN. It works on a similar principle, automatically detects the appropriate country, supports setting a proxy for each tab. Its advantage is ease of setup. FreeGate provides high speed, slightly superior to Hola. This analogue is useful for connecting to proxies of countries that are not in the friGate list. Hola is more popular and has a developed network of proxy servers around the world, for specific needs it is better to use it.

There are other alternative programs for VPN connection: Browsec, DotVPN, ZenMate, etc., but they do not work on all resources.

Today, the friGate extension for Yandex browser has become a worthy alternative to popular VPN resources. It has everything you need for a good proxy plugin: high speed, easy setup, accessibility, nice GUI. With the help of the addon, you can easily go to any site or maintain privacy on the network.

Today I will talk about a wonderful plugin for Google Chrome And Mozilla Firefox which will allow you to visit sites blocked by your ISP.
Many of you have probably heard that Roskomnadzor has the right to block any Internet sites that in any way violate the laws of our country. Rather, Roskomnadzor obliges Internet providers to block these sites. And providers, of course, obey this requirement.

And then one day, going to any site, you can see the inscription: “Blocked by decision of the federal executive authorities”, or “The resource at the specified IP address is blocked by the decision of the state authorities” or something similar.

In fact, getting around this ban is not at all difficult. One of the easiest and most convenient ways is installing the friGate plugin in browsers Mozilla Firefox And Google Chrome.

I note that this extension easily opens sites that are included in the list compiled by the developers. Therefore, it will not open absolutely all existing sites. But there is no problem with this: in the settings, you can add the desired site to your own list, and it will be immediately unblocked.

So, let me tell you more how to use the friGate plugin.

Let's start with my favorite browser, Mozilla Firefox:

You need to launch a browser and install the extension on it, available from this link.

After installation, the icon will appear on the toolbar:

Now we go to the site blocked by the provider. In my case, this is a betting site liga-stavok.com:If the site is not automatically unblocked, then do the following:

Clicking left by clicking on the friGate icon in the browser. Move the mouse cursor over the first item “site NOT from the list” - then click “ add site to list”:
After that, again left-click on the friGate icon - hover over the first line and select the item “ incl. proxy constantly for the site”:
After that, we refresh the page - the site should open.

Now about how to work with the friGate plugin if you are using Google Chrome:

Launch your browser and install the extension available from this link.

After it is installed, the icon will appear on the toolbar:
Now we go to the site blocked by the provider. In my case, this is still the same site of the bookmaker's office liga-stavok.com.

If the site is not automatically unblocked, then it must be added to the list manually:

Click on the friGate icon right mouse button and select " Options”:A page with site access settings will open. At first create your list:

First of all, we give the list a name: I just wrote “ Sites” (if the name of your list will consist of several words, then do not separate them with spaces - use an underscore instead). Then press the button " Add list”:

Here's what happened:

We go to our list by simply clicking on it. Adding a site name, access to which is blocked by the provider. As they suggest here, it is better to immediately add a domain with subdomains, for example: *.liga-stavok.com instead of www.liga-stavok.com.

After writing the name of the site, make sure that the item “ proxy is always on”, and press the button “ Add site”:
Site added:

After that, refresh the page - the blocked site should open.

Note that you can add as many sites as you like to your list. At any time, you can remove a site from the list or simply disable the friGate plugin for it.

That's all for today. I described it in a separate article - I recommend that you read it.

Recently, in different states, be it Russia, Kazakhstan or Ukraine, more and more often they began to block access to various sites and resources. Today we will tell you how to fix such misunderstandings and bypass blocking using the friGate CDN extension for Yandex.Browser.

You can download this plugin in Russian for free a little below. The instructions on this page will be shown using Yandex.Browser as an example, however, the same can be done in other browsers.

What is friGate CDN

This is an add-on for Yandex Browser, which is able to replace the main IP, connecting to the network through its own proxy servers. As a result, access to blocked resources will be restored. After all, our provider does not know where we are connecting, exchanging requests with friGate CDN, which, in turn, redirects them to the same Yandex or VKontakte.

Attention: do not try to download and install the extension from third-party sites, as well as using the search in Yandex or Google. This approach will expose your computer to a high probability of infection malicious code. Use only our link, or better yet, download the plugin from the official Yandex store.

Installation

Let's proceed directly to installing the extension. This is very easy to do, follow our step-by-step instructions:

  1. Go to the official website and select the plugin version. The assembly for Yandex.Browser will be available automatically.
  1. The system will redirect us to the official store. Since Yandex.Browser supports the installation and use of plug-ins from Google Chrome, we see the Google Web Store. To start the installation, click the button marked with an arrow.
  1. In the new window, confirm the installation by clicking the button indicated in the screenshot.

This completes the installation of friGate CDN for Yandex.Browser and we are moving on to the instructions for working with the extension.

How to work with friGate

Initially, you need to make some settings and add addresses that should be accessed through the VPN. This is done so that we exclude working with proxies on unblocked resources, such as YouTube or Facebook.

So let's take these steps:

  1. We press the button of the main menu of Yandex Browser (marked with the number "1") and select the item "Add-ons" in the drop-down list.
  1. We find our plugin and expand its settings by clicking on the button indicated in the screenshot.
  1. Go to the plugin settings by clicking the button highlighted with a frame.
  1. In order to add a rule, we write its name in the field indicated by one, and click the Yandex.Browser button labeled "Add list".
  1. As a result, the VKontakte rule appeared in the settings. To enter prohibited domains in friGate, you should name it by name.
  1. Specify the domain to which we want to access. Since in our case it is vk.com, we write "*" (asterisk), which means the inclusion of all subdomains on the left, then put a dot and type "vk.com". At the end, close the rule again with an asterisk. Select the mode of operation (marked with the number "2") and save the changes by clicking on the "Add site" button.

Our rule is created, and it appeared in the settings.

We pass to the forbidden resource and we see that access to it is unblocked. This is also evidenced by a sign that appears in the upper right corner of the browser from Yandex.

This is what we needed to do. If you need another site, for example, some kind of torrent, add it to the friGate rule.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

  • nice user interface;
  • high speed of work;
  • no failures;
  • filtering only those sites, access to which is prohibited;
  • accessibility for any browsers and operating systems. Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox and Yandex Browser are supported.

Flaws:

The only downside is that it is difficult to set up. However, if you do not understand how this is done from what was written above, you can watch the training video in which we showed everything in detail.

Video instruction

In order to understand the issue of installing friGate in Yandex.Browser even better, we recommend watching a video prepared specifically for this.

Conclusion

This concludes our article, we hope the issue of installing friGate in Yandex Browser is fully disclosed for you and all sites that were previously blocked will be available, as a result, you will again get access to communication and the necessary content.

Note that there are many analogues, however, friGate still remains the best.

friGate for Yandex.Browser

5 (100%) 1 Votes

24.03.2017

Recently, more and more often we have to deal with the fact that the sites that were once loved and have even become part of everyday life are becoming inaccessible. Yesterday it was still possible to download interesting games, music, read articles and chat, but today the provider just shrugs. What to do? Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to deal with an annoying situation. And here we will consider the option of installing the FreeGate add-on for Yandex.Browser.

What is FriGate and what is it for?

At the moment, almost all known browsers support the ability to work with various add-ons. Many of them focus their work on providing bypass of ISP resource locks. In most cases, this is done through a proxy connection. The problem is that a significant number of add-ons cannot offer a truly effective approach to this task. In most cases, they allow absolutely any visits to sites through a proxy, which puts a significant load on the Internet connection. And in the case when mobile traffic is used, it becomes a disaster in general.

FriGate gained its popularity due to the fact that it uses a convenient algorithm that determines the fact that the site is blocked for this particular user and only at the moment of trying to get to it. And only then work with a proxy joins. This saves traffic as much as possible and reduces the load on the computer as a whole.

But there are alternative applications for gaining access. You can familiarize yourself with them individually, as well as see a separate example:

Installing FriGate for Yandex.Browser

There are several key ways to install FriGate for Yandex.Browser. We will cover all the main ones. Due to the fact that many modern popular browsers use almost the same code architecture, the procedure is similar for different programs. So the algorithm is useful not only in this case. Luckily, Freegate is completely free, so the app is available to absolutely everyone.

Method 1: Installing an existing extension

After installing Yandex.Browser, many users may find that FriGate is already on the list of add-ons. This may be due to the fact that the add-on has already been installed on other browsers. The program itself puts this extension in high priority, and demonstrates it among the first available. So if it happened, then you just need to activate it. For this you need:


Method 2: Installing from the official site

In case of any difficulties due to which it is impossible to activate the extension, or if it does not appear at all in the list available for Yandex.Browser, you can always get FreeGate from the official website of the developer.


Method 3: Install from the Google Chrome directory

As mentioned earlier, you can download the add-on directly from the Google Chrome add-ons catalog.


All in all, here are the main ways to install this really useful extension. After all, lately Roskomnadzor has been on the alert, and dozens of various sites fall under disgrace every day. So have this application in your pocket will never be superfluous.
