Using FuzeVPN abroad or on a network that blocks VPNs

FuzeVPN can be used abroad, including in countries that restrict VPNs. Install it and sign in to your account before you leave: everything will be ready when you arrive.

What to do

  1. Before you leave

    Install FuzeVPN and sign in to your account before you leave. Everything will be ready when you arrive, with no app to download and no credentials to enter on an unfamiliar network.

  2. Extension as a backup

    On a computer, also install the extension for your browser and sign in to it before you leave. It takes over if the apps cannot connect. As long as the app works, leave the extension disconnected; it counts as one device. On a PC in S mode, use the extension for any browser.

  3. Hotel Wi-Fi

    On Wi-Fi in a hotel, café or railway station, first get through the network’s sign-in page. Then turn on the VPN.

  4. Other protocol

    The app won’t connect? Disconnect the VPN, then choose the other protocol, that is, the other connection method: WireGuard or OpenVPN. On Windows: Settings → Connection → VPN protocol; on Android: Connection → Advanced options → Protocol.

  5. Still blocked

    Still blocked on a computer? Use the extension for Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Brave: it protects your browsing in that browser. It goes through an HTTPS proxy encrypted with TLS on port 443, like an ordinary HTTPS connection. The extension installs on computers, not in a browser on Android.

    Read the Public Wi-Fi guide, for before, during and after connecting, and the VPN, proxy or Tor guide. Is the connection failing for another reason? Follow the article on the VPN that won’t connect.

Why it happens

  • FuzeVPN can be used abroad, including in countries that restrict VPNs.
  • Some networks block the apps from connecting. The Windows and Android apps use WireGuard and OpenVPN over UDP, without a stealth mode (obfuscation) or a TCP/443 fallback.
  • Nothing gets through on the hotel Wi-Fi? Some networks ask you to get through a sign-in page or accept terms before opening internet access.
  • Set up before you leave, FuzeVPN saves you from downloading an app or entering credentials on an unfamiliar network.
