Some government agencies (like Roskomnadzor) are trying to block access to sites that, in their opinion, distribute pirated content. Sometimes they succeed (though not for long). And then the question of the necessity of bypassing locks suddenly arises before users. Yandex Browser provides users with such a service. The company noted that VPN is already integrated in the new browser versions. But not so simple. We will consider possible options for bypassing locks using a browser from Yandex.
Why even bypass locks?
Locks never please anyone. And if our compatriots are still not so bad, then Ukrainians have blocked almost all segments of the Runet. They cannot use the Russian search engine, they cannot enter their pages on VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. Russian messengers are also banned. Especially for them, the Yandex company created a browser with VPN enabled. Therefore, it turns out without any settings to bypass the blocking sites. Yandex Browser does not require additional settings. At least that's what its creators say. But in reality, things are a little worse. You need to configure the browser. And we will consider how to do this.
Turbo Button
Few people know, but the browser from the Yandex company has a special button that, in theory, increases the page loading speed. But it can help bypass the blocking of some sites. How exactly this technology works is not entirely clear. But the fact remains: when the option "Turbo" is enabled, it is possible to bypass the lock. Experts explain this incident as follows. During the operation of the technology to increase the speed of loading pages, information from the server goes to the Yandex servers, where it is processed. Page sizes, graphic components and so on are reduced. And already from Yandex servers, information is sent to the user's computer. That is why it is possible to bypass the Runet lock in Yandex Browser. True, such a thing does not always work. To get a 100% result, it is better to use other opportunities. For example, special extensions.
Using the Browsec Extension
This is one of the most popular extensions providing VPN users. It helps to bypass Runet locks in Yandex Browser. The extension is installed from the Google Chrome store. The browser from Yandex is an exact copy of the brainchild of Google. So compatibility issues will not be for sure. To activate the VPN, after installation, just click on the icon with the extension image in the toolbar. The add-on will prompt you to select the country with the desired connection. The approximate connection speed will also be displayed there. It is better to choose the most stable servers. Now in the list of servers there are such countries as the Netherlands, Singapore, England and the USA. This is how blocking bypasses in Yandex Browser occurs using the Browsec extension. However, consider other options.
Using the friGate Extension
Plugins for Yandex.Browser to bypass blocking are very convenient things that reduce the user’s efforts to configure VPNs to a minimum. However, there are such things in the Google Chrome store that are able to work in fully automatic mode. This extension is friGate. All that is required of the user is to find, download and install the application. You don’t have to do anything else. When a user tries to access a blocked resource, the application is automatically activated and connected via VPN. As a result, the lock is useless. This method is suitable for almost all users. It is good because you do not need to configure anything. The automatic operation of the extension also does not affect the page loading speed in the browser. Everything is still fast. Many experts advise citizens of Ukraine to bypass the blocking of the Russian-language segment of the Internet in this way. The option is perfect for domestic users, if Roskomnadzor unexpectedly blocks their favorite site.
Using the ZenMate Extension
ZenMate is another extension of Yandex Browser. Bypassing locks with its help is possible on the principle of a normal switch to a server located in another country. The application provides four possible countries to bypass the lock: Hong Kong, USA, Germany and Romania. All available servers have high speed and stable connection. The user is required to find the application in the Google Chrome store, download and install it. Then you will need to click on the corresponding icon in the toolbar and select the server of a country. And then it will be possible to visit various blocked sites without any problems. A feature of this extension is that it consumes very little RAM when working. His presence is imperceptible. And this is another reason to install it. Then, for sure, the locks will not be scary.
Using anonymizers
Some services provide online VPN services. They are called anonymizers. They can be used by those who, for some reason, can’t install any of the above extensions. Bypassing locks in Yandex.Browser using anonymizers for many would be the most acceptable option. The most popular services of this kind are noblockme.ru and cameleo.xyz. Using them is very simple. Just go to this site. There will be an address bar. In it you need to insert the address of the site you want to visit, and click on the appropriate button. The site will quickly transfer the request to its own server and will connect you to the selected resource using your server. This is how such anonymizers work. However, many experts do not recommend using this option. In their opinion, such resources can introduce potentially dangerous software onto a computer. In terms of security, a solution with extensions looks much better. Although in this case, no one is safe from viruses and other malware.
Conclusion
So, there are a lot of options for bypassing locks in Yandex Browser. You can use the Turbo button in the web browser itself or install one of the extensions. And you can even use anonymizers. However, they are not advised to use the latter. As for extensions, the friGate option looks most attractive. This add-on is easy to install, practically does not use the computer’s RAM and works in automatic mode. As soon as you go to a deliberately blocked site, the extension will immediately begin to work. In general, bypassing Runet locks in Yandex Browser is not such a difficult task. To carry out this process, you do not even need to be a specialist in high technology. Everything is done very simply.
