14min

Introduction

The IPBurger Extension for Firefox is specifically designed for protecting Stealth/Business Accounts, secure surfing, and streaming. It turns your browser into a protected browser, where you can use your business account without ever worrying about leaks, being caught or linked. The Extension provides extra layers of security that are not present in traditional VPN Software: DNS & WebRTC Protection, Auto-Connect, Kill Switch, and Browser Spoofing.

Requirements

  • MacOS 10.9+, Windows 7+, Chrome OS & its variants or Modern Unix/Linux
  • Firefox v60+
  • An active Plan/Service on IPBurger.com

2. Setup Proxy Credentials for your IP address

Proxy Credentials (Username and Password) are not the same as your account's email address and password. Proxy Credentials are issued on a per IP Address basis. Each of your service/IP Addresses has distinct Proxy Credentials.

3. Connect to VPN

Click on Save. This will automatically connect you to the IP Address.

Now your Firefox is set up to use IPBurger VPN. Every time you start the browser, it would automatically connect to VPN.

Next Steps

If you have previous sessions and cookies that you want to import, here’s an Extension for that: Cookie Manager for Firefox

We will leave this up to your requirements and expertise of operating Business Accounts.

It is important to allow the extension to run in Private Windows, otherwise, your traffic in Private Windows will leak out!

Go to about:addons in Firefox and click Allow for Run in Private Windows for IPBurger.

The Extension includes many-fold protection against any kind of leak.

IP Address & IPv6 | ✔Auto-Connect | ✔Kill Switch | ✔DNS | ✔WebRTC | ✔Timezone | ✔Language | ✔GPS

Head over to Extension FAQ to know more about them.

We deliberately do not provide an option to turn the protection Off, since that can lead to accidental leaks, mixed-up cookies, and caches when you access the browser without protection.

To access the Internet without a VPN, follow the instructions in the FAQs.

On Firefox, you can easily set up multiple isolated accounts and use them simultaneously without them ever being linked.

Here’s how you do it:

Troubleshooting

IPBurger Extension for Browsers is robust and should work in most cases, even when other VPN softwares we provide may fail. If you are having an issue, some possible causes are listed here.

Server unreachable

Reason: The extension is unable to connect to our servers.

Causes:

  • Check if you are connected to Internet
  • Is your country/ISP/firewalls actively blocking connections to VPNs or Proxies? It is possible that your Internet Provider has blockers in their Firewalls against certain Protocols or Ports. We support multiple Protocols & Ports for some services. Try them out while setting up
  • Are you connected to another VPN/Proxy? Please disable, or at best, uninstall them before using IPBurger Extension
  • One of our servers might be having temporary issues. In line with this, we have active monitors against our servers’ availability and we would be already working on resolving it. The connection should be back in max of couple hours. Feel free to 

Invalid credentials

Reason: The Proxy credentials you provided are invalid.

Causes:

  • Ensure you are entering the correct credentials, as 
  • Is your VPN Service active? 
  • If all is correct, and you are still having this error, please 

Invalid IP | Another VPN/Proxy Interfering

Reason: The Public IP Address assigned to you has been found invalid, and it does not belong to IPBurger.

Causes:

  • Do you have any other VPN/Proxy solutions enabled? Please disable them, or at best, uninstall them so that they do not interfere with IPBurger Extension.
  • Please 

Google Hangouts & Voice don’t function

Reason: The Extension disables WebRTC for preventing IP Leaks. Without WebRTC, many VOIP and  Video Calling services can not connect via peer-to-peer network.

This is the browser's default functionality and any issues related to this are out of scope.
