Why You Need a VPN for Brave
A Different Layer
Shields works well inside the page, stopping trackers and fingerprinting. Still, a VPN for Brave can also hide what your ISP and network operator see about the connection itself. Our VPN is all about covering that second layer, so the tools work together.
Locked-Down Computers
Installing a full VPN app is often off the table on a co-managed work machine, while adding browser extensions is usually permitted. CometVPN has a VPN extension for Brave that installs straight from the Chrome Web Store into Brave, giving you privacy without full installs.
Device-Wide Pricing
Brave's own Firewall + VPN protects your whole device, at the full price of a subscription. Independent reviewers often call it a weak deal in terms of value for money. If you mainly want your browser covered, an independent extension is the lighter fit.
Open Wi-Fi Logins
Shields can block every tracker on the page, but your logins still cross co-working or hotel Wi-Fi like everyone else’s. Our VPN extension for Brave browser encrypts that trip between the browser and our server, closing a gap other tools were never meant to handle.
Blocked Sites
When a network blocks a site outright, the page won’t load, so Shields has nothing to work on. Add the extension to your browser, connect to a server in another location, and the page loads normally, while your session and data remain private.
CometVPN Features for Brave Users
Residential IP
Websites often respond to data center IPs with CAPTCHAs or outright blocks. When enabled, the extension routes Brave traffic through a residential IP, making it look like an ordinary home connection, allowing pages to load.
Fast Browsing Speeds
Even with a VPN for Brave, pages should load the way they always do, and videos shouldn’t buffer. CometVPN ensures that, with WireGuard's low overhead, while encryption prevents ISP throttling by bandwidth type.
No-Logs Policy
Whatever you open in Brave and the searches you do stay entirely private. CometVPN will keep no activity or connection logs, so the ISP or network admins can’t see your browsing history at work.
Encrypted Browser Traffic
Everything Brave sends, from a login form to a search, travels encrypted to our server. Shields still works inside the page, with the extension focused on protecting the connection that carries it.
Multi-Device Access
You can use the same VPN for Brave on your laptop, home computer, or mobile even. One CometVPN account covers the extension on all devices, adding a privacy layer for every session.
Why Brave Users Trust CometVPN

Lauren Bennett Good VPN for bypassing social media censorship in Turkey.

Amelia Cross I have been travelling a lot for the past few years, and as a rule - CometVPN is always on. It helps me to stay engaged with the news from my home country and I feel much safer knowing that my internet traffic is hidden.
-
Marcus Holloway I just wanted privacy, so this was the perfect choice for me - I wasn’t forced to buy overpriced features, simple for everyday use. The only drawback is that sometimes the interface is not very intuitive, but their consultants have been very helpful for this.

Samuel Whitaker CometVPN, although a bit limited in features, worked reliably. Truly a solid choice as I couldn’t find anything more affordable that also works for what VPN is supposed to do.
-
Ethan Caldwell As a Canadian, I was frustrated by not being able to watch U.S. Netflix content, until I found CometVPN. I realized that with their servers, I could bypass restrictions easily and enjoy unlimited streaming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Brave Shields Replace a VPN?
No, because they do different things. Shields primarily blocks trackers inside pages, while a dedicated Brave browser VPN encrypts the connection itself and hides your traffic from the ISP.
Will the Brave Extension Protect My Whole Computer?
No, it covers Brave traffic only. You should install the standalone app for apps and background traffic (or dedicated extensions for other browsers). The app, with its kill switch, protects the entire device; see plans.
Is Using a VPN Extension with Brave Legal?
Usually, yes, but it depends on your jurisdiction. Governing laws and terms of individual sites still apply, so check both where it’s needed, since CometVPN can’t provide legal assurance.
Is Brave's Own Firewall + VPN Worth Paying For?
While it’s a genuine full-device option, independent reviews commonly rate it as a poor choice in terms of value for money. If you want Brave traffic covered, an extension could be better.
Why Not Use a Free VPN Extension for Brave?
Because a free VPN for Brave still makes money by selling user data. That’s the polar opposite of why you chose a privacy-first browser.
