Access Web3 Domains with VPN Unlimited

VPN Unlimited now supports Web3 domains, enabling users to directly access decentralized websites and retrieve information about next-generation domains. Web3 technology expands the capabilities of the traditional internet, making it more open, independent, and innovative.

What Are Web3 Domains and Websites?

 

Web3 domains are unique addresses registered in decentralized, blockchain-based systems. The main types include:

ENS (Ethereum Name Service) – domains with the .eth extension

UNS (Unstoppable Domains) – domains with extensions like .crypto, .nft, and others

Unlike traditional domains, Web3 domains can point not only to websites but also to cryptocurrency wallets, profiles, or other data stored on the blockchain. These domains are used to access decentralized websites, which are often hosted on IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) – a distributed file storage protocol.

Examples of Web3 domains:

http://vitalik.eth – Vitalik Buterin’s blog

http://ens.eth – Ethereum Name Service website

http://dtube.crypto – decentralized video platform

How Web3 Domain Support Works in VPN Unlimited

VPN Unlimited servers resolve Web3 domains such as ENS (.eth) and UNS (.crypto, .nft, and others). This allows users to access these domains directly through their browser, without the need for third-party extensions or additional configuration.

1

When you enter a Web3 domain in your browser’s address bar, the request is automatically processed by the VPN server.

2

If the domain is linked to an IPFS website, the server redirects you to the corresponding decentralized resource.

3

If the domain contains other information (such as a wallet address or profile), a special information page is displayed, showing data retrieved from the blockchain.

How to Access Web3 Domains with VPN Unlimited: Simple, No Extensions Needed

1

Connect to VPN Unlimited

Ensure your internet connection is routed through VPN Unlimited. This is necessary for correct Web3 domain resolution, as these requests are handled directly by the VPN servers.

Note: Crucially, you must also disable any DNS over HTTPS (DoH) or DNS over TLS (DoT) settings in your browser, as these will prevent the Web3 resolving feature from functioning.

2

Enter the Web3 domain address in your browser

In your browser’s address bar, enter the desired Web3 domain, making sure to start with http://. For example:

  • http://vitalik.eth
  • http://dtube.crypto

Note: The http protocol is required for the request to be processed correctly.

 

3

Access decentralized websites

If the domain is linked to a decentralized website (for example, hosted on IPFS), the VPN server will automatically detect this and redirect you to the site. You can browse the content just like on any traditional website.

View the domain information panel

If the domain is not linked to a website but contains other data (such as a wallet address, description, or other blockchain information), the VPN server will display a special information panel. This panel presents all available details about the domain, retrieved directly from the blockchain.

How to always view the information panel

Sometimes, a domain may be linked to both a website and additional information. If you want to view the information panel specifically (for example, to see the owner’s details, wallet address, etc.), simply add /index to the domain address. For example:

This ensures you get the full information about the domain, regardless of whether a website is present.
