4.1 out of 5
Scored by Alex after real useOur verdict
LayerVPN masks your browsing to keep it private and anonymous, in the same vein as a standard Chrome VPN. It also plugs into LayerAI's AI2Earn system, paying out DATUM crypto rewards to anyone who lets their connection act as a data-contributing node. That trade-off sits oddly next to a tool pitched on privacy, though its 4.1-star rating from 107 reviews suggests plenty of people use it anyway.
