Sanctions against Crimea were supported by the global giant of the IT industry - Google, excluding the possibility of updating chrome in Crimea. On February 1, they closed access to adsense, analytics, adwords and many other products of the company. But you can bypass the restriction with the help, but what about the update Chrome browser? After all, the update is not carried out through the site, but directly from the Google servers.
But as the saying goes, "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger!". There is a solution for updating the browser. Read on for how to do this...
The question was asked on Twitter by an old friend of mine:
As promised, I am writing an article on this topic. At the time of writing, my browser has been updated to version 40.0.2214.93m. When I opened the browser information, I saw the following message:
“Update failed (error 7). An error occurred while checking for updates. Installation was not completed due to access restrictions in this country.”
Judging from this message, does Google recognize Crimea as a separate state? It's funny, oh well...
To update the browser, you need to change the existing IP address of the Internet connection. For this we use VPN connection to one of the free servers.
I found , which has a small selection of servers that you can connect to without any problems and work as if you are connected from another country.
Opening " Start ” — “Control Panel ” — “Network and Control Center public access ” click on “ Set up a new connection or network ”
Choose " Connecting to a workplace
”
Select “ Use my connection
”
Enter the address of the server to which we will connect (I chose the English server). The name can be left as default.
Enter your username and password and click " To plug
”
After a successful connection, you will see a message:
Great! Now let's check. Open a browser and enter the address 2ip.ru, a site will open where you need to agree to use the VPN server (this page will open when you open any site). Click " I AGREE” - the site of the vnp server will open
Now open the site 2ip.ru again and pay attention to your location
Great! Now open the page "About the browser" and lo and behold ... Update in progress
