Today it is almost impossible to imagine a person who would not have an account on any social network. For the post-Soviet region, the region of the CIS countries, VKontakte is the most popular. It is here that the greatest activity is concentrated, according to statistics.
It is because of this popularity that many users want to keep the fact of their use of this social network secret. The reasons may be different: employers prohibit the use of this social network at workplaces, or they simply do not want to advertise the fact of their presence to certain people. You can, of course, just not log into the network or sit there with an additional account, but sometimes you need to get access to your personal data, music or correspondence with partners or friends.
For this purpose, VK has no special "native" options. However, third-party developers offer us additional plugins, by installing which you can achieve the desired result.
VK offline
For users of the Yandex browser and Google Chrome, there is a convenient and simple application that will allow you to hide the fact of your presence on the VK social network from outside observers. It is called VK offline.
It is easy to install, and will not make any blame, even for people who do not have deep knowledge of setting up computers and programs.
Installing the plugin
In order to install this application, you need to open a browser and go to the program menu. Next, go to the "Add-ons" section. In the page that opens, we see all installed and active applications for our browser - you need to scroll down this page and click on the yellow button "Directory of Yandex browser extensions":
The second option is much simpler: follow the direct link https://addons.opera.com/ru/extensions/ and get to the right place right away (don't be confused by the reference to opera in the link, this list of applications is the same for several browsers).
An application store will open in front of us. Using the search, we find the VK offline extension for Yandex browser and click "Install"
The program will be installed automatically. Remember to restart your browser for all changes to take effect. After installation, the user will be prompted to authorize their account.
Important! Do not download programs of this type from unverified sites. Attackers can easily imitate the program interface and when entering the user's personal data, they can easily take over and hack your page.
The principle of the plugin is based on the API of the request technology. After authorization, the program will save all your information to the cache, which will be updated as you connect to the Internet, while the user's status in the network itself remains "offline". Thanks to this, we can easily read any of our correspondence, view news, listen to music, without giving away our activity. In addition, even if there is no Internet connection at all, you can use the cached information offline.
The features of the program include:
- All the functionality of this program is distributed free of charge;
- The ability to use several accounts at once without forced re-login;
- A complete list of notifications, including new messages in personal correspondence, birthday reminders, news.
Since, unfortunately, the developers of this social network did not take care of the functionality that hides our activity on the network, we have to use third-party applications. It is not always convenient, but it bears fruit.
You probably spend a lot of time on social networks, and for example, while sitting in VK, you would like to stay offline, but how? This will be discussed today, we will consider a couple of ways how to be offline on VKontakte!
Now you can't listen to music for more than an hour! Read how to get around this limitation.
Attention: now full offline VKontakte DOES NOT WORK (only partial) -
You can also use the service itself. What is noteworthy is that for residents of Ukraine, all requests go through a proxy server. This means that there is no need to use a VPN to bypass blocking.
This service is called APIdog. APIdog (there is a convenient browser extension -) is an unofficial alternative version of VKontakte, based on the VKontakte API methods and written entirely in JavaScript. With the help of this service, you can sit on VKontakte almost the same way as on a full site, but with the possibility of offline. You can also write messages, repost posts, watch news, etc. However, as in previous cases, you cannot write your notes on the wall, otherwise you will immediately become online.
In the settings, be sure to check the box next to "enable auto-update of dialogs (long-poll)", click the "Save" and "Restart long-poll" buttons. If you do not enable this function, then in dialogs you will need to click the refresh button to see sent / received messages. The rest of the settings can be set at will. And don't forget to save them.
In the next tab (Interface) you can change the background. It is possible to choose from existing ones or add your own background. Well, in the next tab it is clear that here you can add people to the black list. I think there is no need to explain what it is.
Sit offline with Windows Phone
Usually, WinPhone owners are undeservedly deprived, although the OS itself has already closed - people still use it, don't leave them! And for this platform there are alternative VK clients - VK client Invisible.
Alternatively, you can also use the Viber version for your computer https://softprime.net/internet/obschenie/33-viber.html, where you can always hide your presence.
Here are the easiest ways to sit on VKontakte, and be offline, all the best!
Greetings, dear readers of the blog site. Today we will talk with you about various applications and browser extensions to stay incognito at any time. I think the article will be very useful to everyone.
In VK, in addition to the main messaging function, there are news, audio recordings and video recordings. Many people want to use this functionality, but without the unnecessary distraction of reading and answering messages. The ability to invisibly visit VKontakte is convenient to listen to music or view the news feed, but remain unnoticed by others.
The incognito function allows you to discreetly use all available vk features, but at the same time the “offline” mark will remain in the status above the social name. This opportunity will be needed, for example, to hide from the authorities and quietly sit on VKontakte. Or to continue communicating with the right people secretly from annoying subscribers and acquaintances.
How to log into VK invisible from a computer
Initially, you should understand how VKontakte determines the status of a person. Sometimes it happens that online above the interlocutor's nickname is lit, but after 3 seconds the inscription “was online 15 minutes ago” appears. Let's see why this happens.
If there were no actions on the page (there are no requests to the server), then online will be kept for 15 minutes. As soon as the inactivity time goes over the set limit, the status will change. Knowing these features of the site, people use a simple method, how to surf the net invisibly. To instantly become "offline" you need to completely exit the page by clicking the appropriate button in the profile section.
No third-party programs
Many will be interested in how to enter VK invisibly from a computer without additional extensions, add-ons and programs. To do this, there is a simple sequence of steps:
- First, go to your page after being authorized.
- Go to the dialogs section.
- Leave the tab open and do not take any action (viewing subscribers, visiting your page and groups, commenting on photos or posts, watching videos) for 20 minutes. Only listening to music is allowed.
- Once the time is up, the person will be considered invisible to others. In the secret mode, you can listen to music, play, communicate in dialogues, visit groups. But if you try to view friends, create a conversation or visit your own page, the status will again show "online".
This method has significant disadvantages. The main one is the limitation of functionality, as well as prolonged inactivity before switching to incognito mode. There is one that I also reviewed, as well as a wider list of anonymizers.
VK anonymizer from Apidog
The shortcomings of the previous method are very unpleasant and critical for most people. To solve this problem, a special site was created, which, thanks to the algorithm for redirecting client requests, allows you to invisibly use all the features of vk.
First you need to go to website apidog.ru... The primary page can change its appearance thanks to different backgrounds. They change every time the page is refreshed.
In the apidog.ru/login section, you must enter the real username and password from the page from which you plan to sit in incognito mode. There is a drop-down list with types of operating systems. This feature allows you to adapt the interface and functionality of the site for certain features of browsers and OS.
After pressing the "enter" button, you will additionally need to enter the security code from the VC. During the initial authorization, a window will pop up in which it is necessary to allow the apidog service to access the account. After completing this action, you can fully use all the capabilities of the vk social network, while being in stealth mode.
The apidog service has drawbacks in the form of a lack of automatic display of incoming messages. To see the SMS from the interlocutor, you need to regularly update the page yourself. In addition, in 2016, VKontakte began to check user-agent headers when sending a request from a client to listen to music. Because of this, APIdog users have lost the ability to directly listen to audio recordings through the service.
To solve this problem, programmers created the APIdog Plus add-on. Browser extensions can be downloaded from the official developer. It is adapted for Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Yandex browser.
Forwarding requests to Opera and Mozila
This method works on older versions of the Opera browser. In the modern modification, the standard path to the required option has been changed or is completely absent.
The opera browser supports the request redirection function. To enable it in Opera, open Settings> Advanced> Network. Uncheck automatic redirection here. Next, you need to save the settings and go to vkontakte.ru/login.php. An error will be displayed during authorization, do not pay attention. You can use the entire interface of the social network, but do not visit your own page.
There is a method with MozilaFirefox and changing the http protocol re-request setting, but in practice it does not bring the required results. Since VKontakte has improved the security system and now does not allow you to freely enter the site using this method. If you try to authorize with the changed network.http.redirection-limits parameter to 0, an error will be displayed. And the login button will freeze with the animation playing.
Also, after trying to go to any other VKontakte tab, for example news, a redirection problem will appear.
Computer applications and browser extensions
If you want to go in so as not to be online, you can use auxiliary browser extensions or full-fledged programs for windows. The most common among them are:
- VKfox;
- VkLife;
- VK A-Vision;
- VKontakte agent;
- VK Offline.
These programs and extensions are more aimed at quickly accessing and managing the network, but they are also capable of creating an incognito mode for the user.
For example, VkFox adds a convenient interface to the browser for chatting with friends and instant news reading. In this case, there is a function to turn off the eternal online mode. This effect will work if you do not open your page for 20 minutes. After the end of this time, you can continue to watch the news and communicate with friends via vkfox, but at the same time remain invisible.
How to enter VK invisible from the phone
Most users prefer visiting vk from smartphones. Therefore, they will be interested in the question of how to enter VK invisible from the phone. To provide incognito access, a special application is first downloaded. The most common for android is the Kate Mobil app. There are also similar analogs:
- Polyglot Vk;
- FliPSi.
For iOS, popular applications are:
- vFeed;
- VK agent;
- Swist;
- BMessanger;
- Lime.
In addition, on any operating system, you can open apidog through a browser and sit through it.
Additional client function on android and iOS
There is an interesting way to get invisible using the built-in settings of the VK application for the phone. To activate it:
- open vk app> settings> about program;
- click on the dog emblem three times;
- close the client and go to the dialer section;
- enter * # * # 856682583 # * # *
- in the window that appears, we find the "invisible" section and put a tick opposite.
After these steps, you can continue to use all the features of VKontakte, but at the same time it is offline. In some cases, after entering a digital command, nothing will be displayed in front of the person. A similar error occurs if you use a dialer that does not support calling a specific code.
To fix this error, download some third-party dialer and repeat the above instructions. For example, you can use exdialer and enter the code through it. You can also try the Secret Codes program and select the "Vkontakte" section in its section. It will automatically show the developer capabilities for the application.
Installation of an additional dialer is required for Lenovo, Samsung, Apple, Fly and others.
Conclusion
Any user of the social network Vkontakte can enjoy all the possibilities of the Internet resource, staying offline and not being distracted by unnecessary messages from friends and acquaintances. There are many different methods to bypass the VK status determination algorithm. A person only needs to choose the most suitable option for himself.
I hope the material was useful and I am waiting for you among my blog subscribers. Do not forget to repost and see you soon. All is good.
Respectfully yours, Galiulin Ruslan.
Many are attracted by the opportunity to be in VK offline and at the same time watch others. If you actively use the application from your phone, then you probably know that there is an improved mobile version of the resource that helps you stay offline and correspond with other users. In this article, we will tell you if there are programs or browser extensions that help you stay offline from your PC.
How to be offline Vkontakte from a computer 2018
On the official website in VK there is no such function with which you could remain invisible. This can only be done if you go to the music section and stay there without going to other pages. But then the whole meaning of the stealth mode is lost. The site will help you to be able to reply to messages from friends and be invisible. https://apidog.ru/auth.php .
This application does not require browser installation and download. To start working with it, enter your details:
- A code will be sent to your phone. Enter it in the field that opens under the data entry.
- After going to the site at the top of the page, the alternative version of the site will highlight in red those sections that may indicate your presence on the site. You shouldn't press them if you want to remain invisible.
- Go to the page settings tab and uncheck the online mode. Also, do not forget to enable the auto-update dialog function, otherwise you will not see who wrote to you and you will not be able to answer.
Now you can freely use invisibility. Let us remind you what you shouldn't do if you don't want to give yourself away. Not worth it:
- Update avatar
- Upload videos
- Post and repost posts on the wall
But you can listen to music and actively communicate with your friends. However, not everyone may like your offline position. If you want to be open to people and develop your popularity, you should not connect any applications and become invisible. Especially if you have a lot and ... You may lose some of them after a while.
We also note that the admins and technical support of the resource periodically block sites of this kind. Therefore, how long you can hold out in this mode, no one can know.
Eternal offline Vkontakte
There is another site that allows you to stay in the eternal VK offline. It is located at the link: https://vkapi.ga/offline/... To start working in it, you need to drive in to click on the "set eternal offline" button. And then, use the instructions on the site.
If you don't want your page to be hacked or , it is better not to connect anything superfluous. VK is a platform for open communication. Hiding from someone, you can pick up viruses or make your friends disappointed in you and stop writing. It is better not to connect anything, especially when you are offered to pay for services.
In all cases, scammers do this. VK has been on the social media market for a long time and during its existence was able to gather not only a large audience, but also significantly promote the security system. Periodically, technical support and people who are in charge of security monitor the Internet to find and block sites that undermine the company's image.
If you want to remain invisible, register with classmates or follow the latest information on Instagram. As we said above, there is still an opportunity to visit VK offline from the phone. For Android users, an unofficial katemobile application is offered. You can take a chance and set it to yourself. However, it will not work on all gadgets.
For example listening to music, watching videos. But in order to communicate with other users there is no time or desire. In this case, the best solution is to enable stealth mode on the device. There are several ways to do this using the social network itself, browser settings, or installing a separate client for VK.
How to enable offline mode
Mode invisible in VK for Windows Phone can be configured in various ways, one of which is to stop the page from being active. In this case, the profile will be displayed for other users of the social network in the Offline status, while some functionality will be available. Namely:
- - viewing the news feed;
- - access to media files (video, audio recordings);
To activate the invisibility mode, it is enough to stop the profile activity for 20 minutes. Offline status will turn on automatically. However, this method has a significant drawback - the restriction in access to some pages. That is, when you go to your profile or the personal page of another user of the VKontakte social network, the invisibility mode will be turned off and the user will again be displayed as being online.
In order to avoid this kind of inconvenience, it is more expedient to use invisible application for Windows Phone, or use your browser settings.
Stealth mode utilities on Windows Phone
Special applications that allow you to activate on devices from Microsoft invisible VK for Windows Phone not much. The most popular of these are the following.
- VK Go !.
- Invisible VK
- VClient
All these utilities are unofficial clients for the VKontakte social network. They support the basic functions of the social network, as well as a number of additional ones. Apps allow you to enable the mode invisible VK for Windows Phone 10 versions, as well as earlier: 8 and 8.1.
Each of these utilities supports roughly the same feature set. However, there are some differences in their functionality.
VK Go!
The Store offers a large number of unofficial clients for social networks with various functionalities. Supports mode invisible for VK for Windows Phone application VK Go !. Its key feature is the ability not only to stay offline, but also in access to download media files from VK. This feature also allows you to use video and audio recordings without going online.
Invisible VK
Another invisible VKontakte application for Windows Phone... It also provides the ability to read messages anonymously. This utility differs in that it can simultaneously support several accounts, which makes its use even more convenient.
VClient
Perhaps the most famous client for keeping stealth mode. Like the others, it allows you to anonymously read incoming messages, use the pages of a social network, without detecting user activity. An additional advantage of this utility is the encryption of dialogs and messages when using it. This makes communication more secure.
If for some reason the use of third-party clients is unavailable or inconvenient, you can keep the invisibility mode when using the VKontakte social network in standard browsers.
Enabling stealth mode using Google Chrome, Opera and FireFox settings
For Google Chrome and FireFox, you will need to install a separate extension from the official website of the developers. You can find it in a separate section “Plugins.” After installation on the device, you will need to uncheck the box of settings “Always be online”. This activates the invisible mode on Windows Phone.
No additional downloads are required for this. All you need to do is go to the "Advanced settings" tab of the browser menu and go to the network settings section. Here you need to uncheck the "Enable automatic redirection" box. After making adjustments, an access error will appear when you exit to the profile page. You need to refresh the page - it will be displayed correctly in invisible mode.
Very often, users of social networks have a need to remain invisible, while being present on the network. Many are interested in how invisible for Windows Phone is activated in VK. After all, you can visit your profile, for example, to listen to your favorite music tracks, when there is simply no time or desire to communicate with friends.
At such a moment, not responding to messages or writing in abrupt sentences is not the best solution. Friends may be trite to be offended, but they don't want to be left without music either. There is a way out of the situation - this is to create the appearance that the user is offline. This will allow you to make full use of your account while remaining invisible to others.
Starting stealth mode
This method is the most acceptable and does not require downloading any add-ons to your smartphone. To activate invisibility, you need to log into your account, go to the messages section and pause for 15-20 minutes. This is enough to become invisible.
This method has certain restrictions on transitions to VK pages. Invisibility functions until you go to the main page of your account or to the page of your friends or other users. It is allowed to watch various videos, as well as listen to music. All other actions will immediately display your online status. If this method does not suit you with certain restrictions, then try alternative methods.
By the way, the option to activate invisibility can be greatly simplified. To do this, bookmark your profile, or rather the audio page.
So, you do not need to wait 20 minutes to activate invisibility. You can immediately go to your profile, listen to music and view and remain invisible.
Application of special applications
Official applications to activate VK invisibility for Windows Phone have not yet been presented. There are third party applications. They claim that their applications provide complete invisibility on VKontakte. In fact, the Windows operating system for smartphones has a certain specificity, so no application can provide complete invisibility. When downloading any third-party application, remember that you can get a virus or malware that can harm your device.
application VKontakte Offline for Google Chrome, this is a list of contacts, your correspondence and notifications of new messages, even when the browser is closed or the Internet is not available.
When creating VKontakte Offline, I had the idea that the development of our most famous social network is not going quite the right way. If at the very beginning the very concept of “stay in contact” was actively used and meant “to have access to the list of your friends”, now it means “to stay on the site itself”, wasting your time to find out what happened with your friends, follow for new messages, etc.
Then I had the idea to make a short stop and imagine how I would like to use my data from the contact, provided that most of my friends are sitting there, and important correspondence periodically occurs in private messages. The solution was to create an application that should notify about new messages even when the contact tab is closed, and also (ideally) when the browser is closed. The application should provide access to correspondence always, even when there is no Internet connection.
Correspondence
The main idea of using the application is precisely its invisibility. You don't need to keep it open and watch what happens - you can close it and it will still notify you of new messages as soon as they arrive. If you need to find something in the correspondence, or find the contact phone number of the interlocutor you need, then in the application this is done in 2 clicks. In the absence of an Internet connection, all correspondence and the list of contacts are also available for viewing and searching. The application is focused on those people who value their time, but want to stay in touch with their friends and acquaintances. And also for those who have problems with the Internet channel.
Viewing emails
Last week I decided that it would be best to describe the application in words. After that, my friends and I recorded a full-fledged video story about the essence of the application from the very center of St. Petersburg:
And a screencast for the Chrome Web Store:
The basis of the application interface was created at Google Hackathon in St. Petersburg on August 27 and 28. At the same time, its first presentation was held. The application is actively developing and now it implements search by contacts and messages, which I am talking about in the video. It is also possible to work with contacts and correspondence in the absence of the Internet, as well as notifications of new messages even when the browser is closed. Sorting of contacts is set on the application settings page.
Notifications
Not without mistakes. As soon as the application had its first users, a very offensive bug surfaced in Chromium (http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=94314), when on Windows computers with Russian usernames it is impossible to work with the file system. The application was installing but could not reach the background page. As a result, a fairly large part of users was lost, and the general impression of the application was probably spoiled. Nevertheless, the error was discovered in the evening of the same day and corrected the next morning.

As always, I am waiting for estimates and suggestions. If you have questions and advice on the technical part of the application, write your comments, I will be happy to answer and listen.
