Best Chrome VPN – IPVanish

You’re on the way to total data defense! Secure any internet connection with our VPN for Chrome OS.

IPVanish Chrome VPN Features

The Google Chrome OS is enhanced with VPN protection, but for the best VPN benefits, a free VPN won’t cut it. With IPVanish, though, you’ll have access to the best features:

No Logs

Privacy is our priority: we do not record any of your activity or traffic data while using our service, verified through an independent security audit.

Advanced Encryption

We protect your internet traffic from end-to-end in real-time so that no hacker, advertiser, or service provider can monitor your activity.

Bypass Censorship

Unfairly imposed internet restrictions are a thing of the past with secure access to websites and apps from anywhere on the planet.

What is the IPVanish Chrome VPN?

The IPVanish Chrome VPN is a virtual private network app for the Chrome operating system. You can still use IPVanish with your Chrome browser, however, even if you don’t use Chrome OS. To do so, simply download the IPVanish app on your operating system of choice, then connect to IPVanish VPN before you begin surfing the web with Chrome.

Keep in mind the IPVanish Chrome app is not a VPN Chrome extension. But it actually offers more security than a Chrome extension does. When you use VPN Chrome extensions, they only apply the benefits of VPN to your browsing experience. When you use the IPVanish app, though, you’ll get VPN protection for your entire internet connection – not just in your browser.

If you’re simply looking to change your IP address in-browser, though, you can use a SOCKS5 proxy, available with every IPVanish subscription. SOCKS5 proxies don’t use encryption, which makes them a faster alternative to VPN extensions.

Why Do I Need a VPN for Chrome?

A VPN secures your internet connection with encryption and prevents third parties from snooping on your internet activity. Additionally, a VPN masks your true IP address, providing you with greater online anonymity and freedom. When you use a VPN on your Chrome OS device, it provides several crucial daily benefits. This includes protection from:

Strangers on
public Wi-Fi

Safeguard your individual traffic and shield your sensitive personal data on Wi-Fi hotspots.

ISP
tracking

Shield your home network activity from ISP tracking and bandwidth throttling.

Online
censorship

Fight back unjust online censorship and wrongfully-applied web restrictions around the world.

Cybercriminals
and hackers

Stop pervasive online threats, including Man-in-the-Middle exploits, and evil twin attacks.

IPVanish Chrome OS VPN: FAQs

1. Can I use VPN on Chromebook?

Yes, you can absolutely use a VPN on your Chromebook. To do so, you’ll need a VPN that supports Chrome OS, like IPVanish. To get started, choose the IPVanish subscription plan that works best for you, then download and install our Chrome OS VPN app.

2. How do I enable VPN on Chrome?

Whether you’re using a Chrome OS device, or simply using the Chrome web browser, enabling a VPN on Chrome is easy with IPVanish. No matter which type of device you’re using, you’ll need an IPVanish account to get started.

3. Does Chromebook have a free VPN?

There may be VPN services that offer a free Chrome VPN app or browser extension, but you should steer clear of them. Free VPNs don’t charge their users, so they have to make money in other ways to turn a profit. These methods can make the service more difficult to use, and they can also violate user privacy. They include everything from frequent, disruptive ads, to data collection and selling. Additionally, free VPNs typically offer a limited number of VPN servers, slower speeds and poorer performance.
