Why choose Surfshark VPN for Chromebook?

Prevent activity tracking

A Chromebook VPN is key to staying safe on the web. Surfshark encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP (Internet Protocol) address, shielding your online activity from prying eyes — even on public Wi-Fi.

Auto-connect to the fastest server

Although we have plenty of servers, you won’t need to waste time searching for the best one — Surfshark’s Auto-connect feature automatically provides the fastest connection, regardless of your location.

Secure all your devices at once

Surfshark VPN for Chromebook offers unlimited simultaneous connections. Stay protected on ChromeOS and all major operating systems at the same time, with minimal impact on your internet speed.

Install with ease

Setting up a VPN on your Chromebook doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Surfshark’s complete security suite is extremely easy to install, giving your online security an instant boost.

Personalize your security with Bypasser

With Surfshark’s Bypasser split-tunneling feature, you can choose which apps or services bypass the VPN connection. This can improve performance, making it easier to access services that don’t require complete VPN protection.

Tap into an expansive server network

Surfshark offers more than 4,500+ dedicated servers in 100 countries. If you ever experience a slowdown, finding a less crowded server is as simple as can be.

Block ads with Clean Web

Surfshark’s Clean Web feature acts as an ad blocker, stopping ads and trackers from compromising your security. This keeps your surfing experience smooth at all times.

Stay safe with kill switch

Surfshark’s kill switch instantly disconnects you from the internet if your VPN connection drops. This prevents accidental data exposure or leaks, keeping your Chromebook secure at all times.

Get double protection with Dynamic MultiHop

Multi Hop, our double VPN feature, routes your data through two VPN servers at once. By using Surfshark on your Chromebook, you double the encryption for enhanced privacy.

Disclaimer: Please note that using Surfshark services for any illegal activities is strictly forbidden and violates our Terms of Service. Make sure that any use of Surfshark services for your particular activities conforms to all relevant laws and regulations, including those of any service providers and websites you access using Surfshark.

FAQ

Yes, you can use a VPN on most Chromebooks either through an Android app, a Chrome extension, or a manual configuration. A VPN helps protect your privacy on public or untrusted networks and allows you to securely access your home content while traveling.

Most major VPN providers support Chromebooks through Android apps or Chrome extensions. Always choose one that offers strong encryption and a clear, transparent privacy policy — just like Surfshark.

You can add a VPN extension by visiting the Chrome Web Store, searching for your provider’s official extension, and selecting Add to Chrome. After installing it, sign in and choose your preferred settings.

The best option depends on what you value most — look for reputable providers that offer strong security, good performance, and dedicated Chromebook support. Avoid free VPNs with unclear data practices, as they may compromise privacy.

School-managed Chromebooks typically restrict installations, so only VPNs approved and enabled by the school’s administrator will function properly. This is to ensure device security and compliance with school policies.

To get a VPN on a school Chromebook, you can download a VPN app like Surfshark from the Google Play Store or install a VPN browser extension from the Chrome Web Store (note that this will only secure your browser traffic). If both options are blocked, you may need to speak with your school’s IT department, as some schools have strict restrictions on VPN usage.
