Why choose Surfshark VPN for your Chromebook?

Prevent activity tracking

Connecting your Chromebook to a VPN server is the key to staying safe online. Surfshark encrypts your traffic and hides your IP address so neither we nor anyone else can see what you do online.

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 offers unlimited simultaneous connections. With no impact on your internet speed, you can stay protected not just on your Chromebook but also on other devices or operating systems — all at the same time.

Stop ads with CleanWeb

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

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 3,200 dedicated servers in 100 countries. If you ever experience a slowdown, finding a less crowded server is as simple as can be.

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.

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

Dynamic MultiHop, our double VPN feature, routes your data through two VPN servers at once. By using Surfshark on your Chromebook, you double encrypt your information 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.

Should I use a free VPN for my Chromebook?

No, you shouldn’t use a free VPN on your Chromebook — or any other device, for that matter. While paid VPNs like Surfshark take protecting your privacy seriously, free VPNs pose loads of security risks. In 2022 alone, the data of 25 million users was leaked due to free VPNs’ flawed security measures. Don’t risk your privacy — choose Surfshark instead.

At Surfshark, we’re committed to your online security and privacy. Trust in our VPN service isn’t just expected — it’s verified, certified, and independently audited.

@surfshark Your customer service rocks!!!! I had a billing issue and I had two options, my preferred and not so preferred option. Your rep Mike was excellent and even went with my preferred billing option. I’m getting you for the two year plan.

Frequently asked questions

Can you use a VPN on a Chromebook?

You can use a VPN on a Chromebook if it supports Android apps. Alternatively, you can:

Use a VPN browser extension, though it will only protect your browser traffic and not the entire device;
Set up a VPN on your home router, which we highly recommend you do since it protects all devices on your network at once.

What VPN works with a Chromebook?

Most Chromebooks support Android apps, so any VPN with a dedicated Android app should work just fine. Additionally, a VPN extension can secure your browser traffic, though it won’t protect the entire device.

How do I add a VPN extension to Chrome?

Here’s how you download a Google Chrome VPN extension:

Open your Chrome browser.
Go to the Chrome Web Store.
Select Extensions on the left side of the screen.
Type in the name of a VPN service in the search bar (e.g., Surfshark).
Click Add to Chrome.

What’s the best VPN for Chromebook devices?

Look for a paid VPN service that’s compatible with Chrome OS, like Surfshark. With 3,200+ servers in over 100 countries, secure encryption, and user-friendly features, it provides a top-notch VPN experience for Chromebook users.

What VPNs work on school Chromebooks?

VPNs on school Chromebooks can be tricky since many schools restrict installing apps. If that’s your case, a browser VPN extension might be the only option, but it will only protect your browser traffic and not your entire device.

How can I get a VPN on a school Chromebook?

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 (though 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.
