Can you setup a VPN on a Chromebook?

If you’re looking to add an extra layer of security to your Chromebook or want to access region-locked content, you can do so by setting up a VPN. In this post, we’ll show you how to set up a VPN on your Chromebook in just a few simple steps.

First, you’ll need to sign up for a VPN service. We recommend ExpressVPN as they have servers in 94 countries and offer a fast and reliable service.

Once you’ve signed up for a VPN service, you’ll be given instructions on how to download and install the software. Follow the instructions carefully as each provider will have slightly different steps.

Once the software is installed, launch it and sign in with your account details. Next, connect to a server of your choice. We recommend choosing a server that’s close to your current location for the best connection speeds.

Now that you’re connected, all of your internet traffic will be routed through the VPN’s servers. This means that your IP address will be hidden and any restrictions placed on websites based on your location will be bypassed.

One last thing to note is that while most web browsers will work with a VPN without any issues, some apps may not function correctly if they’re trying to access region-locked content (e.g., Netflix). In these cases, you’ll need to use an app specific proxy which we’ll cover in another post soon!

If you’re a Chromebook user, you may be wondering if it’s possible to use NordVPN on your device. The good news is that it is! Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up NordVPN on your Chromebook:

First, make sure that your Chromebook is running the latest version of Chrome OS. Next, head over to the NordVPN website and sign up for a subscription. Once you’ve done that, download the NordVPN app for Chrome from the Google Play Store.

Once the app has been installed, launch it and log in with your account credentials. You should then see a map showing all of the available servers. Choose one that you want to connect to and click on the “Connect” button.

That’s it! Once you’re connected, you’ll be able to browse the web anonymously and securely with NordVPN.


Worth knowing

Yes, you can use a VPN with a Chromebook. Chromebooks have built-in support for VPNs that use Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2). IKEv2 uses a pre-shared key (PSK), user certificates, or Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) with a username and password to set up the secure tunnel.

There are a few different ways that you can connect a Chromebook to a desktop computer. One way is to use an Ethernet cable to connect the two devices together. This will work if your Chromebook has an Ethernet port and your desktop computer has an Ethernet port as well. Another way is to use a USB cable to connect the two devices together. This will work if your Chromebook has a USB port and your desktop computer has a USB port as well. Finally, you can also use Bluetooth to connect the two devices together. This will work if both your Chromebook and your desktop computer have Bluetooth capabilities.
