Frequently asked questions

How do I use a browser VPN for Chrome?

The best way to get a browser VPN for Chrome is to use a VPN proxy extension. To do that, add it via the Chrome Web Store and connect to a VPN server. Once you add NordVPN to your browser, simply click the “Quick Connect” button to stay safe while browsing, on public Wi-Fi, online banking, or traveling.

Changing your IP address with NordVPN’s extension for Chrome is easy. You can automatically connect to the best VPN server available using NordVPN’s “Quick Connect” feature, or manually choose from a list of 5700+ servers available in 60 countries.

Is a free VPN for Chrome good?

Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as the best free VPN extension for Chrome — using a free service comes with privacy risks, no matter how good reviews are. Most free VPNs have poor security, put data limits on your use, and bog down your speed. Some free VPN services even profit from selling your data to untrustworthy third parties, putting your security at risk.

Reputable VPNs for Chrome like NordVPN also offer additional features that might be useful. For example, the NordVPN Chrome extension automatically blocks WebRTC — a protocol that could leak your IP. Another neat feature is Threat Protection Lite — it blocks ads and protects you from entering malicious websites. You can control both in the settings panel of the extension.

How do I disable VPN in Chrome?

If you want to disconnect from a VPN Chrome extension (proxy) on your Chrome, open the NordVPN extension by clicking on it in the top right corner of your browser and click “Disconnect.” If you only want to disable VPN routing for specific domains, use NordVPN’s split tunneling feature. To do that, open the NordVPN extension, click “VPN settings,” select “Split tunneling”, and add the websites that you want to access without a VPN.

To delete NordVPN completely, right-click on the NordVPN extension and choose the “Remove from Chrome…” option.

Does Google Chrome have a built-in VPN extension?

Google Chrome doesn’t have a built-in VPN extension, but you can easily install a third-party VPN proxy extension for your Chrome browser. NordVPN’s browser extension for Chrome has VPN locations in 60 different locations, including the UK, the US, and many more.

How do I choose the best VPN for Chrome?

Here are a few things you should consider when looking for the best online VPN service for Chrome:

The best VPN is a fast VPN, so make sure it has fast connection speeds.
Make sure it includes ad-blocking and malicious website blocking functions — avoiding dangerous websites is one of the best ways to protect your data.
The best VPN extensions come from reliable providers that offer a multitude of servers, unlimited bandwidth, robust encryption, and quality customer support.
Make sure it’s lightweight and easy to use.
Avoid free VPN services as a lot of them may collect your data, flood you with ads, or simply don’t function properly.
Make sure you choose a VPN service with a strict no-logs policy.

How can I get a NordVPN extension for a specific Chrome version?
