Add NordVPN extension to Chrome

It depends. While the standalone Chrome extension functions without the native NordVPN app, you may still want to get one to stay fully protected.

By itself, the extension only encrypts Chrome traffic, which gives you more flexibility but doesn’t protect your outside activities. Meanwhile, the VPN apps encrypt all your Internet traffic, keeping your private data safe from prying eyes. Therefore, in addition to the Chrome extension, we recommend installing the NordVPN app for the same subscription price.

You can secure up to 10 different devices with a single NordVPN account. So if you already have the NordVPN extension for Chrome browser, take the chance to secure all of your personal or family’s devices as well. Simply download the NordVPN app on your computers and smartphones, or set it up on your home router to share the VPN connection with other devices on the network.

The NordVPN Chrome extension encrypts your HTTP traffic with the Transport Layer Security (TLS v1.2) protocol, widely used whenever a website needs to secure users’ communications.
