Protection For All Your Devices
What Is a VPN Chrome Extension?
A VPN extension is a lightweight VPN add-on for your Google Chrome browser. Like a full VPN app, it reroutes your browser traffic and masks your IP address so you can explore the web with more privacy. VPN browser extensions only help protect your browser traffic, though, unlike a full VPN app which covers your entire device.
PIA’s VPN Chrome extension takes your protection to the next level. You can set it to help prevent websites from accessing your camera, microphone, and location. You can also use our integrated MACE feature to block known ads, trackers, and malware.

Take Your Privacy to the Next Level

Strong Protection
Shield your personal identity and location to make it harder for online services to profile you based on your IP address. PIA’s Chrome VPN Extension gives you a new IP address from one of our secure network locations, helping you stay more private online.
RAM-Only Servers
Lean back and relax. Our global network of RAM-only servers never write information to a hard drive, and all browsing data is deleted with every reboot. Even if the authorities request browsing data, we have nothing to share.


No-Logs Policy
Browse with confidence knowing that PIA’s strict, court-proven No-Logs policy has been independently audited by Deloitte. We publish quarterly transparency reports to show exactly how we’ve protected your data.

When Should I Use the Chrome VPN Extension vs the VPN App?
When you’re casually surfing the web or streaming, use the Chrome Extension. It masks your IP for more privacy and blocks known trackers and ads while giving you a streamlined connection. When privacy really matters, and especially when you’re using multiple apps, you’ll need the full VPN.


Isn’t Chrome’s Incognito Mode Enough?
Chrome’s incognito mode doesn’t offer much protection at all. It only clears cookies and trackers and stops the browser from recording new ones. It doesn’t stop third parties from seeing your data. Only a VPN extension for Chrome helps to shield your personal data online.
VPN for Chrome: FAQ
If you’re having issues getting a VPN to work on Chrome, your VPN might need an update. Allowlisting your VPN on your antivirus can also solve the problem. If you’re having trouble changing your location, try clearing your browser cookies, as some cookies store information about your location, which sites can still read. Finally, make sure you’re using a reputable VPN like PIA.
Most VPN apps make it easy to see when your VPN is running. When you open the app or the extension, it will usually say Connected and display the VPN server location you’re connected to. You can also use a free IP address checking tool to see your digital location. If it’s different from your actual location, you’re connected to a VPN server.
A VPN better secures all your device traffic, including your shopping, streaming, gaming, banking, and social media apps. A VPN extension is a lightweight alternative that secures only your browser traffic. To protect the traffic across all your apps, you need a full VPN app. If you only need some extra privacy and security when browsing, an extension would do the job.
PIA offers a great range of safety features. In addition to masking your IP address, PIA VPN for Chrome can block known trackers, ads, and malware, and stop your browser from auto-filling your address and credit card details. You can also set the extension to limit website access to your camera, mic, and location. Your subscription also gives you access to our full VPN app.
PIA’s Chrome VPN extension makes it super-easy to change your IP address right from within your browser. To start, subscribe to PIA VPN and download the extension from the Chrome Web Store. Then, open your browser and click the puzzle piece icon at the top right of your screen to find the PIA extension and sign in. Select your preferred server location, and click connect.
A Chrome VPN extension can slightly affect browsing speed because it reroutes your connection through a remote server first. With PIA VPN, you probably won’t even notice the difference. Our 10-Gbps next-gen servers are built to support fast, stable connections throughout our global network.
