First, find out what your Chromebook can install1
A VPN browser extension covers only the tabs of that browser. To protect the whole device you need a client, and on a Chromebook that usually means an Android app. Not every Chromebook carries Google Play, according to Google's own help page, and an account issued by a school or an employer can have it disabled. So look under Settings for the option to install apps from Google Play. If it is not there, your model or account does not support it.
Three routes, from most to least complete2
- An Android client that reads a subscription link, if your Chromebook offers Android apps. Happ and v2rayNG are two names to look for. This covers the whole device.
- A Linux client, if your Chromebook lets you turn on the Linux environment. It is more work, and some school accounts forbid it.
- A browser extension that takes a proxy, covering only the browser. Useful for a quick job, not for apps.
With Android app support
Ask the Telegram bot for the trial link and copy it.
Install a client from the store your Chromebook offers and open it.
Add the link as a subscription and choose a location from Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Singapore, Dubai or London.
Switch it on and accept the prompt to create a connection.
Check the address on a page that shows your IP.
When the Chromebook belongs to a school
A managed Chromebook follows the rules of its administrator, who may block app installs, the Linux environment or extensions. If the settings are greyed out, that is a decision somebody made, and a free tunnel is not a reason to look for a way round it. Use a personal device for personal browsing, or ask the school what is allowed.
What the tunnel changes for a Chromebook
Things you open now leave through a server abroad. On hostel or cafe Wi-Fi the owner sees an encrypted stream. It does not change what your school can see on a managed device, since the device itself reports to the administrator. A school-managed device answers to its administrator, not to you, and whatever the administrator forbids stays forbidden.
The same goes for sign-ins. A Google account on a Chromebook syncs bookmarks, history and settings whatever address you appear from, so the tunnel does not make that browsing anonymous. Think of it as a change to the road your traffic takes, not to who is travelling.
A Chromebook also wakes from sleep quickly and often switches between networks, say from a hostel router to a phone hotspot. After such a switch, glance at the client and reconnect if it dropped.
Trial and payment
The first 10 days cost nothing and need no account; the bot hands over the link. Once they run out, a longer plan is bought through the bot with crypto only, and a card or UPI will be refused. Costs per plan are printed on the home page and, once more, in the bot. We keep no logs, which you cannot check from outside, so test what you can: address, location and the battery. Anyone selling a VPN, us included, has a stake in your choice, and the tests above are there so you need not take the page's word.
Questions
Why can I not find the Play Store on my Chromebook?
Support depends on model and account. Older or managed devices may lack it.
Would an extension alone cover a Chromebook?
For one browser, yes. For other apps, no.
Can a school see I am using a VPN?
On a managed device, possibly. We cannot speak for a school's setup; ask them.
Does the Linux route work for everybody?
No. It needs a Chromebook that supports it and an account that allows it.
What should I look for when picking a client?
The one your store offers. Check the publisher and the update date.
Can I reuse this link elsewhere, say on a phone?
Yes, with no limit on devices.
