VPNs serve many purposes. One is to create a tunnel to visit each site without geographical restrictions and to maintain privacy and anonymity online on what is done on the internet. We have seen, in another article, the best free programs to install a VPN on Windows .
In this article, for those who want something less invasive, which can be used quickly only to visit certain websites so as not to be traced and without blocks of various types, we see some Chrome extensions that can pass the internet connection on a VPN . The extensions route the packets to the server of the company that manages the VPN and the connection to the Internet is established from that server. Internet traffic then passes through this remote server so that online services and websites will think that the connection only comes from there, without having any reference about our computer.

If you surf with Google Chrome you can have a free VPN to route traffic and overcome any limitation of the internet world with some extensions .
In addition to the security benefits of anonymous browsing and tracking protection, VPN extensions for Chrome also offer additional benefits over classic VPN programs. Compared to a full VPN app, a Chrome extension offers easy access to the service, with a single button to press in the extension bar at the top right.
1) TouchVPN is one of the most deserving Chrome VPN extensions, completely free, simple to configure and that is activated as soon as you install the extension, without the need to create accounts. You can choose up to seven server locations or you can use automatic selection. Once connected, TouchVPN shows some information such as the connection speed, the status of the blocked elements and a button to terminate the connection. It also comes with an advertising blocker, cookie blocker, malware blocker, WebRTC blocker and tracker blocker, for advanced protection (even if some sites may not see themselves correctly).
2) VeeVPN is an unlimited and free VPN, very minimalist. Once this extension is installed, access to the VPN is just a click away, with no customization option, except the choice of server location.
3) Windscribe VPN is a very simple free VPN for Chrome, where you can choose from many server locations, without any additional functionality.
4) ZenMate requires you to register an email address on the welcome page after installing the extension. The password is automatically generated on the next screen and can be changed. The extension activates automatically and is ready for use. The status of the VPN is visible from the shield icon on the address bar. From here you can also change the location of the VPN server to make the connection appear from New York / United States, Frankfurt / Germany, London / UK, Zurich / Switzerland or Kowloon / Hong Kong. Zenmate is free and, for now, offers unlimited traffic. ZenMate is a German company.
5) DotVPN is a great extension to use a free VPN without limits that allows to make anonymous the connection to the websites, encrypted, safe and with the possibility to choose between 12 countries to falsify the location and make it seem that we are connecting to the internet from another place. With DotVPN, one of the best VPNs in Chrome, you can open all websites, videos and streaming services without geographical restrictions, with traffic compression, encryption, total privacy of identity and IP address, ability to browse onion sites TOR network, integrated firewall. A click on the icon in the extension bar will help you learn more about the selected remote server and its location. You can use a menu to switch to another server and simulate an internet connection from the USA, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Japan and Russia.
6) Hola Better Internet is a service I had already talked about in another article, talking about how the plugin works to speed up and surf the internet faster. Hola uses a slightly different system than other VPNs and uses the connection of the same users to feed the traffic. Without needing to create an account, you can immediately use Hola after installing it on CHorme and browse all websites, including those blocked or obscured in Italy. Hola is an Israeli company.
7) Tunnelbear for Chrome makes it easy and automatic to access the internet via VPN to surf safely with an encrypted connection (very useful if you are connected by public wifi) and to visit obscured or inaccessible sites in our country. The connection can be simulated by several European countries including Italy, Spain, USA, England, France, Germany and others. The free account limits the ability to keep the VPN active for 500 MB of traffic per month.
8) Browsec is the most advanced free Chrome VPN extension that you can find, with a number of features that are usually only found in premium versions. The only limitation is in the number of servers available, otherwise speed, bandwidth and security are never limited.
9) BetterNet, of which I had already spoken in an article, offers one of the most fluid and fastest VPN experiences, without advertising, always free. The free version allows you to connect to only four server stations, but does not limit the bandwidth and the connection remains fast without slowing down.
10) Hide.me, based on the hide.me web proxy, to unlock the vision of obscured or blocked sites in a country.
