Our Android app officially supports Chromebooks and offers advanced features carefully designed to improve your online security.
Secure Core protects your connection by routing your traffic through multiple servers before it leaves our network, defending you against advanced, network-based attacks.
Secure Core servers are located in hardened data centers in Switzerland, Iceland, and Sweden, protected by strong privacy laws, and operated on Proton`s dedicated networks.
A VPN kill switch keeps your IP address safe if something goes wrong with your VPN connection. If your VPN connection fails, the kill switch will prevent your device from connecting to the internet until your device reconnects to a VPN server.
NetShield speeds up your connection and protects you from malware by filtering out images, scripts, and other resources that are from domains known to host malware. Available for VPN Plus and Unlimited users, NetShield can also block online trackers and ads.
We do not keep any logs that can identify what you do online
Our Chromebook app will never accidentally expose your real IP address
Anyone can review and verify our apps code

The Proton VPN app for Chromebook has been specifically engineered to be secure, fast, and easy to use. You can use Proton VPN to stream your favorite shows, share files over BitTorrent, access censored content and protect your privacy.
In order to do all this, it is important to offer tools that people will actually use and find useful. Founded by CERN scientists, Proton VPN has thoughtfully re-engineered our fully-featured Android app to ensure it runs flawlessly on Google Chromebooks.
The easiest way to install our app is from the Play Store. If you prefer to avoid Google, then our app is also available on F-Droid or can be downloaded as an APK on GitHub.
All newer Chromebooks support Android apps out-of-the box. On most older Chromebooks, Android support can be enabled by going to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play Store -> Turn on.
Open the App Launcher to run the app, sign in, and select the Quick Connect button at the bottom right of the app. It's as easy as that. Alternatively, you can pick a particular country or specialized server (P2P or Tor).
You can use the Proton VPN Chromebook app to access content blocked by your internet service provider, government, workplace, or college. To access it, simply connect to a VPN server in an area where that content is not censored. If you have a VPN Plus or Proton Unlimited account, you can also access popular streaming services by connecting to a Plus server.
Proton VPN operates over 1,000 servers in more than 60 countries around the world, so there will always be a VPN server nearby to provide you with a secure, fast connection. Users with a VPN Plus or Proton Unlimited plan can access our large and expanding network of high-speed 10 Gbps Plus servers.
The Quick Connect feature in our Chromebook app automatically chooses the fastest server available for your location. You can also use the server load information shown next to each server’s name to help you manually select the fastest server for your needs.
