ChromeOS VPN Solutions
VPNs, or Virtual Private Networks are tools designed to tunnel all of your internet traffic over a secure connection to a network run by a VPN provider. There are countless VPN providers on the market that target the consumer and enterprise markets, and most of these existing solutions will work with your ChromeOS devices. There are three primary ways to setup a VPN on ChromeOS with the easiest methods being installing a Android Application or Chrome Extension, additionally ChromeOS does include a built-in OpenVPN, L2TP and WireGuard VPN client.
Android Applications
ChromeOS does have a built-in VPN client; however, it is far from the most intuitive application to setup, often requiring specialized and complicated configuration instructions. Fortunately, ChromeOS allows you to use Android VPN clients on your device instead of the native ChromeOS VPN client. There are hundreds of popular free and commercial VPN client applications that can be installed directly from the Google Play Store.
When an Android VPN client is started and has established a connection to the remote VPN server, ChromeOS will automatically route your internet traffic through the Android VPN client. When an Android VPN client is running, you will see a notification in your ChromeOS Notification Tray, and you will also see the VPN listed under "Network Settings" in the ChromeOS settings application.
