When you start talking about VPNs, there are generally 3 camps: those who don't know what I mean when I say VPN, those who know about it and have never used or installed one, and those who are aware of VPNs and are using one right this moment. For that final group, this article may not do much for you. But for those of you in the first two groups, we're genuinely hoping a quick run-through can help get you up and running with a VPN so that you can start browsing the web privately and securely whether in a browser or in an app.

have you clicked on this video I'm
0:01
freely assuming you're trying to get a
0:03
VPN setup on your Chromebook if you're
0:06
here and you're not sure what a VPN is
0:07
well it's pretty simple it's a Virtual
0:10
Private Network and it's just a way for
0:12
you to browse the Internet securely and
0:14
privately whether you're at home or on
0:16
the road and a lot of people for a lot
0:18
of different reasons need that kind of
0:20
security and so we want to step you
0:22
through the process of getting it set up
0:23
and working properly on a Chromebook
0:25
because there are ways to do it that are
0:26
only half-measures and they're only
0:28
going to get you halfway there and so we
0:30
want to make sure that if you're
0:31
watching this that you finish up this
0:32
video and know exactly how to make sure
0:35
all of your internet activity whether
0:38
it's in a browser or in an app is all
0:41
secure is all private as we get through
0:51
this video you're gonna hear us talk
0:52
about Nord VPN specifically you can use
0:55
lots of different VPNs but Nord is the
0:58
one that we go with it's the one that we
0:59
use and we really feel like it is
1:02
probably the best option for most people
1:04
and so if you'd like to learn more about
1:06
them you can go to Chrome on box comm
1:08
forward slash Nord VPN to get started
1:11
and get all signed up for your account
1:12
because if you watch to the end of this
1:14
video and you want to get VPN setup on
1:17
your Chromebook you're gonna need an
1:18
account so if you want to pause the
1:19
video and go do that right now great
1:21
will remind you of that URL as well at
1:24
the end of the video as we wrap up so
1:26
let's get into this there are two ways
1:28
that you can go about installing a VPN
1:30
on your Chromebook
1:31
one of them covers anything you do in
1:34
the Chrome operating system so anything
1:36
that you do basically in a Chrome
1:37
browser whether it's a PWA or not and
1:40
the other covers Android apps and
1:42
everything you do in the Chrome browser
1:44
so the only reason I mentioned both of
1:46
them are there are folks that don't have
1:49
access to Android apps and there are
1:51
people who choose to turn them off I've
1:52
done that before too so I want you to
1:54
know that if you don't have Android apps
1:56
you have an option that's gonna cover
1:57
your whole Chromebook and you're good to
1:58
go
1:59
but if you have Android apps installed
2:01
and you're using them you need to go the
2:03
Android method because any app that you
2:05
use that accesses the internet would not
2:07
be secure if you only use the extension
2:09
for Chrome so we're gonna start with the
2:11
extension then move to the Android app
2:12
so first
2:13
you're going to need to do is go to Nord
2:15
VPN or you can go to Chrome and voxcom
2:19
/ignore to VPN it's going to take you
2:21
right to the place you need to sign up
2:23
get signed up it doesn't take long they
2:25
just need a few basic information things
2:28
from you name that kind of stuff and
2:30
email address and things to get your
2:32
account set up and going and you can
2:34
choose multiple different things you can
2:36
choose to pay for a whole year at a time
2:37
or you can choose to just do one month
2:39
whatever it is you choose to do just get
2:41
an account going and make sure that you
2:42
have an account in good standing once
2:44
you get there you go to back to Nordby
2:47
pn go to my account just make sure you
2:49
see everything here and you can see on
2:51
my screen right now private secure
2:52
internet access is active you see that
2:54
active right there on the screen so you
2:56
want to make sure that that is the case
2:57
that you have an active account after
2:58
that you don't need to be in Nord VPNs
3:01
website anymore to move forward the next
3:05
thing you're going to need to do is
3:06
either open up yours your app tray or
3:09
just in your Omni box up there just type
3:12
Chrome Web Store or search it down here
3:17
web and as soon as you get in there
3:25
you're gonna search nor the VPN or the
3:28
VPN of your choice if you're going with
3:30
something like tunnel bear or something
3:31
like that and they have an extension you
3:33
install it and it's gonna be a very
3:35
similar setup we're gonna click Add to
3:38
Chrome let the extension install good
3:41
it's there we're gonna click on it and
3:44
this is the part where you will sign in
3:46
with the account that you just created
3:48
and then once you log in boom we're
3:51
already connected I hit quick connect
3:53
and if you want to check this just to
3:55
verify that you are being covered that
3:57
you're a privately searching the
3:58
internet you can before you click
4:01
connect go and just Google what is my IP
4:05
and it's gonna show you what your public
4:06
IP is then after that hit this quick
4:09
connect it's gonna take a second showing
4:12
hey you're in the United States you're
4:14
browsing traffic secure now go get open
4:17
up a fresh window go to what's my IP
4:19
you're gonna see a completely different
4:20
IP and you'll probably see a different
4:21
IP every time you open up
4:24
again because it's gonna kind of bounce
4:25
you around to some different servers and
4:27
that's kind of the point of a VPN it
4:29
keeps you from showing everybody what
4:31
what it is you're doing online so at
4:34
this point that's it I mean it's that
4:35
quick it's that simple done you are
4:37
you're browsing the Internet completely
4:39
secured if and when you choose to turn
4:42
it off again you just click the
4:44
extension and you hit disconnect and
4:46
it's that simple
4:47
your VPN is not turned off and your
4:50
browsing a little bit more publicly now
4:52
so it's cut and drive very simple and
4:55
it's honestly just as simple for the
4:57
Android folks so let's move into that
4:59
now we're gonna open up your Play Store
5:04
and you're gonna go up here in search
5:06
Noord
5:07
VPN you're gonna click install even just
5:13
a second to install and again I know it
5:15
seems counterintuitive but using the
5:18
amber adverse inand Google has even said
5:20
that yes this is the case the way that
5:22
the Android version secures traffic into
5:24
the Chromebook it secures it across all
5:27
your traffic on your Chromebook so again
5:28
if you have Android apps available I
5:30
don't care if you only have two of them
5:32
this is the route you need to go because
5:34
anything you do in that Android
5:35
container it will be susceptible to
5:38
outside traffic if you don't do this
5:40
method and again you can test me on this
5:43
go to what's my IP the only way to
5:45
really check it for instance on on the
5:48
Android side would be to install the
5:50
Android version of Chrome and you could
5:51
do what's my IP and you'll see that it's
5:53
the same as your chrome version until
5:55
you turn this on and then it will change
5:56
but even if you have north VPN on the
5:59
Chrome extension it will not change that
6:01
IP address in your Android Chrome
6:03
browser so again I can't stress that
6:06
enough I don't want you guys leaving
6:07
this video and thinking hey I put the
6:08
extension in I'm good to go don't watch
6:10
half this video watch this whole video
6:12
and make sure you do all the steps
6:13
anyway so we got the Android version up
6:15
we click login we didn't have to go full
6:18
page here same thing here I'm going to
6:21
login with the account that I've created
6:22
and just as simple as the Chrome
6:24
extension is this is pretty
6:26
straightforward you are gonna have to
6:28
give it some permissions that the
6:29
extension didn't ask for because it's
6:31
Android and you have to tell it yeah I
6:33
trust this application to be my VPN
6:35
because obviously if you go get some
6:37
Sketch
6:37
VPN you may be secure from traffic or
6:40
secure from eyes you know that are that
6:43
are sitting across from you at the
6:44
coffee house but who knows who you're
6:46
giving your stuff to and and Nord VPN is
6:48
trusted they're used across millions and
6:51
millions of devices and so again it's
6:53
it's another reason why we we say that
6:55
they should be the one you go with if
6:57
you're gonna go with a VPN so boom just
6:59
like that you're up and running and
7:01
everything is secure you can close this
7:04
this app out you don't have to leave the
7:06
screen up and running or anything and
7:08
you'll see in your notifications up here
7:14
yet right up there Nord VPN shows you
7:17
the server you're connected to it shows
7:19
you how fast your speeds are going at
7:20
that current time so you can kind of
7:23
just know at a glance hey I'm still
7:24
connected it doesn't matter that I have
7:26
this thing open or closed that's it I
7:28
mean that it's really straightforward
7:30
yeah there are a couple extra things to
7:31
agree to with the Android app but once
7:34
the Android app is installed again you
7:35
can check these things if you want to
7:37
everything across your Chromebook is now
7:39
secured so again I can't stress this
7:41
enough if you're using Android apps use
7:43
the Android app with the VPN that you
7:46
choose to go with and again we would say
7:49
we think you should choose to go with
7:51
noir VPN and for full transparency this
7:54
this video is brought to you by Nord VPN
7:57
and we partner with them because we
7:58
trust them we use Chromebooks and we
8:01
talked about Chromebooks that we like we
8:02
talked about services that we like and
8:05
that we actually use that we actually
8:06
trust and think that you guys would find
8:08
valuable so we just wanted to be really
8:10
clear with that that you know the reason
8:12
we're suggesting that isn't just because
8:15
we're partnering with them it's that we
8:16
really think that they have a quality
8:18
service that's gonna work really really
8:20
well for you but guys I hope this is has
8:22
helped make all of this clear I had to
8:25
do some research specifically for myself
8:27
whenever I was wanting to go ahead and
8:29
get a VPN set up and really start using
8:31
one and regularly use one as I browse
8:33
the Internet and I wasn't really exactly
8:36
sure what the difference in the Android
8:37
and the Chrome extension was and so
8:39
after I've done that research and
8:40
figured hey I didn't know it and I
8:42
didn't know anything about it it's it's
8:43
a fair assumption that a lot of people
8:45
out there probably don't know it either
8:46
I'm glad I figured it out so that we can
8:48
pass that stuff along to you hopefully
8:50
it helps
8:51
but that's all for this one if you liked
8:53
it give it a thumbs up hit the subscribe
