VPNs are an essential tool for staying secure and private online. They encrypt your internet traffic and hide your IP address, protecting your data from prying eyes. They also let you access geo-restricted content (Content that is blocked or limited based on the user's geographic location.).
In this post, we'll explore some of the top VPN Google Chrome extensions.

Hola VPN

Get extension

Free
  • Your use of Hola's Free Limited product is free of charge in exchange for safely using some of your device's resources (WiFi and very limited cellular data), on Windows and Android only when you are not using your device. This can be opted out.
  • Free version is a P2P network. Instead of connecting you to a dedicated VPN server in the country you choose, Hola routes your internet traffic through another user’s computer, called the exit relay.1 Essentially, you’re borrowing that user’s IP address — and it’s a two-way deal. When you create a free account, you agree to let Hola use a minimal amount of your computer’s processing and bandwidth so other users can borrow your IP address.
  • Logs data

  • Defeat ISP throttling
  • 80+ server locations
  • Unblock any website

Note: They have not mentioned anything about no-logs policy on their website. So we can assume that they store some information about you, probably IP address, browsing history etc..

Summary

When it comes to privacy and security, it’s better to choose a trusted provider. We recommend you choose one of the paid VPN’s and stay away from completely FREE one’s.
 
Every business has to make money. If they are offering their product for FREE, they usually will be making money in some other way. It might be through selling data or through other means.
 
If you are serious about your privacy and security, you can pick Express VPN or Nord VPN. If you want to use FREE offerings we recommend you to pick the one’s that have a FREEMIUM plan. One’s that provide their product completely FREE are risky. If you have to choose one that has a FREE plan go with Proton VPN.
