When it comes to VPN extensions for Chrome, ExpressVPN works a bit differently. However, there’s nothing to worry about, as we’ll show you how to set-up and use ExpressVPN on your Chrome browser (as a VPN extension). Here’s all you need to know.

Note

To use ExpressVPN as a Chrome extension, you also must run ExpressVPN as a native application on your Windows, macOS, or Linux computer. ExpressVPN’s Chrome extension isn’t a standalone extension – so make sure to keep that in mind.

2. Then, click on any of the green-colored ‘Get ExpressVPN‘ buttons.

3. Select your subscription plan and fill out the required information.

4. When you pay for the subscription, expect to receive a confirmation email.

5. At this moment, return to ExpressVPN’s website (go to its homepage).

6. Click on ‘My Account‘ and provide your email and password.
