VPN for School
Free VPN for school to unblock sites on the campus network
Blocked by your school's Wi-Fi filter? Add the free Zippa VPN to Chrome, pick a country, and reload — the blocked site loads through a fresh IP while your browsing stays private. Free on 4 locations, no card, no logs.
- Beat Wi-Fi filters
- No admin rights
- Hide your IP
What you can unblock
Reach the sites your school network blocks
School and campus Wi-Fi filters sites at the network level. Zippa gives your browser a way around most of them — no installer, no admin password.
Get past school Wi-Fi filters
Campus and school networks block sites at the network level. Route through Zippa and your browser reaches them as if you were on another connection.
Runs without admin rights
No installer to run and no system settings to change — Zippa is a Chrome extension, so it works on managed laptops and Chromebooks that lock down software.
Keep your browsing private
Sites and the network see the location you picked, not your real IP, so your browsing is harder to tie back to you on shared school Wi-Fi.
One click between classes
Pick a country in the toolbar, reload, and the blocked page opens. Click again to switch it off — no fiddly setup.
Works on any site you can reach
From research portals to sites blocked as a 'distraction', Zippa gives your browser a way through most network filters.
Free, honestly funded
Four locations free with no card. Premium adds 10+ countries and full speed — funded by subscribers, never by selling your data.

The honest bit
Free because Premium pays the bills — never because we sell your data
The usual catch with a free VPN is that it logs and sells your browsing to make money. Zippa doesn’t. Our free tier is funded by people who upgrade to Premium, and we keep a strict no-logs policy — we don’t record the sites you visit, your real IP, or your DNS queries. There’s simply nothing to sell.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions people actually ask before they install — answered plainly.
Add the Zippa extension to Chrome, click its toolbar icon, and choose a country. Your browser traffic reroutes through that location, so a site blocked on the school network loads normally. It works for most network-level and regional blocks.
Usually, yes — Zippa is a Chrome extension, so it doesn't need admin rights or an installer, which is what trips up desktop VPN apps on managed devices. If your school blocks extensions through device policy, that's set on the device itself and no in-browser tool can override it.
That depends on your school's acceptable-use policy, not on the law — using a VPN is legal in most countries. Zippa is a privacy and access tool; you're responsible for following the rules of the network you're on. Check your school's policy before you rely on it.
It depends who runs it. Plenty of free VPNs pay their bills by logging and selling browsing data — that's the real catch. Zippa is funded by people who upgrade to Premium, not by your data, and we keep a strict no-logs policy, so there's nothing to record or sell in the first place.
No. Add Zippa to Chrome, pick a location, and start browsing on the free plan — no account or card required to begin. You only create an account if you decide to upgrade to Premium, which starts with a 7-day free trial.
Unblock your school network from Chrome
Free on 4 unblocking locations, no card needed. Premium adds 10+ countries and full speed — with a 7-day free trial.
