VPN for Travel

Free VPN for travel to reach home sites from abroad

Away and a home site won't connect? Add the free Zippa VPN to Chrome, pick your home country, and reload — you look local again, and hotel Wi-Fi is covered. Free on 4 locations, no card, no logs.

Why travellers use it

Stay connected to home — and safer on the road

Foreign IPs get blocked by home services and open Wi-Fi is everywhere. Zippa gives your browser a home-country IP and an encrypted route in one click.

Reach home sites from abroad

When a home bank, account, or service refuses connections from another country, connect through your home location and it treats you like a local again.

Browse safer on hotel Wi-Fi

Hotel, airport, and hostel networks are open and shared. Zippa routes your Chrome traffic through an encrypted proxy so your browsing is harder to snoop on.

Get past regional filters

Some countries filter sites at the ISP level. Route through a location where the site is available and it loads in your browser as normal.

Hide your IP on the move

Sites see the location you picked, not your real IP, so your session is harder to trace back to you on networks you don't control.

Nothing to install on the road

Zippa is a Chrome extension, so it works the same on any laptop or Chromebook you travel with — no desktop app or admin rights needed.

Free, honestly funded

Four locations free with no card. Premium adds 10+ countries and full speed — funded by subscribers, never by selling your data.

How it works

Set it up before you fly, in three clicks

  1. 1

    Add Zippa to Chrome

    Install the free extension before you travel and pin it to your toolbar.

  2. 2

    Pick your home country

    Choose your home location to look local, or another country to get past a regional filter.

  3. 3

    Browse like you're home

    Your Chrome traffic reroutes and your IP is hidden — home sites load, open Wi-Fi is covered.

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.

  • Banks, government portals, and some accounts block or challenge connections from foreign IP addresses as a security measure. Connecting through your home country gives you a local IP again, so those sites treat you as a home visitor.

  • Yes. Those networks are open and shared, so routing your Chrome traffic through Zippa's encrypted proxy keeps your browsing harder to snoop on — and the same click hides your IP and gets you past many network filters.

  • Zippa protects your Chrome traffic, which covers the browsing most travellers do — accounts, bookings, and home sites. It isn't a whole-device VPN, so apps outside the browser aren't routed through it. Free covers the US, UK, Netherlands, and Singapore; Premium adds home locations like Germany, France, Japan, India, Australia, and Canada.

  • 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.
