Hit www.kqzyfj.com/lh101gv30v2IQSKRJMKIKLNNOLRQ to fully set up HMA L2TP VPN for Chrome OS by yourself. Learn more?
If you're running Chrome OS (e.g. on Chromebook, on a virtual machine, etc.), follow the steps below to create a L2TP or OpenVPN based VPN connection. Note that when you want to connect simply via the ChromeOS GUI, you'll have to use L2TP protocol. For using OpenVPN protocol, you'll have to use the console which might require that you get into developer mode. How to do this is explained below.
L2TP on ChromeOS
Setting up a VPN Chromebook (quick intructions)

2. In the list that appears, select Private networks.
3. Click Add private network.
4. In the box that appears, fill in the information below.
Server hostname: One of the L2TP server IPs hidemyass.com/vpn-config/l2tp/

Provider type: Select L2TP/IPsec + Pre-shared key.
Pre-shared key: HideMyAss (case sensitive!)

Password: Your PPTP password (not account password) can be found in the VPN control panel via "Download & Setup" -> "Connect without software - PPTP & L2TP
5. Click Connect.
Step by step tutorial with screenshots
First, rightclick the time-bar in the bottom right of your desktop.
The settings overview will appear.
Here, click "Settings".
We want to create a new private network connection, so:
please select "Add connection" and
and then select "Add private network...".
The "Add private network" window will appear. Here, please enter:
Server hostname: One of the L2TP server IPs hidemyass.com/vpn-config/l2tp/
Service name: Anything you want, e.g. "HMA L2TP VPN"
Provider type: L2TP/IPsec + pre-shared key
Pre-shared key: HideMyAss (attention, case sensitive!!)
Username: Your VPN account username
Password: Your PPTP password (not account password) can be found in the VPN control panel via "Download & Setup" -> "Connect without software - PPTP & L2TP
Leave everything else to default (like in the following screenshot).
Now click "Connect" and Chromium will attempt to connect to the VPN server you chose.
While Chromium is still connecting, you'll see this icon next to the private network connection you just created
Once the connection has been made, the icon will change to
You should now see the icon, which means that the connection has successfully been made.
You can now select "Network options..." to get into a status window of the newly created connection.
Or you can select "Disconnect" at the bottom of that menu, to disconnect from the VPN again.
This is the "Network options..." window that shows you additional info about the connection, and allows you to set proxy-settings (in case you're connected to the internet through a local proxyserver).
You can disconnect here as well.
That's all. To verify your current IP, go to a website like
ipaddress.com
Additional Notes
There have been reports of a bug making your VPN experience a bit annoying: about every 5 minutes, it automatically disconnects from your VPN and you can't reconnect unless you log out and in again, or delete your VPN and configure it again.
The Chrome OS developers are aware of this problem. Star this issue in order to get it fixed earlier.
A workaround for now is opening a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and starting an endless ping using ping google.com. This seems to work fine for affected systems.
