No dedicated Le VPN app for Chromebook

Le VPN doesn't offer a native Chromebook app, but ChromeOS includes a built-in L2TP with IPSec + pre-shared key network type, so no extra software needs to be installed - it's a one-time settings configuration.

If you also use Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS, the Le VPN app is available for those platforms and handles everything automatically.

Manual L2TP/IPSec Setup on Chromebook

Configure a private network connection directly in ChromeOS settings.

Open network settings

Click the status area in the bottom-right corner of the screen and select Settings, then go to Network > Add connection > Add private network (labelled VPN on newer ChromeOS versions).

Fill in the connection details

Set Server hostname to your chosen server (e.g. fr.zeropointer.net for France), Service name to whatever label you like (e.g. "Le VPN France"), and Provider type to L2TP/IPSec with pre-shared key.

Enter the pre-shared key and credentials

Set Pre-shared key to levpnsecret, then enter your VPN username and password. Check Save identity and password if you'd like ChromeOS to remember them, then click Connect.

To disconnect

Open the network settings panel again, select your private network connection, and click Disconnect.

Once connected, confirm it worked by checking your IP address - it should show the VPN server's location, not your own. If it still shows your real IP, disconnect and reconnect.
