Quality VPN software for Chrome users.

Hoxx VPN Proxy is a high-quality VPN software that allows you to stay safe and anonymous as your use the Internet. Just like any other VPN service, it brings you numerous benefits. With Hoxx VPN Proxy, you'll be able to hide your real IP address, which can help defeat tracking attempts and lets you use the Internet in a more anonymous way.

The software uses 4,096-bit encryption, which protects your private data from being intercepted along the way as you browse the web. Finally, as it lets you change your IP address to that of a virtual location, you can access all of the content and websites that you want, even those that are limited to users in a specific region. With Hoxx VPN Proxy, you can unblock access to websites like BBC Sports, Hulu, Netflix and more.

Simple and Free VPN Tool

What sets Hoxx VPN Proxy apart from other VPN programs is that it's completely free to use with no limitations. All that you need to do to get started is to download and enable the Chrome extension. The software will do the rest of the work. There's no need to register and you won't have to pay for a monthly subscription fee.

Hoxx VPN Proxy is also available as a plugin for the Firefox browser. As it's a browser extension and not a program that you install on your PC, you can use it no matter which operating system you have. This makes Hoxx VPN Proxy available on any PC capable of running Chrome or Firefox, whether it uses any version of Windows, macOS or Linux. If you have an older PC that is having trouble running other VPN programs, you can try this one and there's a high chance that it'll work for you.

Quite Fast and Reliable for a Free Service

With Hoxx VPN Proxy, both the software and the associated VPN service are completely free to use. There are no limitations in terms of connection time or bandwidth. The software isn't just a free trial either, so you can use it for as long as you want. The service is supported by displaying small ads in the user window. Occasionally, a slightly bigger add will pop up as you use the service, but these popups can be dismissed in just one second.

In terms of reliability, the Hoxx VPN service is quite good. However, there have been reports of slow performance during times of peak usage. However, the average connection speed is still very good for a free service and outperforms many competitors.
