How can I get a Chilean IP address?
Also asked as: How do I get a Chile IP address for free? · How do I connect to a Chile VPN server?
Direct answer
Connect to a VPN server located in Chile. Install VPNmine, sign in or skip, and choose Chile from the server list; the app opens an encrypted tunnel to VPNmine's Santiago server and every site you open sees a Chilean address. It is free, with no ads and no card. Santiago is where Chile's networks meet, an hour from the cable landings at Valparaíso.
The steps
Install VPNmine on your desktop, phone, TV or browser, sign in or skip, and pick Chile from the server list. The app opens a WireGuard tunnel to the Santiago server, and every site you open afterwards sees that server's address instead of yours. To confirm, open the IP checker on this site with the tunnel up: it should report Chile.
Why Santiago
Chile is long and thin and its networks converge on Santiago, an hour from the Pacific landings at Valparaíso, where a direct cable to Los Angeles gives the country an unusually short path to the US West Coast. Buenos Aires is 20 to 35 ms away. Chile wrote net neutrality into law in 2010, so providers may not block or throttle a tunnel.
What a Chilean address does and does not do
Sites and services see a visitor from Chile, so anything that routes, prices or gates by country treats you as one, and your own network and provider see only encrypted traffic to one VPNmine address. It does not defeat account-based identification, and streaming platforms flag address ranges registered to hosting companies, so treat catalogue access as something to test rather than assume. From Buenos Aires or Lima expect roughly 20-45 ms of added latency; from Los Angeles or Miami 100-140 ms.
Yes, and Chile's net neutrality law of 2010 goes further than most by prohibiting providers from blocking or discriminating against lawful traffic, which includes a VPN tunnel. What is unlawful stays unlawful regardless of the tunnel. The location page has the rest.
