SANTIAGO ENDPOINTFree VPN for Chile
VPNmine's Santiago server gives any VPNmine app a Chilean IP address for free, over a WireGuard tunnel encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305. We record which server you used and when, never the sites, lookups or content. For Chilean services from abroad, in the first country to write net neutrality into law.
What people use it for
- Reach Chilean banks, broadcasters and public services from abroad
- Encrypt everything you send over public and hotel Wi-Fi
- Keep your browsing out of the connection records providers must keep
- Test how a page prices or behaves for a visitor in Chile
Estimated round trip

Estimates from route distance, not measurements. Your provider's routing decides the real figure, and our speed test measures it in about twenty seconds.
Why Santiago
Chile is a very long, very thin country and Santiago is where its networks meet: the main exchange points, the backbones of every large operator and most of the population are all in the central valley. The Pacific cables land at Valparaíso, an hour away, including a direct cable to Los Angeles that gives Chile a shorter path to the US West Coast than most of South America has to anywhere in the United States. Buenos Aires is across the Andes and close.
Neutrality, and what the law asks providers to keep
Chile was the first country in the world to legislate net neutrality, in 2010, so providers here may not block or discriminate between lawful traffic, a VPN included. In the other direction, the Criminal Procedure Code requires telecommunications companies to keep a record of which IP addresses their subscribers used, for a period the 2022 cybercrime law lengthened, so the fact of a connection is recorded even though its contents are not. The data protection law of 2024 replaces a statute from 1999 and creates an independent authority.
What changes with the tunnel up
Your provider sees an encrypted stream to one VPNmine address in Santiago and nothing about its contents, and the record it keeps shows a connection to that address rather than to the sites you actually opened. Sites see the Santiago server. From Buenos Aires the exit is roughly 20 to 35 ms away; from the US West Coast expect 100 to 130 ms, which is fast for a route that crosses the equator.
Confirm it rather than assume it
Connect to Santiago, then check what changed. Our IP checker shows the address and country sites now see. The DNS leak test shows whether your domain lookups are still going to your own provider, which is the most common way a tunnel protects less than it appears to. The WebRTC leak test catches the browser handing out your real address through an API the VPN never sees.
What we store while you are connected is the same in Chile as everywhere else: which server the session used and when, and nothing about the traffic. The full list is in the privacy policy.
Chile VPN questions
How do I get a Chilean IP address for free?
Install VPNmine on your desktop, phone, TV or browser, sign in, and choose Chile from the server list. The app opens a WireGuard tunnel to our Santiago server, and every site you open afterwards sees that server's address instead of yours. No charge, no advertising and no card required.
Are VPNs legal in Chile?
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.
Is Santiago a fast exit from the United States?
Faster than its distance suggests. A direct cable from Los Angeles lands at Valparaíso, so the West Coast is roughly 100 to 130 ms away, and Miami about the same via the Pacific and Caribbean routes. That is a long way in absolute terms, so pick Santiago because you need a Chilean address rather than for speed.
Does my Chilean provider still see what I browse?
No. It sees encrypted traffic to a single VPNmine address, plus how much you sent and when. The IP record it is required to keep shows that connection, not the sites behind it. Confirm that your DNS lookups go through the tunnel too, using the DNS leak test, or the provider still sees which domains you resolve.
