Australian sites from abroad
Travelling or living overseas, Australian shops send you to another country's store or show prices in another currency, and some Australian sites only work from Australia. With an Australian address in the browser, you get the Australian site, in Australian dollars.
Prices and search results in Australia
Shops and software often charge Australia differently from the UK or US. An Australian tab beside your own shows both prices at once, so you can see the difference for yourself.
For sellers and marketers, an Australian address shows the Google results and ads people in Australia get for your words, and your own site as they see it.
Free, and Australia is included
Australia is one of Free's 6 countries (the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the United States, Japan and Australia), with unlimited data and no timer. Premium adds all 180 countries, any number of country tabs and more speed.
Good to know
- It covers Chrome, Edge and Firefox, not other apps on your computer or phone.
- Some sites also go by your account, card, language settings or delivery address, not just your IP address.
- Some services' terms restrict using a VPN to change region. Check them before you rely on it.
- No VPN makes you anonymous: sites still know you when you sign in.
Questions
Is there a free Australia VPN with no data limit?
Yes. Australia is one of ZoneBlade Free's 6 countries, with unlimited data, no account and no ads.
How do I get an Australian IP address in Chrome?
Add ZoneBlade, choose Australia and switch it on. Check the address at zoneblade.com/ip.
Can I use an Australian VPN for just one tab?
Yes. With Each tab, name a Chrome tab group “AU Australia” and only its tabs browse from Australia. One country tab at a time is free.
Will Google show me google.com.au results?
With an Australian address, Google chooses results for Australia. Your language settings and Google account still count, so a fresh tab group with its own sign-ins gets closest.
Is it legal to use a VPN in Australia?
Yes, using a VPN is legal in Australia. What you do with it still has to be legal, and some sites' own terms limit it.
