Yes. No Chilean law prohibits VPNs, and companies, universities and public bodies use them every day for remote access. Chile was also the first country in the world to put net neutrality into law: Law 20.453 of 2010 bars internet providers from arbitrarily blocking or discriminating against lawful content.

Some blocking still happens. In September 2025 the Supreme Court ruled that online gambling is illegal unless a law expressly authorises it, and in September 2026 Subtel, the telecoms regulator, told the main internet providers to block a list of betting sites. Reaching such sites through a VPN or proxy does not make them legal.

A VPN does something more modest: it encrypts your traffic and swaps your IP address for one from the location you choose. What Is My IP shows the address sites see right now, and our guide on how a VPN works covers the basics.
