VPN for Mac

Use a VPN on your Mac or MacBook to add privacy to your internet connection and connect through different server locations.

A VPN can be useful when browsing on public Wi-Fi, working remotely, or using your Mac from different locations.

How to Set Up a VPN on Mac

Choose a VPN Service

Select a VPN service that supports macOS. Check its supported macOS versions and available server locations.

Download the Mac App

If the provider offers a dedicated Mac application, download and install it on your device.

Launch the VPN

Open the VPN application after installation and complete the initial setup.

You can learn more about different locations through our Free VPN Servers page.

Why Use a VPN on Mac?

A VPN can be useful for:

  • Protecting your connection on public Wi-Fi
  • Adding privacy when browsing
  • Connecting through different server locations
  • Working remotely
  • Using a simple VPN connection on your MacBook

VPN App vs Manual Configuration

Mac users can typically choose between a dedicated VPN application and manual VPN configuration.

A dedicated application is usually easier because it handles the connection and server selection from one interface.

Manual configuration can be useful when a VPN provider supplies specific connection details and you prefer to manage the connection through macOS settings.

VPN for MacBook

The same general VPN setup can be used on supported MacBook models. Once the VPN application is installed, you can select a server and connect whenever needed.
