Download the best VPN for Mac (Apple)

A VPN on your Mac will ensure that when you go online, you can do so with privacy and security. By connecting to any of our VPN server locations across the globe, you can hide your device's IP address, protect your data on unsecured Wi-Fi networks, and access blocked websites.

It’s easy! Simply subscribe to ExpressVPN, download the app to your device, and press the “On” button on the screen.

While macOS provides the option to connect to a VPN server in System Preferences, it is technically not a VPN service. It is actually a conduit that connects to third-party VPN services like ExpressVPN.

Although Apple’s iCloud Private Relay is designed to protect your privacy by sending your online traffic through two secure internet relays, it only does so when you browse the web using Safari. It doesn’t offer any device-wide encryption or unblock websites or content that’s not available in your region.

Our VPN security app provides an additional layer of security between your Mac and the internet so you can browse, shop, and stream content privately and securely. In addition to shielding your identity from online snooping or data mining, a VPN also unblocks websites and content that may not be readily available in your region due to censorship or firewalls from your school or office network.

Yes! ExpressVPN is available on a wide array of devices including computers, smartphones, and smart TVs and streaming media players. You can install ExpressVPN on as many devices as you wish, and up to five devices can be connected to ExpressVPN simultaneously using the same subscription. Or install ExpressVPN on your Wi-Fi router to connect even more.

ExpressVPN is first and foremost a privacy company and therefore stores no activity logs and no connection logs. ExpressVPN also never stores any data that would allow anyone to trace a specific network activity or behavior back to an individual user.

Although there are free VPNs and proxy services, they are not recommended as they do not offer the same privacy and security benefits of a paid VPN. Many do not work as advertised, some may even sell your data, and most will leave your networks vulnerable to attack.
