A VPN (Virtual Private Network) for Mac is a type of app for MacOS that increases online security by encrypting your internet traffic and hiding your IP address. When you use a VPN, your online activity is hidden, and you’re kept safe on public Wi-Fi.
Choose a VPN subscription that best fits your needs and create an account.
Download the Surfshark VPN app from our website or the App Store and install it on your Mac.
Choose a server or tap Quick-connect to connect to a nearby location with the fastest speeds.

Surfshark offers unlimited simultaneous connections. This means you can keep all your devices safe without having to count your connections.
MultiHop makes your online activity even harder to track by routing your internet traffic via two servers* and doubling the encryption — perfect for journalists protecting their sources and whistleblowers.
Surfshark has obfuscated servers that hide the fact that you’re using a VPN. Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) can typically see if you use a VPN, but Surfshark’s obfuscation blends the encrypted traffic in such a way that it looks like regular internet activity. As a result, even your internet provider won’t know you’re using a VPN.
The speed of your VPN connection is directly related to server crowdedness and the distance between you and the server. Surfshark offers thousands of servers in many locations, so you can stay safe online without sacrificing your connection speed.
Surfshark VPN doesn’t track what you do online, which is backed up by our strict no-logs policy — we don’t track or store your browsing history, data transfers, or other internet activities.
A protocol is a set of rules that ensure a smooth, secure, and reliable VPN operation. That’s why Surfshark uses only modern and secure VPN protocols such as WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2.
If your VPN connection drops, the Kill Switch cuts off your internet access. This feature works in the background at all times, meaning you don’t have to worry about activating it — simply enjoy protected connection, always.
With Surfshark’s vast network of 3,200+ servers that spans across 100 countries, you will definitely find an uncrowded server nearby. Most of the servers have 10 Gbps ports, which further ensures fast VPN connection speeds.

@surfshark seems to be the best bang for your bucks as far as VPNs go, and they work with some of my favourite content creators too. Unlimited amount of devices and affordable prices.

@surfshark Your customer service rocks!!!! I had a billing issue and I had two options, my preferred and not so preferred option. Your rep Mike was excellent and even went with my preferred billing option. I’m getting you for the two year plan.

When I am traveling, I use Surfshark to access the internet quickly and securely, works like a treat in China.
We love Surfshark because it is an easy-to-use app that you can download on all your devices.
