Free VPNs can be tempting, but the money you save often comes at the cost of your privacy. A free VPN service does not have the resources to provide a top-notch service.
Your data shouldn’t be capped by a privacy tool. Use a VPN that allows you to use the internet without limiting it.
Free VPNs simply don’t have the resources to keep speed drops to a minimum. Forget constant loading screens with Surfshark.
Don’t let others profit off of your data. Choose a VPN like Surfshark that doesn’t track your data.
It’s simple, free VPNs have to worry about monetising your data before they can focus on securing it. And when it comes to data, “monetising” and “securing” are often at odds with each other.
Don’t settle for the same overloaded servers, invest in a VPN that has the means to expand their server list. Surfshark even has five Aussie servers and counting.
Pick a VPN that can keep up with the latest security patches and protocols so your privacy is never falling behind.
Life online can be unbearable without a proper ad blocker. Surfshark VPN has this ripper feature called CleanWeb that blocks malicious ads and trackers. That’s yet another layer of defense against parasitic internet marketing!
What if your VPN connection drops out? You might end up unknowingly surfing the web without any safeguards. To avoid that, a Kill Switch is an automatic safety net feature that will stop your data from leaking as it reconnects you to the VPN.
Sometimes you don’t want your ISP to know you’re using a VPN. Or you might be facing restrictions that block VPN use. Camouflage mode will be right up your alley. It uses obfuscation to make your traffic look like regular traffic. With it, it can't be proven you're using a VPN.
With Surfshark VPN, you can choose between using WireGuard, OpenVPN, or IKEv2 to secure your connection. WireGuard is good for most uses, but you may have specific needs that are better served by other protocols. Don’t fret: switching between them is easy!
A small but much-appreciated feature of our macOS app is its dark mode. Only vaguely related to the Dark Side, it cuts down the number of photons that sear your retinas as you’re looking for that one server that unblocks that website you fancy.
For added security, why not connect via two VPN servers? This makes it a lot harder to track you online, even using very sophisticated methods. And in some cases, it might even improve your VPN speed by routing your traffic via faster network connections.
There are no good free VPNs for any operating system. A paid VPN service will always be better than a free one. Their funding model leaves them unable to ensure protection against the latest security threats, and it encourages underhanded and malicious behavior to generate funds. The best you can do, as far as a free Mac VPN goes, is get a free trial of a premium VPN.
All operating systems have inbuilt VPN functionalities. What they don’t include is a VPN server to connect to, which is a vital piece of the whole VPN system. The native OS VPN is also not as easy to use as it’s meant for advanced users with specific needs.How to get a VPN for Safari?
If you have Surfshark VPN running on your Mac, anything you do on Safari will be automatically protected. Here’s what you need to do to make that happen:
While Apple prioritises the privacy and security of its operating system, no one’s completely safe online. The computer you have doesn’t determine the threats you might come across while browsing the web. Apple knows that; that’s why they support VPNs on their devices.
With a VPN, you can surf the internet in private, secure your data so that third parties can’t reach it, and access geo-blocked websites. VPNs also block trackers and invasive advertising, allowing you to enjoy a cleaner digital space.
There are a lot more benefits that VPNs can offer, and it’s no surprise that this tool has become essential for many internet users.
Surfshark works on all kinds of devices, including computers, cell phones, smart TVs, and streaming media players. Surfshark can be installed on as many devices as you like.
Yes. Although the app only functions from macOS 10.15 and up, you can always set up a VPN service with a manual connection on either an older Mac or your router that will cover every device you use. That way, you will still be able to enjoy the benefits of a secure connection no matter what device you’re on.
Yes, using a VPN on a Mac is completely safe, as long as you choose the correct service. The number of servers and locations, connection speeds, added security measures, and the app’s ratings are all things to consider. Also, check to see if the service collects or sells your information to third parties. Stay away from free VPNs to stay safe.
There’s no specialised VPN for Mac products. However, any mainstream VPN that supports major platforms should work.
One Surfshark subscription will cover all your Mac and iOS devices and ensure that your privacy is safe with Surfshark’s best-in-class encryption.
