Why You Need a VPN on macOS Devices
Stay Safe on Public
Wi-Fi
Connecting your Mac to unsecured Wi-Fi in places like hotels or cafés can be risky. Cybercriminals might target public networks because they typically have a large number of users every day. A VPN encrypts your data before it leaves your Mac and reaches the Wi-Fi router, making it harder for bad actors to read your traffic.
Picture it: you open your Mac, sit down to stream a movie or play a game with friends, and lag suddenly spikes. Some ISPs might throttle your Mac’s connection to streaming or gaming servers. A VPN routes your traffic through a secure tunnel to reduce what your ISP can see and make activity-based throttling less likely.
Disclaimer: Some VPN users may seek to use a server in another country, where a certain streaming service is available, to connect to that service. While we cannot see what you are doing online due to our no-logs policy, our terms of service require compliance with relevant laws, including copyright.
Beat Bandwidth Throttling
Keep Your Browsing Private
When your Mac connects to the internet, it gets a unique IP address. Site admins, advertisers, and even the authorities might use your Mac’s IP address to track your habits and analyze your online habits. Connecting to a VPN server changes your IP address to match the server’s, making it more difficult to link your activity back to you.
Don’t worry about the network in your coworking space potentially compromising sensitive data you need to access. A VPN adds an extra layer of security to your MacBook or iMac’s connection. You can get your work files and resources without worrying they’ll be exposed.

FAQs
A VPN for Mac is a cybersecurity tool that helps enhance your online privacy on macOS devices. It changes your IP address to make it harder for advertisers and online snoops to link your activity back to you. It also encrypts your traffic, so your ISP, network admins, and cybercriminals can see fewer details about your connection.
Yes. A VPN adds a layer of security to your Mac’s internet connection, so you can keep your data private wherever you are. It routes your traffic through a secure, encrypted tunnel, so it’s great for staying safe on public hotspots or when using a coworking space.
Yes, Macs have a basic VPN client, but you need to configure it manually. It also doesn’t include an actual VPN service, so you still need to sign up with a VPN provider, set up the server details, and handle the configuration yourself. It’s much easier to download and install CyberGhost VPN’s macOS app and connect in just a few clicks.
Start by turning off your VPN, then type “what is my IP address” into Google. Note your current IP address. Next, turn on your VPN and connect to a server location. Check your IP address in the VPN app and compare the two IP addresses. If the new IP address is different from the first one, your VPN is working.
To turn off your VPN on Mac, open your VPN app and click Disconnect. Depending on the VPN you’re using, the option might be titled something like Stop or Turn off. You can also go to the menu bar and turn on Show VPN Status. Then, turn off the VPN connection from the menu bar.
