FAQs

Do you need a VPN on Mac?

If you use unsecured public Wi-Fi, bank or shop online, or share sensitive data over the internet, you need a VPN to help secure your connection and protect the information you send and receive.

Do Macs have a built-in VPN?

Macs don’t have a built-in VPN. But they do have a VPN interface utility within the Network section of System Preferences/Settings that enables you to manually configure a VPN if you have the right credentials and other details needed to connect directly to a VPN server.
