We ranked 10 macOS VPNs on price, servers, privacy and Apple Silicon support. Every figure comes from the provider’s own website or App Store listing.
VPNFast is our own app and it sits at number one — we say so up front, and it is scored against the same four criteria as every other VPN on this page.
by VPNSuperFast
1,500+ servers across 190+ countries with unlimited bandwidth, a strict no-logs policy, and a kill switch and split tunnelling built into the macOS app.
NordVPN: VPN Fast & Secure
The strongest all-rounder. NordLynx holds its speed over long distances and the no-logs policy has been audited repeatedly. There is no free tier.
Proton VPN: Fast & Secure
The privacy pick, and the best free plan here. Swiss-based, open-source and independently audited; the free tier is limited to one device.
Surfshark VPN: Fast & Secure
Best value for a household — one subscription covers unlimited devices on a fast RAM-only network, with ad blocking bundled into the Mac app.
ExpressVPN · Secure & Fast VPN
The most polished Mac client, and the easiest to hand to a first-time VPN user. Every server runs from RAM and wipes on reboot.
VPN by Private Internet Access
Unlimited devices on a single subscription, open-source apps, and a no-logs policy that has been tested in court. Coverage includes all 50 US states.
CyberGhost: Safe & Private VPN
Cheap and beginner-friendly, with one-click profiles for streaming and one of the largest networks here. Its 45-day refund is the joint-longest here — the monthly plan gets 14 days.
Turbo VPN Private Browser
One of the largest networks on this page, with a free tier and a straightforward Mac app. The Gold plan covers 10 devices; Platinum doubles that to 20.
VPN Proxy Master - Super VPN
A big, long-running network with AES-256 encryption, a kill switch and DNS leak protection. No free tier — the entry price is the 30-month plan.
VPN Hotspot Shield: Secure VPN
A long-established name with a free tier and the joint-longest refund window here. The network is smaller than the top picks, but the Mac app is simple and quick to set up.

Transparency: VPNFast is made by VPNSuperFast, who also operate this guide. We disclose that at the top of the page, on its card and in the comparison table. Ratings shown for the other VPNs are their live App Store scores; the rating for VPNFast is supplied by VPNSuperFast. Links to other providers may earn us a commission, which never changes the order they appear in.
