What is the best free VPN for Mac?

If you want a free VPN, VPNFast (our own app) has a free tier with no sign-up, and Proton VPN offers a strong free plan too. Free plans suit everyday browsing and public Wi-Fi; paid plans add more servers and streaming.

Do these VPNs work on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)?

Yes — all the VPNs on this page run on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Check each provider's macOS requirements before installing.

A free VPN is safe when the provider has a clear no-logs policy and doesn't sell your data. Prefer VPNs on the Mac App Store and with audited privacy.

Which VPN is cheapest for Mac?

On long-term plans, Private Internet Access is the cheapest paid option here at $2.03 a month, followed by CyberGhost and Surfshark. For free use, VPNFast and Proton VPN both have no-cost tiers.

How we make money

This website is free to read. We may earn a commission when you sign up for a product through some of the links on our pages. This comes at no extra cost to you, and it helps us keep the site running. A commission does not change a product's ranking or score.

Ownership disclosure

This site is operated by VPNSuperFast, the makers of VPNFast. VPNFast is our own product. We disclose this clearly wherever it appears — in the bar at the top of every page, on its card, in the comparison table and in the site footer — and we rank it using the same criteria as every other VPN we review.

Ratings shown for the other VPNs on this page are their live, publicly visible App Store scores, taken from Apple's own listing data. The rating shown for VPNFast is supplied by VPNSuperFast rather than taken from its macOS App Store listing, and we label it as our own product wherever it appears.

Our editorial approach

Rankings, ratings, and opinions on this site are our own. We base them on the factors described in How we rank these VPNs — privacy, network, Mac support and value. Your own experience may differ.

Accuracy of information

VPN prices, plans, server counts, and features change often. Every figure on this site was taken from the provider's own App Store listing or website and checked in August 2026, but we cannot guarantee it is always complete or up to date. We deliberately do not publish prices for that reason. Always confirm the latest details on the provider's official website or the App Store before you buy.

No professional advice

The content on this site is for general information only and is not legal, security, or professional advice. A VPN is one privacy tool among many, and no VPN makes you anonymous on its own. Choose the product that fits your own needs.
