Our top Mac VPN is NordVPN. NordVPN isn't the cheapest, but you get what you pay for -- an intuitive and attractive user interface, an easy-to-use accompanying mobile app, rapid speeds, and a massive server network. That's not to mention the wealth of additional security features and optional cyber-insurance coverage.
ExpressVPN shines when it comes to its speed, rapid connections, and server network. The Mac app is easy to set up, configure, and connect to optimal servers. One feature we really like is the network speed test tool (included in the main menu). This feature enables you to scan the entire network and measure speed and latency on the servers to find the best option. This can be especially useful if you are streaming or gaming.
Review: ExpressVPN
It has servers located in 105 countries, which is more than most VPNs, so you'll have plenty of options. We've also found it to be an excellent option for popular streaming services, accessing content libraries without problems. This is partly because all the servers are obfuscated, which helps to avoid detection by platforms that block VPNs.
ExpressVPN is one of the most popular and trusted VPN providers, supporting a wide range of platforms. It's most compatible with macOS 10.13 or later and iOS 15 or later, as well as Windows, Android, Linux, tvOS, and Amazon operating systems.
Subscriptions begin at $4.99 per month on a two-year (and 4 extra months) plan. Alternatively, you can pay $6.67.99/month for 12 months or $12.95 per month. ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, which allows you to test the service with minimal risk. Overall, customers say that ExpressVPN is reliable on most fronts, but some note the high cost.

When you're ready to try out a new VPN on your Mac, first download the VPN service you want from Apple's App Store. Then, run the installer. You may need to provide permission for the installation software to finish.
For this example, we are installing ExpressVPN on a MacBook Pro.
Next, sign in using your VPN account credentials or through a device authorization code. Your VPN should now be active, and you can select the country server you want, change any further settings, and more.
