Your privacy isn’t just a slogan
Your privacy is why we exist. We do not monitor, record, keep, or sell your online activity and personal data when you use our Mac VPN.
We use RAM-only servers that wipe all your session data with each reboot, like deleting files and clearing the recycle bin. Leading firms like Cure53 regularly audit these systems to ensure they align with our no-logs policy. Your privacy is not just a promise, it’s transparent and verified.
What you get with ExpressVPN’s Mac App
Apple secures your device, your connection is a different story
Keep your online activity and data private
There are bad people who exploit the lack of security on public Wi-Fi and networks, and even unsecure home networks. ExpressVPN adds a layer of security so they can’t see your passwords, personal data, or work resources.
Our 256-bit AES encryption puts a secure tunnel between your device and the internet by turning outgoing traffic into unreadable code, so no one can see your activity or personal info. This includes your ISP, as some are required by law to collect and retain your online activity in case the authorities want to see it.
Fast speeds for streaming and browsing
Mac’s Retina display is the perfect small-screen theater. But some ISPs throttle your connection if they know you’re watching high-bandwidth content, and it will buffer and lag. ExpressVPN masks your online activity, making it harder for the ISP to identify your activity and throttle your connection speed.
Our servers support live streaming, 4K video, and low-ping gaming with unlimited bandwidth, so you don’t have to experience that lag.
Access your accounts from anywhere
ExpressVPN has servers in 214 locations across 113 countries, so no matter if you’re home or traveling, you can access your accounts, subscriptions, and favorite entertainment. This comes in handy when you need to access financial accounts with strict verification, or want to watch your shows but are outside your region.

ExpressVPN’s Advanced Features
Even more protection for your Mac
-
Internet Kill Switch
VPN connections drop, it happens to the best of us. When it does, your location and data become visible. But not with ExpressVPN’s kill switch. If your connection drops, our kill switch automatically turns on to block all traffic until the connection is restored, protecting your location and your personal info.
-
Split tunneling
Want to view content or connect to an app from somewhere else but need your banking app to be connected from your current location? Split tunneling lets you choose which apps use the VPN and which use your local connection.
-
A dedicated IP
If you use apps, have subscriptions, or work remotely, with logins that require a consistent IP address, ExpressVPN provides a dedicated IP that’s exclusively yours. No more jumping through hoops to login, or getting locked out. It’s included with the Pro plan or available as an add-on.
-
DNS leak protection
DNS leaks can expose your online activity to others, including your ISP, hackers, and advertisers.
ExpressVPN uses its own private DNS, which encrypts and resolves your Mac’s DNS requests within our servers. This helps protect against DNS leaks, since it’s much harder for outsiders to snoop on your online activity.
A VPN for your whole Apple ecosystem
ExpressVPN protects your entire suite of Apple devices, from Macs to Apple TVs
If you’re like some of us, your Mac isn’t your only Apple device. With ExpressVPN, you can cover up to 14 devices.
You can install it on macOS versions 11 (Big Sur), 12 (Monterey), 13 (Ventura), 14 (Sonoma), 15 (Sequoia), or 26 (Tahoe). Yep, even Macs launched in 2013 can run ExpressVPN.

FAQ
Get answers to your common questions about using a VPN for Mac
Does Mac have a built-in VPN?
Macs don't have a built-in VPN. ExpressVPN fills that gap: encrypting your connection, masking your IP address, and keeping your data private on any network.
Does Mac have free VPN?
Macs don't come with a free VPN. ExpressVPN has a user-friendly app for MacOS and offers strong encryption with high-capacity servers in 214 locations across 113 countries.

Definitely. To use a VPN on your Mac, first subscribe to ExpressVPN, download and install the macOS app for your device, and sign in with your account to get started.
Do you need a VPN if you have a Mac?
Your Mac's built-in security protects your device, but not your connection. A VPN encrypts your traffic so your ISP, hackers, and other third parties can't see what you do online.

ExpressVPN supports macOS versions 11 (Big Sur), 12 (Monterey), 13 (Ventura), 14 (Sonoma), 15 (Sequoia), and 26 (Tahoe) when downloaded from our website. The Mac App Store version requires macOS 15 or later. We also have dedicated apps for iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs (tvOS 17 or later).
