Frequently asked questions

How to get VPN on Mac?

Find NordVPN on the App Store. Click Get, Install, and enter your Apple ID info if asked. Then the app will be on your computer in a few seconds. In our website, you can also download the OpenVPN version of the app, which has some additional functions including obfuscated and dedicated servers and Double VPN for even stronger protection.

Should I have a VPN on my Mac?

It depends on your needs. For example, you may need a VPN for your MacBook if you work with sensitive information on it. Since a VPN encrypts internet traffic, all your online data remains hidden from online spies.

On the other hand, if you watch movies on your laptop, you may also need a VPN client for your Mac. A VPN lets you change your virtual location and access more content. If you’re abroad, it takes just a click to connect to a VPN server in your home country and catch up with your favorite shows.
