How do I start VPN on Mac?

If you’re a Mac user, you may be wondering how to start VPN on your device. Luckily, it’s easy to do! All you need is a VPN app and an account with a VPN provider. We’ll walk you through the process step by step so that you can be up and running in no time.

First, you’ll need to choose a VPN provider. There are many options available, so take some time to research which one will best meet your needs. Once you’ve found a provider that looks good to you, sign up for an account.

Next, download the VPN app from your provider’s website or the App Store. Once the app is installed, open it and log in with your new account credentials.

Now it’s time to connect to a server. Select a location from the list of options and click “connect.” That’s all there is to it! Your Mac will now be protected by the VPN whenever you’re connected to that server.

If you’re looking to get started using a VPN, the process is actually pretty straightforward. All you need to do is open your phone’s Settings app, tap on the Network & internet option, and then select VPN from the list of available options. If you can’t find the VPN option, you may need to search for it or get help from your device manufacturer.

Once you’ve found the VPN you want to use, simply enter your username and password (if necessary) and then tap on the Connect button. If you’re using a VPN app, the app will typically open automatically at this point. And that’s it! You should now be connected to the VPN and ready to start enjoying the benefits it has to offer.


Worth knowing

Assuming you’ve already signed up for a VPN service, there are just a few quick and easy steps to get started using your new VPN. Note that while most major VPN providers will have apps for the most popular platforms (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android), not all of them will support every platform. If your desired platform isn’t supported by your provider, you can usually still set up manual connections using the built-in VPN settings in your operating system.

1. Find and download the app or configuration files for your chosen platform from your provider’s website.

2. Install the app or unzip the config files and copy them to the correct location for your platform.

3. Open the app or import the config files into your VPN client of choice.

4. Connect to a server in the country or region of your choice. For example, connect to a US server to access US-only content like Netflix or Hulu.

5. Enjoy! Your traffic is now encrypted and routed through a secure tunnel, allowing you to browse safely and privately no matter where you are in the world.

If you’re looking to launch the Windows version of SoftEther VPN Server in User Mode, all you need to do is attach the “/usermode” option to the “vpnserver.exe” executable file and launch it. You’ll know the process is complete once an icon appears in the task tray, meaning the VPN Server has successfully launched in User Mode.
