The Best VPNs for Mac According to Reddit

Data collection is legal, so what can you do to protect your privacy? Thankfully there are various tools at your disposal, and Apple has taken steps in this direction with the Safari 11.0 update included in macOS High Sierra. But the best way to protect yourself from the prying eyes of the government and/or cybercriminals is to use the private browsing feature of web browsers in combination with a VPN service.

As with everything that ever existed, Redditors have strong and experienced opinions on VPN services and even have a few tips about the best VPN apps for use on a Mac to reduce your exposure to tracking. The most often mentioned VPN service provider seems to be PIA (Private Internet Access), due to their no-log policy and good speeds. “PIA was rated as one of the few that has no DNS leaks on Mac for both IP4 and IP6 – so there’s that,” commented famed VPN expert and Reddit user dbe7. “Also, the speeds are very good, and they have servers outside the U.S.”. But other providers, such as NordVPN, TunnelBear and ExpressVPN, are also mentioned as being reliable.
