What are the best VPNs for Apple devices?

For those of you unfamiliar with VPNs, Virtual Private Networks can help you gain access to blocked websites, hide your real location and encrypt your data.
VPNs can be used from any device connected to the internet: your desktop computer, a laptop or your mobile phone.
In this article, we will focus on some of the best VPN services for Apple devices.

Do you need a VPN for your Apple device?

Mac users might be tempted to think their devices are safe by default, without running a VPN. Well, there is an increasing number of cyber attacks against Mac users, too. One can never be too careful when it comes to the protection of their data.

Moreover, if you want to watch a TV show unavailable for your country, VPNs are the only solution to this problem.

Free vs paid VPN for your Apple device

Depending on your monthly data usage, a free VPN might be enough for you, but then again, you might want a more reliable service and look for a paid VPN.

Free VPNs are not as safe as paid VPNs, their bandwidth is pretty low (0.5 ・2 GB/month) and they run a lot of Ads, which could be really annoying for most users. Some of the best free VPNs are: TunnelBear, Windscribe, Hotspot Shield, ProtonVPN and Hide.Me
