What is VPN for Mac?
A VPN for Mac encrypts traffic from your MacBook or desktop Macbefore it reaches the internet. On hotel Wi-Fi, coworking networks, or your home ISP connection, KloxVPN wraps data in a tunnel to our servers so observers see encrypted packets—not which apps or sites you use.
The macOS app uses Apple’s Network Extension framework with WireGuard, OpenVPN, OpenConnect, and Shadowsocks, plus split tunneling and a kill switch. Install the .dmg on Intel or Apple Silicon, then control everything from the menu bar.
