Hey, I’m looking for the best VPN for Mac and could really use some recommendations. After doing a bit of research, I’m currently torn between NordVPN and Surfshark. I’m looking for something that’s easy to set up, works well with macOS, and offers strong privacy without being too expensive. Basically, something in that sweet spot between premium features and affordability.
I’ve gone through this best VPNs list on Reddit, and both NordVPN and Surfshark seem to be high up.
What I noticed to like:
- NordVPN: Strong privacy features, fast servers, and a no-logs policy. It’s also got a big server network and has been around for a while, plus I’ve tried another Nord product already. However, I’ve seen a few mentions about the app for Mac being a bit clunky at times, though others say it’s been fine for them recently.
- Surfshark: More affordable than Nord, and the unlimited device connections are appealing since I’d be using it on my Mac, phone, and maybe a tablet. However, I’ve heard some users say Surfshark can be a bit slower during peak times.
What’s really important to me is good speed for streaming and something that integrates smoothly with macOS. I’d love to know if anyone here has used either of these on Mac specifically. Any issues with the Mac app or performance?
