Best VPN

If you've ever tried to watch a show or access content on your Mac only to hit a "not available in your region" roadblock, you're not alone. Geo-restrictions are frustrating, especially when you're paying for a service but can't access it because of where you live—or worse, when you're traveling and can't enjoy the content you're used to. I get it because I've been there too. As someone who relies on my Mac for both work and entertainment, I decided to test over 15 VPNs to find the best ones for bypassing geo-restrictions specifically on macOS. Honestly, some were amazing, and others were... well, let's just say I wouldn't recommend them even if they were free. In this guide, I'll break down everything you need to know to make the right choice. We'll cover what features actually matter (and which ones are overhyped), a quick decision guide tailored to your needs, hidden costs to watch out for, and common mistakes people make when choosing a VPN. I'll also share my testing process so you know how I came to these conclusions. By the end, you'll feel confident picking the VPN that works best for you—whether you're trying to stream Netflix abroad, access region-locked websites, or just keep your browsing private. Let’s dive in.
