Install and connect
- 1Check out a VPN pass from your cart, paying with your balance.
- 2Open My info > Get the apps and download the Mac file.
- 3Double-click what you downloaded and drop VPNPass in Applications.
- 4Start VPNPass and sign in the way you signed up: email and password, or your account token.
- 5macOS will ask before adding a VPN configuration. Say yes with Allow; Touch ID or the Mac's login password confirms it.
- 6Click the VPNPass icon at the top of the screen, pick a city and connect.
What's in the menu bar, and what's in the window?
The menu bar icon changes color with the connection state and lists the last few servers you used. Open the main window to browse every city, change the protocol, or set up the kill switch and split tunneling.
On Plus and Pro, ad, tracker and malicious site blocking happens on our DNS servers. That means it covers Safari, Chrome, Firefox and any app on the Mac without a browser extension.
How should I set it up on a MacBook?
A laptop that moves between home, office and coffee shop changes networks several times a day, and each change opens a short gap. Keep the kill switch on so nothing slips out during that gap. WireGuard usually reconnects before you finish typing your password after opening the lid.
AirPlay to a TV or speaker, file sharing with another Mac at home, and office tools that only accept your company IP tend to work better outside the tunnel. Put those in split tunneling.
Connect does nothing. What now?
Most often the VPN configuration was never approved, or the prompt was closed. Go to System Settings > VPN, delete the VPNPass entry, then sign in to the app again so macOS asks a second time.
Old antivirus tools and VPN apps you no longer use can leave network extensions behind. If websites fail only while VPNPass is connected, look through the network extension list in System Settings and switch off the leftovers.
