It routes your Mac's traffic through an encrypted tunnel to a VPN server, replacing the public IP address seen by destination sites with the server's address. The app provides a server map and country list, connection status, profiles and automatic reconnection. It requires an internet connection and a Proton account; it is not an offline privacy tool or a VPN server you host yourself.\n\n## Setup and compatibility\nThe current package requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Proton provides a Mac app for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. Copy ProtonVPN.app from the official DMG into Applications, open it and sign in with a free or paid Proton account. The first connection asks permission to add VPN configurations to macOS; approve the system prompt to establish the tunnel. A separate Homebrew formula or driver is not declared as a dependency of this cask.\n\nThe 6.5.1 download is 131,028,182 bytes; this is the DMG size, not installed storage. Proton's Mac release-notes page labels 6.5.1 as an early-access beta, while 6.5.0 is listed as stable. Enable early-access updates only if you accept beta behavior.\n\n## Connections and features\nSmart Protocol can choose a supported protocol automatically. Proton also documents WireGuard and its Stealth obfuscation protocol for Mac; protocol availability differs by platform and app version. Stealth is intended to help connections on restrictive networks, not to guarantee access in every country or network. The app offers a kill switch to limit traffic when the VPN disconnects; confirm its settings and behavior for your workflow.\n\nPaid plans add access to more server locations, Secure Core routing, NetShield filtering, streaming and P2P capabilities, and other premium features. Mac split tunneling is an experimental feature documented for paid accounts; it excludes selected apps from the tunnel and therefore changes which traffic receives VPN protection. 6.5.0 specifically fixes network-interface issues affecting split tunneling. Server load, distance, local connectivity, restrictions and the selected protocol affect speed and availability.\n\n## Free and paid service\nProton VPN Free requires an account but no credit card. It has unlimited data, no advertisements and one simultaneous VPN connection, with servers in a limited set of countries selected automatically. The free plan does not include every location or premium feature. VPN Plus supports up to ten simultaneous connections and additional features; Proton Unlimited bundles VPN with other Proton services. Subscription prices depend on currency, billing term and promotions, and renewal terms should be checked at the official checkout. Paid plans advertise a 30-day money-back guarantee subject to their terms.\n\nThe iOS\u002FmacOS client source is published under GPLv3. The hosted VPN service and account are governed separately by Proton's terms and privacy policies; an open-source client does not make paid service features free.\n\n## Privacy limits\nProton states that it does not log VPN browsing activity and publishes independent audit information. A VPN does not provide absolute anonymity: signed-in websites, cookies, device fingerprints, account information and information you submit can still identify you. It does not replace endpoint security, backups or safe browsing. NetShield filters selected domains and is not a full antivirus scanner. Traffic excluded by split tunneling is outside the VPN tunnel, and local laws and network restrictions still apply.\n\nOfficial sources: [Mac

It routes your Mac's traffic through an encrypted tunnel to a VPN server, replacing the public IP address seen by destination sites with the server's address. The app provides a server map and country list, connection status, profiles and automatic reconnection. It requires an internet connection and a Proton account; it is not an offline privacy tool or a VPN server you host yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 class=\"on-md-heading-1\">Setup and compatibility\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The current package requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Proton provides a Mac app for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. Copy ProtonVPN.app from the official DMG into Applications, open it and sign in with a free or paid Proton account. The first connection asks permission to add VPN configurations to macOS; approve the system prompt to establish the tunnel. A separate Homebrew formula or driver is not declared as a dependency of this cask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 6.5.1 download is 131,028,182 bytes; this is the DMG size, not installed storage. Proton's Mac release-notes page labels 6.5.1 as an early-access beta, while 6.5.0 is listed as stable. Enable early-access updates only if you accept beta behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 class=\"on-md-heading-1\">Connections and features\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Smart Protocol can choose a supported protocol automatically. Proton also documents WireGuard and its Stealth obfuscation protocol for Mac; protocol availability differs by platform and app version. Stealth is intended to help connections on restrictive networks, not to guarantee access in every country or network. The app offers a kill switch to limit traffic when the VPN disconnects; confirm its settings and behavior for your workflow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paid plans add access to more server locations, Secure Core routing, NetShield filtering, streaming and P2P capabilities, and other premium features. Mac split tunneling is an experimental feature documented for paid accounts; it excludes selected apps from the tunnel and therefore changes which traffic receives VPN protection. 6.5.0 specifically fixes network-interface issues affecting split tunneling. Server load, distance, local connectivity, restrictions and the selected protocol affect speed and availability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 class=\"on-md-heading-1\">Free and paid service\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Proton VPN Free requires an account but no credit card. It has unlimited data, no advertisements and one simultaneous VPN connection, with servers in a limited set of countries selected automatically. The free plan does not include every location or premium feature. VPN Plus supports up to ten simultaneous connections and additional features; Proton Unlimited bundles VPN with other Proton services. Subscription prices depend on currency, billing term and promotions, and renewal terms should be checked at the official checkout. Paid plans advertise a 30-day money-back guarantee subject to their terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iOS\u002FmacOS client source is published under GPLv3. The hosted VPN service and account are governed separately by Proton's terms and privacy policies; an open-source client does not make paid service features free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 class=\"on-md-heading-1\">Privacy limits\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Proton states that it does not log VPN browsing activity and publishes independent audit information. A VPN does not provide absolute anonymity: signed-in websites, cookies, device fingerprints, account information and information you submit can still identify you. It does not replace endpoint security, backups or safe browsing. NetShield filters selected domains and is not a full antivirus scanner. Traffic excluded by split tunneling is outside the VPN tunnel, and local laws and network restrictions still apply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Official sources: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprotonvpn.com\u002Fdownload-macos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mac download\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprotonvpn.com\u002Fsupport\u002Fprotonvpn-mac-vpn-application\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mac setup\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprotonvpn.com\u002Fsupport\u002Frelease-notes-macos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mac release notes\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprotonvpn.com\u002Fpricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Plans\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprotonvpn.com\u002Ffree-vpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Free VPN\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprotonvpn.com\u002Fsupport\u002Fhow-to-change-vpn-protocols\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Protocols\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FProtonVPN\u002Fios-mac-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Client source and license\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n"]
