About this video

If you’re anything like me, you probably care about staying safe online, especially when using public Wi-Fi, or maybe you want access to content from other countries. Either way, setting up a VPN on your MacBook is easier than most people think.

First, you need a VPN provider. There are plenty out there, but I usually recommend straightforward, reliable options like ProtonVPN, NordVPN, or Surfshark. For this video, we'll be using Proton VPN.

After installing, open the VPN app and log in with the account you created. You’ll usually see a big “Connect” button right away. But before tapping it, choose your server location. This part matters.
