Tip - ClearVPN - Preview

Virtual private networks (VPN), while they've been around for a while can still be hard to understand. Even if you know about them, once turned on it can be unclear if you're receiving the benefits. Using ClearVPN, in this show Darcy outlines exactly how a VPN works to protect your devices while browsing on insecure networks (such as your favorite coffee shop's public wifi) with real demonstrations of ad blocking.

With a beautiful user interface, ClearVPN also gives you the ability to access streaming services around the globe. Throw in quick access through Shortcuts and widgets on your home screen, and you've got a very flexible way to manage your VPN connections.

ClearVPN from MacPaw runs on macOS 13 or newer, and iOS or iPadOS 16 or later.

You get access to ClearVPN through a Setapp subscription, or you can subscribe to the app on a monthly ($9.99 USD) or annual ($44.99 USD) plan, after a 3-day trial, perfect to follow along with Darcy!
