Why Your Mac Needs a VPN
macOS is more secure than most systems — but it cannot protect your network traffic on its own.
Public Wi-Fi risks
Working from a café, library, or airport lounge? Public Wi-Fi exposes all unencrypted traffic to anyone on the same network. LimeVPN creates an encrypted tunnel so your work sessions, passwords, and data stay private.
Encrypted DNS
Without a VPN, your DNS queries — every domain you visit — go to your ISP unencrypted. LimeVPN routes DNS through its own servers, keeping your browsing history off your ISP's logs.
Bypass geo-restrictions
Access streaming libraries, news sites, and services available in other countries. Connect to a server in your target region and browse as a local.
Secure remote work
Connect to work resources securely from any location. LimeVPN gives you a consistent, encrypted connection whether you are in an office, at home, or travelling.
Built for Apple Silicon — and Intel
LimeVPN is a universal binary. It runs natively on every Mac sold in the last five years.
Native Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4)
The LimeVPN Mac app compiles natively for ARM64. On M-series Macs, WireGuard uses the hardware encryption engine built into Apple Silicon chips — meaning near-zero CPU overhead and exceptional battery life, even with the VPN running all day.
Intel Mac support
LimeVPN also runs natively on Intel Macs without Rosetta translation. Any Mac running macOS 12 (Monterey) or later is supported — including older MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini, iMac, and Mac Pro models.
Kill switch included
If the VPN connection drops unexpectedly, the kill switch blocks all network traffic immediately — preventing your real IP from being exposed. Re-enable the VPN and your connection resumes automatically.
Split tunneling on macOS
Route specific apps through the VPN while others use your regular connection. Common use case: browser and email through VPN, while work tools using corporate SSO stay on your local connection.
