Throughout its history, Apple has put a high value on user privacy. This has become an even more fundamental part of its branding and messaging in recent years. At every product launch, the company highlights privacy and security features.
CEO Tim Cook, promoting a video discussing Apple’s approach to privacy, tweeted: “Privacy is a fundamental right and we build it into all our products and services at Apple.”
For some Mac fans, though, those features are not enough. Many like to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to add a further layer of protection, particularly when using insecure public networks. A VPN provides those users with a private network. The so-called ‘VPN tunnel’ means data is passed as if a device is directly connected to a private network. Many VPN providers also offer encryption for added protection. Apple users can easily access the VPN of their choice on their Macs, iPads and iPhones.
