You can connect your Mac to a VPN in the event that your company has one by establishing connections in System Preferences. The exact steps depend on the type of VPN you are using, but they generally involve importing a security certificate for your VPN (information on how to do this can be found on the VPN's website).

If you do not have access to a company-specific VPN service, you may use your Apple computer's built-in VPN settings to establish an L2TP over IPSec connection. To do so, open the System Preferences menu and select Network. Then choose the + icon to add a VPN connection. To establish the connection, you'll need know your server's address, account username, password, and shared secret.

Once you have all the information you need, you're ready to browse the Internet with your Mac's VPN. Your internet searches will pass through the VPN and make it impossible for anyone else to monitor your internet activities. This will also safeguard you from your internet provider selling your personal information. Net neutrality is currently under attack by ISPs could allow them to sell your browsing history as well as your physical location.

Another reason to install a VPN on your MacBook is to allow access to content that is restricted in your area. A VPN can help you overcome this. Many entertainment websites restrict content based on your location. You'll need to download the Mac software and sign up with an premium VPN like Surfshark.
