Install and activate Hide My IP on Mac

The Mac app needs macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer.

Install the app

1. Download Hide My IP for Mac.
2. Open the downloaded file and drag Hide My IP into the Applications folder.
3. Open Hide My IP from the Applications folder.
4. The first time you connect, macOS asks you to allow the VPN configuration. Allow it. macOS may ask for your Mac password.

Enter your license key

Without a license key, the app works for free with a few locations. To unlock every location:

1. Click the Hide My IP icon in the menu bar and open Settings.
2. In the License section, click Enter License.
3. Paste your license key and click Validate.

Older Macs

On macOS 12 or older, use the browser extension. With Premium, you can also download OpenVPN config files from the web app and import them into an OpenVPN app such as Tunnelblick.
