hide.me VPN
hide.me VPN is a macOS VPN app that encrypts internet traffic and lets users connect through hide.me servers for privacy and location control.
What is hide.me VPN?
hide.me VPN is a native macOS VPN app for securing internet traffic and routing connections through hide.me servers. It is designed for people who want a simple way to protect data on public Wi‑Fi, reduce local network exposure, and use a different VPN server location while browsing or using other apps. On Mac, the app provides a built-in connection interface instead of requiring manual VPN setup, which is helpful for everyday users as well as people who switch networks often. Common uses include turning the VPN on quickly, reconnecting automatically after sleep or network changes, and choosing how specific apps or traffic use the VPN. The app is published by EVENTURE LTD. and is also distributed through the Mac App Store.
Key features
- Connect to VPN servers from a built-in macOS app
- Choose server locations directly in the app
- Reconnect automatically after network interruptions or sleep
- Enable a kill switch to block traffic if the VPN disconnects
- Use split tunneling for selected apps or traffic
- Launch and connect automatically at login if you choose

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate VPN app. It normally needs permission to add VPN configurations in macOS, may run background components to keep the tunnel connected, and may store connection credentials in Keychain so you do not have to re-enter them. Some connection methods may install or use network-related system components, which is expected for VPN software. Keep it only if you use hide.me VPN, and install updates promptly so macOS compatibility and security fixes stay current.
Recommendation: Keep hide.me VPN if you actively use it for private browsing, public Wi‑Fi protection, or location-based VPN access. If you no longer use the service, you can remove the app and its support files to stop background VPN activity and login prompts related to saved VPN access.
