hide.me VPN
hide.me VPN is a macOS VPN app that encrypts internet traffic and lets users connect through remote servers for privacy and access control.
What is hide.me VPN?
hide.me VPN is a macOS security and privacy app that routes your internet connection through a VPN server to help protect traffic on public networks and reduce direct exposure of your IP address. It is designed for people who want a simple way to connect to a VPN on a Mac for everyday browsing, travel, remote work, or streaming and region-specific access where permitted. The app provides a server selection interface, supports multiple VPN protocols, and includes tools that help users control how specific traffic is handled while the VPN is active. hide.me also offers platform support beyond macOS, which is useful for people who want similar protection across Apple and other devices. On Mac, users will most often interact with it as a native desktop app for connecting, switching locations, and managing VPN behavior from a simple interface.
Key features
- Connect to VPN servers from a desktop app on macOS.
- Choose server locations for private browsing and network routing.
- Use multiple VPN protocols supported by the service.
- Route only selected apps or traffic through the VPN with split tunneling.
- Enable a kill switch to reduce unprotected traffic if the VPN disconnects.
- Use a native app that supports both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is legitimate VPN software, and the network permissions it requests are normal for a VPN app. Because it changes how your Mac routes internet traffic, some websites, apps, or local-network connections may behave differently while it is connected. Features such as a kill switch can also interrupt internet access until the VPN reconnects or the setting is turned off. Use it only if you want VPN protection, review its privacy settings and account choices, and expect background network activity while the app is active.
Recommendation: Keep hide.me VPN if you use it for private browsing, public Wi-Fi protection, or location-based network access. If you no longer use this VPN service, you can remove it and any related support files to free space and avoid unnecessary background network components.
