AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAvira Phantom VPN Helper is a background service component bundled inside the main Avira Phantom VPN application, not a standalone product that can be updated on its own. To get the native Apple Silicon build of the helper, you must update the parent Avira Phantom VPN application to its latest version. Visit Avira's official website to download the current Avira Phantom VPN installer for macOS, or if you installed Avira Phantom VPN originally from the Mac App Store, open the App Store and update the app from there — whichever channel you used will bring both the main application and its helper components to their native Apple Silicon builds. After updating, the helper will launch natively in the background without any additional configuration needed.
