PureVPN
PureVPN is a commercial virtual private network (VPN) client for macOS that encrypts internet traffic, masks the user's IP address, and protects against hackers, trackers, and ISP surveillance. It offers features including a kill switch, split tunneling, WireGuard protocol support, obfuscated servers to bypass censorship, and access to over 6,000 servers across 65+ countries. The app is designed for users seeking online privacy, secure browsing on public Wi-Fi, streaming with geo-restriction bypass, and secure remote work. PureVPN maintains active development with regular updates and is compatible with modern macOS releases from Big Sur onwards.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPureVPN is actively maintained—the vendor has released updates as recently as April 2026 with continuous improvements to stability, performance and features. However, the search results do not confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists yet. The app currently works on M-series Macs under Rosetta 2, but since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. Contact PureVPN's support team directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is in development or planned before the September 2028 deadline. In the meantime, continue using the current build; once a native version is available, update through the vendor's download page or your subscription account. If you need a VPN solution with confirmed native Apple Silicon support today, consider alternatives such as Mullvad VPN, ProtonVPN, or Windscribe—all maintain native builds for M-series Macs.
