Freedome
Freedome is a consumer VPN client from F-Secure that encrypts network traffic to mask a user's IP address and location, unblock content, and protect privacy on public Wi-Fi networks. It runs on macOS and iOS, offers multiple server locations worldwide, supports split tunneling, and integrates with F-Secure TOTAL security suite. Freedome is aimed at home users and small businesses seeking a simple, GUI-based VPN without advanced networking tools.

1 suggestionAs of May 2026, Freedome does not yet ship a native Apple Silicon build. The most recent public information from F-Secure's community forums (dating from late 2021) stated that native ARM64 support was planned but would take time due to the number of components involved. Nearly five years have passed since those discussions, yet no native build has been released. Freedome currently runs under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs, which means it will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) — less than two years away. Contact F-Secure directly to ask whether a native build is planned before that deadline. If the company cannot commit to a native release soon, consider switching to a VPN provider that already ships native Apple Silicon builds, such as ProtonVPN, Mullvad, or Surfshark — all offer similar privacy features and are actively maintained with full Apple Silicon support. You should also reach out to F-Secure's support team now to understand their timeline; waiting until late 2028 to find out native support was never released would leave you without a VPN service on a newly updated Mac.
