Protection
Stay protected when the network does not.
A kill switch stops the internet if the VPN ever drops. Block trackers and malware, connect automatically, and keep the tunnel up on every network with connect on demand. Each one is a single switch.
Menu bar
Always one click away.
Teal VPN lives in your menu bar. Connect, switch location and turn on the kill switch from there, with the keyboard if you prefer. Keep it in the Dock too, or only in the menu bar.
What makes Teal VPN a good VPN for Mac?

Getting started
Three steps. Then you are on your way.
- 01
Download the installer
Signed and notarised, for macOS 13.3 Ventura or later. Open the .pkg when the download finishes.
- 02
Press Install
Continue, Install, your Mac password once. Teal VPN lands in Applications and opens by itself.
- 03
Sign in
Google or email. Your Free plan is ready at once, with no payment details.
- 04
Allow the VPN once
Allow Teal VPN, then allow the VPN configuration with Touch ID or your password. macOS 13 and 14: System Settings › Privacy & Security › Allow. macOS 15 and later: System Settings › General › Login Items & Extensions › Network Extensions. From then on one click connects.
Check that Teal VPN is allowed
macOS 13 and 14: System Settings › Privacy & Security, allow Teal VPN. macOS 15 and later: System Settings › General › Login Items & Extensions › Network Extensions, switch Teal VPN on. Without this, Connect never finishes.
Installed from an older .dmg? Use the installer
An app started from a disk image cannot keep its VPN configuration. Run the current installer from this page; it puts Teal VPN in Applications.
Quit other VPN apps
Two VPNs fight over one connection. Quit the other app fully, from its menu bar icon too. Teal VPN warns you when another VPN is active.
Finish any Wi-Fi sign-in page
Hotel, airport, and café Wi-Fi often need you to accept terms in a browser first.
Check System Settings › VPN
Teal VPN should be listed there. If you removed it, connect from the app again and click Allow.
Try another network
If your phone’s hotspot works and the Wi-Fi does not, the Wi-Fi filters VPN traffic. Teal VPN tries another route by itself.
Questions
Good to know
Is there a free VPN for Mac or MacBook?
Yes. Teal Free: 500 MB of data a day, shared by your devices, the Lithuania location, up to 2 devices, no payment details. You need a free account, with Google or email, and never a card. On a Mac without Apple’s security chip (some older Intel Macs), Teal Free also needs Teal VPN on your Android phone. Pro doesn’t.
Is there a free VPN for MacBook Air?
Yes. Teal Free runs on every MacBook Air with Apple silicon (M1 to M4) on macOS 13.3 or later: 500 MB of data a day, the Lithuania location. The app is small and lives in the menu bar, so it suits a MacBook Air well. Pro adds unlimited data and every Teal location, from $3 a month on the yearly plan.
Does Teal VPN work on MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, Apple silicon and Intel?
Yes on Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3 and M4): MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini and Mac Studio on macOS 13.3 Ventura or later. The download is a universal app that also contains an Intel build; support for Intel Macs is in testing.
How do I install Teal VPN on a Mac?
Download the installer from this page and open it. It puts Teal VPN in Applications and opens it. Sign in with Google or email, press Connect and allow the VPN configuration once with Touch ID or your password. The app updates itself after that.
Where do I download a free VPN for my MacBook Air or MacBook Pro?
From this page: the Download for Mac button gives you the signed installer (.pkg), the same file for MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac mini. Open it, press Install, sign in with Google or email, and Teal Free is ready: 500 MB a day. Homebrew works too: brew install --cask tealvpn/tap/teal-vpn.
Is there a free VPN download for Mac without a subscription?
Yes. Teal Free never asks for a card or a subscription: 500 MB of data a day on the Lithuania location, up to 2 devices. Teal Pro is optional, for unlimited data and every Teal location.
Which locations can I use on Mac?
Teal Free: Lithuania. Teal Pro: every Teal location, in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia; the current list is on the locations page.
Why won’t my Mac VPN connect?
Most often the VPN configuration was never allowed in System Settings, an older copy was started from a disk image, another VPN app is running, or a hotel or café Wi-Fi still needs its sign-in page. The Mac VPN guide walks through each fix in order.
Is Teal VPN on the Mac App Store?
Not on the Mac App Store yet. The download on this page is the same app, signed and notarised through Apple’s Developer ID process, and it updates itself.
Can I install Teal VPN with Homebrew?
Yes. In Terminal: brew install --cask tealvpn/tap/teal-vpn. It installs the same signed app as the download button, and brew upgrade keeps it current.
Which macOS versions does Teal VPN support?
macOS 13.3 Ventura, macOS 14 Sonoma, macOS 15 Sequoia and newer. The app updates itself; you never need to download it again.
Can I keep Teal VPN in the menu bar only?
Yes. Teal VPN lives in the menu bar, and you can hide its Dock icon in Settings. You can also choose whether the VPN stays on after you quit the app.
Can I use the same account on my phone and PC?
Yes. Your plan belongs to your account. Sign in with the same account on Android, Android TV, Chromebook, Windows, Mac and Linux. Teal VPN for iPhone and iPad is in testing and not on the App Store yet.
Can I use another VPN app at the same time?
No. Only one VPN can carry your traffic. If another VPN app is running, Teal VPN tells you and shows “Not protected” instead of claiming you are safe.
Your internet, under your wing.
Start free with 500 MB every day. On a Mac without Apple’s security chip (some older Intel Macs), Teal Free also needs Teal VPN on your Android phone. Pro doesn’t.
