Setting up the VPNUK App on macOS 12 Monterey or newer.
Three Protocols. One App.
Choose the protocol that suits your situation:
• WireGuard: The fastest modern VPN protocol. Your config is generated fresh on every connection, so there are no stale keys and no manual setup.
• OpenVPN: The battle-tested standard trusted by enterprises and privacy advocates for over two decades. Includes Obfuscation for protection against deep-packet inspection on heavily filtered networks.
• IKEv2: Uses the iOS built-in VPN client for a seamless, native experience.
You can log in with your VPN username and password — found in the Members Area under VPNUK Account Details or your User Account (members area) credentials. The VPNUK App for macOS allows you to login with either set of credentials, if you login with your User Account credentials our API will automatically load your account settings.
