Best VPN for Mac India — macOS Privacy 2026

Mac users in India often assume they're safe because "Macs don't get viruses." This is dangerously wrong in 2026. While macOS malware is less common, your internet connection is equally exposed. Your ISP logs every website you visit. Apple's own telemetry collects usage data. Public WiFi at Starbucks, WeWork, and airport lounges in Mumbai and Delhi can intercept your traffic regardless of your operating system.
