Unknown Speaker 0:00 What's up everyone,
Patrick here and in today's VPN video, I'll be showing you how to use surf shark VPN
on your Mac OS laptop or computer. Now, surf shark is one of the top tier VPN services available
today. And I'll include a link down in the description so you can check it out for yourself.
Now, just like for the Windows version, the Mac OS version of surf shark, it goes through pretty
much the same process for getting it downloaded installed and running it on your computer. So the
first thing you'll do is open up your web browser and head over to surf shark.com. And from here,
you can either sign up or sign in if you already have an existing surf shark account. Now if you
have to sign up for an account, you'll have to first select your subscription level that you're
going to be choosing. And then that way, you can go ahead and jump right into it once you have
the app installed. So since I already have one, I'll go ahead and log in using my existing email
and password. And then this will bring me to my surf shark dashboard. Now this shows you all the
available platforms that you can download it for, I'll go ahead and click on the Mac OS and then
from here, I can choose direct download or use the app store if I prefer. Now, I'm going to go
ahead and choose the direct download just because I prefer to get the package or dmg files directly.
And after a quick download, you'll now see that dmg file is available on your computer. And simply
clicking on that will start to open up the surf shark installer. Now the installer, all you have
to do is click on the surf shark icon. And this will allow you to then open it up and get started.
Go ahead and hit open just because it is a file you downloaded directly from the website as
opposed to the App Store. It's not signed in. So Apple is not sure if you're secure with it.
Go ahead and hit OK. And then we can close out the installer window and then we'll go
ahead and click Agree and continue. And then rearranges windows so it's now center screen.
And this is where your account comes into play. Obviously, you had to have an account in order
to download the package file or dmg file to begin with. So we'll go ahead and enter that login info
right here. And when you're done with that, you can go ahead and click Log In. Now this brings
us to the dashboard of surf shark where you see a full list of locations and a big Connect button at
the bottom right clicking on that will then give you the Add VPN and Configuration tab which simply
gives you an apple prompt asking if you want to configure this as a VPN, of course, you'll click
Allow. And this will continue through the process. Now going back and clicking on Connect will auto
connect to a smart or the fastest connection for your device and location. Clicking on this
little arrow down here just above connected will give you a little more detail about that VPN
connection and then clicking the toggle switch for the kill switch will allow you to turn that
on and off. Now the kill switch is simply whether or not if you get disconnected from your VPN, if
your internet continues to work. Now I turn that off just because I'm not too worried about it.
But if you're somebody that doesn't want to be connected to the internet without a VPN live,
then I would definitely recommend leaving that on now scrolling through the list of locations,
you can see all of these different countries and servers in locations available within these
countries and clicking on any one of them will auto connect to that server and then
you'll see a little star next to each of them and those will simply allow you to select your
favorites now going to top you can select static, or multi hop. Now multi hop simply means that
you're connecting to a VPN which then connects to another VPN and then your end destination giving
you a little more anonymity while browsing online. Now you can see I've added grease to my favorites
at simply clicking on that star adds it to my favorites if I'm trying to connect quickly to
select server and then you've got nearest country or fastest server those are two of the default
functions. Now clicking on the little gear icon will bring up your app preferences. And this is
just the general settings for your app ranging from the general network account upgrades advanced
and features that are available through your app and going in reading any of the tabs next to any
of these buttons or options will give you a very self explanatory breakdown of what each of those
settings do. Now that is how you download install and use surf shark VPN on your Mac OS laptop or
desktop computer and include a link down in the description below do surf shark so you can check
it out for yourself and understand why they are one of the top available VPN services today. And
just like some of the other ones they do have a 30 day money back guarantee so you can give it a try
and see if it's the right fit for you. And if you found this video helpful, please be sure to give
