From nothing to a working tunnel1
We make no Mac app ourselves. You install a free client that accepts a VLESS subscription link, ask the Telegram bot for your trial link, and paste it in. Hiddify is one such client with a macOS build, listed on its project page. The link brings in five locations: Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Singapore, Dubai and London.
Setting it up on a MacBook2
Get the client from the project's page or from the store that your Mac offers, checking the publisher name before you open it.
Open Telegram on the Mac or the phone and ask the bot for the trial; the link arrives in about a minute.
Inside the client, choose to add a subscription and drop the link into it.
Choose a location, then connect. Expect a system prompt about a network configuration, which is the Mac's way of letting the tunnel exist.
Open a page that shows your IP before and after, and confirm the country changed.
What "free" means for a Mac
The client is free. The tunnel is free for the trial, then paid in the bot with cryptocurrency, since cards and UPI do not work there. Search results for a free VPN download for a MacBook are full of installers from sellers who pay for servers with adverts or data. A free client that only accepts your own link has no such motive, but you still check where you download it from. Our own motive is plain - we sell the tunnel once the trial ends - so judge the client by its project page, not by our word.
A few Mac details
Apple silicon and Intel Macs need different builds for some programs, so look at the download page and pick the one that matches the chip shown under the Apple menu. Do not give an installer your admin password unless you started the installation yourself.
On a shared Mac in a hostel or a lab, think before saving the link in the client: the link is your access, and the next user could use your plan. Remove it when you finish.
Older advice you may find
Some guides point to OpenVPN files and install steps for macOS. OpenVPN is a different protocol from the VLESS this service uses, so those files will not work with our link.
If a page tells you to import a profile from some unfamiliar site, close it. A profile or an installer is code that runs with the rights you give it, and a download page that promises a free VPN for a MacBook but hides its publisher is a poor place to start. Read the publisher name, the date of the last update and the permissions it asks for.
Keeping expectations right
A tunnel on a laptop hides your traffic from the network and shows websites another address. It does not hide your accounts, and it cannot change rules of your college or workplace. If those rules forbid a VPN, a different location will not make it allowed. We keep no logs. Whether a VPN may run on a given Mac is up to whoever owns it: your own MacBook is yours to decide, a lab or office machine is not.
Questions
Does the Mac need a special setup for Safari?
No. The client works for the whole system, so Safari, Chrome and other apps all use it while it is on.
Will the link I put on the Mac also fit my phone?
Yes. Nothing caps the number of devices on it.
A password prompt appeared after I added the profile. Is that normal?
macOS asks you to approve a network configuration. Approve it only for a client you installed on purpose.
The speed dropped after I connected. Is it broken?
A longer route can slow things a little. Try another location, and compare on mobile data. We publish no speed numbers.
Is there a Mac app named after this service?
No. A free client plus the bot's link does the job.
Where do I look if the client will not connect?
First the client's log, then another location, then the subscription itself: delete it and add the link again from the bot's chat.
