![]() Open a web browser for example, and go to a website. They will use whatever internet connection is available and providing the internet can be reached, they will work. Software that uses the internet like web browsers, email, streaming apps, games, messengers and so on, don’t really care how you are connected to the internet. Many VPNs provide a kill switch, but why would you need one? Being able to connect/disconnect by using the menu bar icon, so we don’t have to open the main application window, would be nice too.A VPN creates an encrypted connection between the internet and a computer, phone or tablet to improve privacy and security. Change the application icon, it still uses the outdated “key” logo. There are ways of designing B/W icon and still be able to distinguish connection status. It’s not just a visual problem, but being the only coloured icon in the menu bar it attracts too much attention. The trend of coloured icons is long gone and the green PureVPN icon (when connected) pokes my eyes and stands out too much. The menu bar icons on OSX are all in black/white now. I’m sure many users are still “stuck” on version 1.99 from 2012 because they simply don’t know there is a new version.Īnd while the client looks and feels much better now, and finally we have the “kill switch”, we still need other advanced options that Win users already have (like split tunnelling). Things got better now, and it’s a good thing you’re not leaving your OSX customers behind (at least a lot) by releasing updates, but If I didn’t stumble on this page by pure chance (I was actually googling for something else and ended up here) I wouldn’t even now there was an update for OSX client! An email could have been sent about the update. I watched all the tutorials and got surprised that OSX client looks nothing like Windows client, misses many features, and was generally disappointed. I started using PureVPN in October 2015, downloaded the “latest” OSX client and have been using it since then. ![]()
