Freedome, F-Secure’s online privacy and security application, is now available for Apple’s Mac OS X. Get this VPN application and it will keep you safe, invisible, and untrackable as you surf the web.

It will protect against malicious websites and apps, it will encrypt your connection so no one can snoop on you, it will block advertisers from tracking you, it will help you access content that is not available in your region.

Until now, you couldn’t use Freedome on a Mac. Now you can! Freedome, the app that bundles together antivirus, antiphishing, antitracking, and VPN functionality, is now available for Apple’s OS X (Mavericks or newer).

Here’s what you can expect to get from F-Secure’s Freedome application.

Freedome – Main Features
  • Safety – Freedome protects against harmful sites, malicious apps, and anyone who would want to snoop on you.
  • Privacy – Freedome lets you surf the web anonymously, it encrypts your internet connection, and it blocks advertisers who want to track you.
  • Freedom – you can change your virtual location and access blocked content. If you can’t access a website because you’re not from a certain region, make it seem like you’re from that region
  • Availability – Freedome is available for desktops and mobile devices: Windows, OS X, iOS, Android.
Freedome is free to use for a trial period of 14 days. But, a code to use Freedome for free for 2 months is available here.

"PC and Mac users both have privacy needs, but what's most interesting about our research is that Mac users tend to think about this less while taking more risks", says F-Secure Executive Vice President, Consumer Security, Samu Konttinen. "For example, a Mac user might be more open to doing online banking using public Wi-Fi at a local cafe, but they're less likely to realize that traffic from Macs is just as easy to intercept over public Wi-Fi as traffic from phones or Windows PCs. The things that MacBook users love to do are generally the same things that expose their data to snoops and thieves".
