Security Status

NetShade for Mac is an Internet security tool which conceals your IP address on the web. NetShade for macOS will route your web connection through either a public anonymous proxy server or the tool's own dedicated anonymous proxy. (The latter option is available only to registered users.) This has the effect of masking your IP address as you browse the web. Anonymous proxies are becoming very popular in this age of heightened security and privacy concerns, and the app provides a very effective and straightforward interface for this.

Your Internet, everywhere
With the app, you connect to the Internet through the server of your choice. Access content overseas, and protect your privacy online. NetShade runs 13 servers in 7 different countries.

Now with IPv6
IPv6 is the Internet of the future. The app gives you access to IPv6 right now, even if your Internet provider doesn't support it yet. The program is all you need to access the entire IPv6 Internet. Open up new routing possibilities, and unblock previously inaccessible content. Learn more about IPv6

A higher class of proxy & VPN service
"If you’ve had bad luck with slow, unreliable, fly-by-night VPN providers in the past, we’re glad you found us. Net Shade has been in operation for 13 years, and over that time we’ve built a reputation of trust and reliability with our customers. We take pride in the quality of our app, and the integrity and reliability of our services."

Note: 10 days trial version. Requires 64-bit processor.
