Shared Wi-Fi can make it easier for others on the same network to see what you do online. A VPN helps keep the data you send and receive more secure.
Your online activity can be tracked
In the UK, internet providers can be required to keep connection records, and many online platforms also track browsing activity. A VPN helps limit what others can see about your activity.
Some websites depend on location
Banks and other services may use your location to help spot and flag unusual sign-ins. A UK IP address can help your accounts recognize your sign-in as normal.
Intego One is more than a VPN — VPN is included with the Complete plan, alongside antivirus, firewall, and SmartClean in one Mac-first suite.
More than a VPN: Complete Mac protection in ONE app
With Intego ONE Complete, you get a full security suite in one easy-to-use app, built specifically for Mac.
Antivirus
Protects your Mac from malware, viruses, and other threats in real time, so you can browse, download, and use your device without second-guessing every file or link.
A VPN is most useful when you’re using networks you don’t control, signing in to accounts, and using services that depend on location.
Protect shared connections
Your data is better protected on shared Wi-Fi in places like airports, cafés, hotels, and other public spaces because the VPN encrypts your connection.
Protect account sign-ins
Encrypted VPN connections help protect your personal data when you access UK banking and personal accounts while traveling.
Keep browsing more private
A VPN makes it harder for others on the same network to see what sites and services you’re using, even if they can still tell that you’re online.
Choose your online location
Connecting through a UK VPN server helps when things like banking, settings, or local site versions depend on a UK IP address.
A VPN helps secure sign-ins, browsing, and other data you send or receive online, especially on networks you don’t control. It does that by creating an encrypted connection between your Mac and the VPN server, making your data harder to read.
A VPN improves privacy on the connection — it does not make you anonymous.
UK is a highly connected market – which often means more time on shared networks, more routine account logins, and more everyday tracking.
4.5
4.5 hours online per day
UK adults spent an average of 4 hours and 30 minutes online each day in 2025.
23%
23% avoided public Wi-Fi
In Great Britain, 23% of adults said they had avoided using public Wi-Fi at least once because of security concerns.
12
Up to 12 months of connection records
Certain internet connection records may be retained for up to 12 months under UK law.
Why this matters
People in the UK use the internet for shopping, banking, work, email, and everyday browsing — often across home, work, and public networks. That means a lot of your personal data moves across networks you can’t fully trust.
Intego VPN encrypts your traffic so that it’s more difficult to read, while features like a kill switch help block internet traffic if the connection drops unexpectedly. A strict no-logs policy adds another layer of reassurance because Intego does not store your browsing activity.
A UK IP address can be useful when accessing local everyday accounts, such as government services, banking, or other sites that expect to see a UK location.

When choosing a VPN, server locations are only one factor. To choose one you can trust, it's also worth looking at privacy practices, security features, support, and how easy it is to try with confidence.
Clear privacy practices
Check how the service is funded, what data it collects, and whether it has a clear no-logs policy.
Connection security
Look for strong encryption, secure protocols, and a kill switch that helps protect you if the connection drops unexpectedly.
Reliable support
When you need help with setup, troubleshooting, or understanding how the product works, round-the-clock support makes a real difference.
Low-risk trial
A money-back guarantee means you’re not locked in if the VPN isn’t right for you.

Intego VPN is a strong choice for UK users who want reliable UK servers, strong security, and easy setup on Mac. With Intego ONE Complete, you also get a full security suite that helps protect both your device and your data.
Open the Intego VPN app, go to the server list, and select a server in the UK. Once connected, websites and services will see the server’s UK IP address instead of your IP address.
No. A VPN protects your connection, while an antivirus helps defend your device from malware and other threats. They do different jobs, which is why using both gives you broader protection.
It means Intego VPN routes your connection through a physical server located in the United Kingdom. Because the server itself is in the UK, websites and services may treat your connection as UK-based, which can affect things like local site versions, settings, and some location checks.
Yes. UK government guidance says VPNs are legal in the UK. A VPN is a legitimate privacy and security tool, but a VPN should always be used responsibly and for legal activities only.
You can, but it is worth checking how the service is funded and what privacy policy it follows. Some free VPNs track activity, inject ads, or sell browsing data, which is why a paid VPN with a clear no-logs policy like Intego VPN is often the better option.
