Although Apple is always implementing new features to improve the privacy of your actions with the Mac, you can enhance it with the use of some applications.
We bring you two applications that if you use them regularly, you will enhance the privacy of your passage through the Internet and the messages you send. Apple's Mail app, it is encrypted but not enough. You can exponentially improve this factor.
Privacy is more important than the Mac you have
No matter what Mac model you have, its features, even if you have already updated to macOS Catalina, which implements many new and good features on the subject of privacy.
With these two applications you will improve dramatically.
We start with one that surely sounds familiar to you. It already has time, but that does not mean it stops being one of the best. We are talking about the GPG environment. With this package applications you can encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify files and messages in Apple's own Mail application.
Also GPG Mail has already released version 4 which is fully compatible with macOS Catalina and it's free. One more point in your favor to use it.
Once we have protected our email communications, we will protect our Internet browsing. Yes, we are talking about using a VPN. A private and virtual network that will place our navigation in the country we want.
Most of the free apps don't really offer true virtualization. Nevertheless with TunnelBear, the 500 MB they offer without paying anything, are really effective. If you need more, you will already have to pay through a subscription model.
With this program you can not only protect your data and hide your real IP on the Internet. Most notably, it will block website trackers (ads, analysis, scripts ... etc) that track everything that you and yours do and see on the Internet.
