Last Updated: Aug 5, 2025 Shimo VPN is an excellent software program in every way. Although it’s not exactly a VPN provider per say, it is a company that provides VPN client for Mac OS users to facilitate VPN connections between the users and the VPN providers. The concept is similar to that of OpenVPN and Viscosity. This means that we can’t evaluate it the same way we do with VPN providers. However, we’ll focus more on its functionality and advanced security features. ShimoVPN is capable of securing multiple VPN connections (up to 3 VPN connections at the same time) with up to 256-bit SHA encryption. It supports almost every major security protocol, including OpenVPN with UDP/TCP, CiscoVPN, L2TP/IPSec, PPTP, and SSL. I present to you real-time statistics through Shimo’s latest addition, the “Statistics and Accounting” feature. This useful feature not only showcases live statistics but also enables you to conveniently monitor your billing information. You can get a taste of the Shimo experience with a limited free trial. As for pricing, it’s a bit costly compared to free Mac OS VPN clients such as Viscosity, but Shimo is truly a work of art. Shimo also supports AnyConnect and enables users to establish SSH connections which include port forwarding for secure web browsing. Shimo is considered to be the only client for Mac that supports all these protocols. Even your passwords are pampered with Shimo’s new two-factor authentication feature which stores all the information related to your account.
