MacPaw, a Ukrainian software developer, has recently updated its VPN solution, ClearVPN, with a fresh interface that offers a simplified one-tap connection on various devices. This new version includes features such as iOS widgets, Siri Shortcuts integration, and a new ad-blocking extension for Chrome. Users can now easily connect to servers in almost 50 countries, with versions available for iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows, providing private browsing, global streaming, and enhanced security for public Wi-Fi use.
Oleksandr Kosovan, the CEO and founder of MacPaw, emphasized the company’s mission to create user-friendly software that enhances the online experience. ClearVPN’s redesign reflects this vision by providing a private and secure browsing experience through a beautifully designed app that seamlessly works across multiple devices.
