MacOS has a built in VPN client. I tried this but there is something I am not getting. Once I select VPN it shows that I have set it but it is not connected.

So, now I have to enter several other pieces of information. How do I learn what I need to enter there?

Also, I don't understand what Cisco IP Sec is.

Thanks

You must make sure the speed good enough. Last time I used HMA but speed drops a lot and cannot make it la.

Surfshark is great VPN for MacOS. It's much cheaper and faster than mainstream VPNs. They own all their own servers all over the world.

Why are you using a built in VPN. Go for some paid Mac VPN app like i do using purevpn mac vpn app. If you want some details visit https://www.purevpn.com/download/mac-vpn

Use PureVPN for your VPN browsing purpose.
I use it on my macOS PC.

You can build your own VPN. I think it's the most secure and better way.
