This article will show you how to subscribe and upgrade from the free edition of Bitdefender VPN to Bitdefender Premium VPN on Mac.
With Bitdefender VPN free edition, you benefit from a daily 200 MB daily traffic quota per device included in your subscription. A 500 MB daily traffic quota is included only in Bitdefender Small Office Security subscriptions. The feature helps you secure your connection every time you need, and connects you automatically to the optimal server location. To get unlimited traffic and unrestricted access to content worldwide by choosing a virtual server location at your will, subscribe to the premium version.
NOTE: The Premium VPN subscription is independent of the Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac subscription, meaning you will be able to use it for its entire availability, regardless of the state of the antivirus subscription. In case the Premium VPN subscription expires, but the one for Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac is still active, you will be reverted to the free plan.
