Hello!
My apologies for the delay in reply. The Brave Firewall + VPN is coming to desktop soon! We are still in the process of testing these new platforms including Windows/Mac devices. Please stay tuned.
I am on an iMac and looking forward to having the VPN and Firewall.

## Description
Part of parent issue https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/iss… ues/15804
The goal here would be to create an implementation in `brave-core` which handles VPN on macOS. Each OS can provide an OS specific implementation for a "VPN Service".
This would need the ability to:
- Create a VPN connection with the OS.
- Update a connection (if details change)
- Connect to the VPN
- Disconnect from the VPN
- Remove the VPN connection from the OS
We should be able to do an implementation similar to [what was done on iOS](https://github.com/brave/brave-ios/pull/2740). Also see files in https://github.com/brave/brave-ios/tree/development/Client/Frontend/BraveVPN (@iccub lead the implementation on iOS)

Hello!
Indeed months have passed, and we have been very busy working to bring desktop and multi platform support to folks. This was more complicated than simply releasing a desktop version as we are also introducing a fully customized purchasing option so that folks are able to purchase the subscription without Google or Apple, and they will be able to share the new subscription cross-platform. Please hang tight as this is coming very soon.
Kind Regards,
