Choose your server

When you open the server list you will be able to see and select all the servers we offer at the moment. The server that is currently selected can be identified by the checkmark on the right side of the server. Choose from which country you want to use the internet and immediately enjoy the benefits. Or use the Smart Server, which will choose the best server for you.

 

GOOSE VPN has four types of servers: 

• Normal servers: For daily usage
• Cyber Alarm servers: To use the Cyber Alarm and get notifications of potential risks
• P2P (peer-to-peer) servers: To download
• Streaming servers: To use streaming services or stream other videos. 

The Smart Server option is an option that compacts all the same type of servers (Normal, Cyber Alarm, P2P, and Streaming) for each country. Automatically the best server for your chosen location will be used. Turning or keeping this option off will however give you more control on which server you use.

 

When you connect to a server on macOS with GOOSE VPN for the first time, you will be asked whether GOOSE VPN can configure connections via VPN. Enter your macOS user password here, and press "Allow."
