Using Ghost Path with Viscosity

Video tutorial for configuring Viscosity

Viscosity is one of the absolute best VPN clients for Mac (and Windows). It’s very popular and I use it personally for a variety of reasons. I’ve put together a handy guide to help you get started with Viscosity.

Viscosity is not free, but it does come with a 30-day trial and then it’s just $14 for a license. Well worth it imo.

New Version of Ghost Path Client

New Ghost Path VPN Client

We’ve just released a brand new update to the Ghost Path VPN client. This version is meant to improve usability.

We recommend all Ghosts update to the newest version as soon as possible. You can download by logging in at ghostpath.com/members and clicking Downloads.

New Default VPN Servers

New installs of the software will see the closest VPN server automatically become the default. As always, you can change that to any server that you choose, but pre-populating with the nearest server will help new users get connected more quickly and easily.

New Random Port Setting

We’re also turning on the random port connection setting by default for new installs. This helps you stay more secure by keeping you from staying on a single port too long.
