Apple has made good decisions when it comes to security and privacy, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't use antivirus on your Mac, also it doesn't mean that your Apple computer has absolute protection from spies, advertisers, and ISP. That's why virtual private networks, are so important, for your Mac.

A Mac VPN isn't just for protecting your online banking details or staying safe when torrenting, though. Also, it allows you to get unrestricted access to regional strict resources like Netflix library, and gain access to other streaming services in locations you can't physically get access to. Whatever you're planning on using it for, though, your Mac VPN should be able to do it all.

The encrypted tunnel also prevents your ISP from collecting your private data. This can be useful from a privacy perspective, but it's also handy if you want to prevent your torrent traffic from being noticed.

From the VPN server, your data exits onto the internet. Because your data appears to be coming from the VPN server, anyone watching your traffic will get in troubles if they want to discern your true location. In fact, even if they capture your IP address, they'd receive the VPN server's address instead of yours.
