Moonlock features


Find out your protection level

Moonlock checks how many security tools are active on your Mac and gives personalized recommendations on how to improve your security posture. As you’re following Moonlock’s advice or neutralizing cyber threats, your level changes, showing your progress toward a safer Mac.


Get to know malware

When Moonlock finds malware, you’ll see what type it is, how it’s dangerous, and what to do next. Track all removed malware to see if there’s a pattern and use this knowledge to avoid risky files in the future.


Check macOS security settings

Set up all Apple security tools without taking your Mac to the Apple Store or searching for tutorials online. Moonlock has it all ready for you. Follow its step-by-step instructions to turn on Mac settings that keep you safe — and turn off those that put you at risk.


Hide your browsing

Your IP address can reveal your approximate location, internet service provider, and even help hackers piece together your visits on different websites. Moonlock hides this address with a VPN, replacing it with one from a secure server somewhere else in the world.


Limit your Mac connections

Some countries are known for hacking activity, and some are simply not relevant to you. If you never need to connect to those regions, why let them connect to your Mac? Use Moonlock to block these connections, and you’ll instantly cut off a major source of digital threats.


Learn cybersecurity fundamentals

Moonlock comes with a collection of simple habits that anyone can adopt to stay safer online. When you follow them through, like choosing stronger passwords or checking links before clicking, you’re doing something no app can do for you: creating the most personalized online protection there is.

    App version: 1.0.16

    The app is overall worth installing. However, the Moonlock Protection component disable net connection for me: ISSUE: Moonlock 2.11.1 (2604011516), installed through Setapp, caused internet access to fail across all apps on my MacBook Pro agamac.local/M4. Restarting the Mac twice did not help. DIAGNOSTICS: Network diagnostics showed that websites returned valid TCP responses, but Moonlock’s system content filter closed the connections locally before apps received them. Moonlock logs repeatedly reported: “No current verdict available, cannot report flow closed.” SOLUTION: Disabling Moonlock Protection under System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions → Endpoint Security Extensions immediately restored internet access. Google and Apple returned HTTP 200, and VPN/Tailscale reconnected successfully.[ REQUEST: Please investigate the Moonlock content-filter failure. It took a while to figure out just what was causing the internet failure.

    The number one downside for me is the VPN experience. After attempting to start the VPN, it did not work at all no matter how many times I tried. The last time I tried, it completely killed my ability to connect to the internet, even after uninstalling the app. I had to restart my computer just to send this review, and I’m still having trouble using Google Chrome.

    Hi Daniel, This one's on us, and I'm sorry. A VPN kill switch — by design — tells macOS to block all traffic until the VPN is connected. The bug on our side was that when the connection failed, that blocking rule stayed stuck instead of letting go. And since it lives in macOS settings, not in the app, uninstalling didn't remove it. To fix it now: open System Settings → VPN and remove any Moonlock configuration — that clears the leftover rule completely. We've already fixed the root cause. It's coming in one of the next updates. If anything's still off, contact our support.
