Mac also has the ability to use a VPN which makes a secure operating system just a little bit more secure.
Select the VPN app on the OS X desktop or in the Dock.

If you configured your VPN through Mac OS X and not the app, do this:
Select the Apple menu icon at the top left of the desktop.
Select System Preferences and Network.
Select the VPN connection in the left pane of the Network window.
Select Disconnect.
