About this app

If you’re interested in using a reliable, safe and completely free VPN that will keep all of your online activity secure, then McAfee has the service that will completely and conveniently guard your online privacy.

FREE VPN

We’re confident that our free VPN will provide a high level of online protection from digital threats, unsecure networks, and random hack attacks, and with Safe Connect your devices are effectively protected even when using public Wi-Fi hotspots. Using Safe Connect’s VPN, all of your online activity transmitted through the secure VPN connection - including sites visited, personally identifiable information and all other sensitive information - is both fully protected and completely private.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

✔ Wi-Fi Security

• Activate a secure and safe VPN connection for all of your devices at home, or whenever and wherever you’re using public Wi-Fi hotspots

• Our upgraded 256-bit bank-grade encryption enables you to protect all of your online activities, browsing activities, and all other sensitive information securely from cybercriminals

✔ Online Privacy

• Search online with comprehensive security while keeping your personal data private, and all of your most sensitive information safe from lurking threats

• Mask your IP from cybercriminals with our hotspot VPN, ensuring your online activities remain both private and secure no matter where you are, or where you go.

✔ Unblock All Geo-Restricted Content

• Unblock sites and enable an even wider range of online content without unnecessary geo-restrictions blocking your access

• Visit, browse and use all of your favorite social media, entertainment and shopping websites with confidence while traveling

✔ No Ads

• Enjoy an ad-free app environment

PREMIUM VPN SUBSCRIPTION

Please continue using our app for free for as long as you like, or simply upgrade to the Premium VPN Subscription at your convenience. Your Premium Service will include:

• Unlimited usage cap (no more monthly 250 MB limit)

• Protection for up to 5 devices

• 24/7/365 Customer Support


In addition, you’ll also enjoy:

A 7-day free trial: Free of charge with no commitment, which you can conveniently cancel at anytime

• Your subscription automatically renews unless you choose to turn off auto-renew anywhere up to 24 hours before the end of the current period

• Your choice of either monthly of annual subscription length

Subscription price: Monthly $7.99 or Annually $47.99

• Subscriptions may be conveniently managed, and auto-renewal may be turned off anytime up to 24 hours prior to current period end by simply going to Account Settings following your purchase

WHEN TO USE?

We suggest you keep Safe Connect’s free VPN service with Wi-Fi protection turned ON whenever you’re online to minimize your online security risks and keep your sensitive data safe from prying eyes and sticky fingers. Unlike your home Wi-Fi, the vast majority of public Wi-Fi hotspots aren’t password-protected and do NOT encrypt any data being transmitted, leaving all of your information vulnerable to corruption. As a direct consequence, whenever you connect to a public hotspot without VPN service, all of your online activities - from social media content to bank account information - may become vulnerable to hackers and other cyberthreats. With McAfee Safe Connect VPN, your online privacy and your Wi-Fi security are protected.

McAfee has been proud to offer our industry leading experience, our proven track record, and our long-term commitment to providing security confidence to all of our digital age consumers in an ever-expansive online world.

This is a review on the renewal process itself, not the app. The app is very effective, and I would give it 5-stars. I have been attempting to renew this three times already. I get a notification that I have to sign in, and even though I open the app and am signed in, it still does not reflect my subscription. I was charged for the renewal, and even if I sign out and sign back in, the changes do not reflect.

In general, I feel OK about this system but it is not foolproof so I debated between a 3 or a 4. I use Safe Connect vs setting up a VPN on my phone and tablet; however, for unknown reasons, it will drop the connection and there is no notification. So, unless I check it everytime I pick up a device to do anything, I have no way of knowing if I am protected or not. Not good. Also, supposedly, I have a total protection package, but there are parts of the app that just don't work.

Randomly disconnects on my Android device. I have app set to automatically turn on with cell phone or Wi-Fi connection. It does sometimes, and sometimes it does not. When I try to connect it manually I keep getting the same error message. When I tried to send an email regarding this to McAfee I got the same error message. "Oops. Something went wrong!" Not helpful Note: I have double checked all of my settings. I make sure they're exactly the same to try to turn it on. It works or it doesn't
