Ratings and reviews

This is one of the most annoying VPN clients I've ever used. It runs in the background and never closes once you open it. Because of that it shows a persistent notification without any actions like end or close. You also have to type credentials every time you want to use it. Would rate higher if it had biometrics or a way to close it from the persistent notification.

Until recently I had the same issues as everyone else: Password not remembered, app has to be force quit or it never stops running once launched. But now it's worse: in my list of apps that give notifications it's now a hidden system app, and will not permit notifications to be enabled. This hides from the user that, once launched, the app always runs in the background even if disconnected. You have to know that it must be force quit to shut it down. I need this for my job or would not use it.

This application is really bad. It has no option to save credentials and it won't even let you use the capabilities of your phone: like passcode or biometric authentication... Companies are paying thousands of dollars the get these equipments just to get this quality of service?! This not acceptable! Soon, I'll be replacing Checkpoint for more realibe solutions.
