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.

Ratings and reviews

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.

When you are connected, it is good. But the VPN constantly turns off by itself. This has been an issue for over 8 months. It has to be in McAfee itself, because when you use McAfee to scan device, it doesn't detect any viruses, malware, or anything else being present that would cause the issue.

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.
