more The VPN properly masks your IP address and prevents DNS, IPv6 and WebRTC leaks. And considering the fact that it is free, as it is included in the full anti virus and VPN suite, I’ll rate this all-in-one package a great deal.
Developer Response Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback. We are really glad you like it. :)

I bought your app some years ago and enjoyed it so much. I decided to do so again and it has really been disappointing. On the same device I bought the app, you keep asking me for product key. Can’t you read the subscription on my device? Your vpn keeps failing me by choosing my real location as my virtual location. I am really disappointed because I used to rep your app. Since your recent upgrade it has been a disaster. Kindly resolve please. It’s quite painful not getting value for money.
Developer Response We are concerned about your experience. We would certainly like to take a closer look into the issues you mentioned. Please contact our support team at service.mcafee.com/contact. We will work together to resolve your concerns as soon as possible. Thanks!

During the last 2 months, I have been receiving a lot of spam emails all carrying your imprint, urging me to renew my subscription before being cut off. In actual fact, my subscription has not expired!!Please re-engineer your system. You can’t protect us if you cannot protect yourself. What is the point of paying you for a subscription?KF Lagos
