App summary

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.

• 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:

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

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.

QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK?

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.

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.

The app glitches a lot; it works perfectly on the computer or laptop, but it is terrible on the phone. I mainly use this for everyday tasks that a VPN would be useful for, but it's such a hassle trying to get it to work and operate well. It's so frustrating, not even this app. All the McAfee apps are just so complicated and make things more difficult than they should be. I am low-key thinking about switching to a different service.
