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

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.

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.

I was satisfied and had some peace of mind because I thought that this app was working properly. I have had the same issues that others are listing, plus some. I was having more trouble with my McAfee Security at that time and it just got worse. My email accts were hacked(2) & an Amazon account. I no longer feel safe and secure online! Some of these things have never changed. I need help....

They've improved this app significantly since i started using it. it had a bug where sometimes it would display a weird error message and it wouldn't connect. Also, you used to not have the option to select which networks to trust. Now the bug is gone, you can select which networks to trust, and the interface is cleaner and nicer. Only issue, it won't alert you if it can't connect which it should so you dont think you are protected when you are not. But it's worth it regardless.

Hi Joe, thanks a lot for sharing your feedback. Open Safe Connect, tap on Settings from the menu, then select 'automatically on wi-fi and mobile networks'. This would make sure you’re always protected in risky situations by automatically turning on McAfee Safe Connect. For further clarification, please reach us at service.mcafee.com anytime.
