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.

What most people don't realise is that they have to go into settings and fiddle around with the app a bit to make it work. You have to find the app, and then switch the Automatic Launches to Manual, and then it works like a charm. The reason behind this is that Android automatically restricts background launches to save power, thus the VPN not working. Perhaps McAfee could put this in their App Setup to give the user an idea of what they need to do, as judging from the reviews, many are unsure.

I installed this app because I found that its VPN actually WORKS, as opposed to the "Total Protection". VPN never worked for me on my android phones. On my PCs and laptops, no problem. Update on Safe Connect: The app works very well except that if protection was turned off on an app, when Safe Connect goes off (which it does when it feels like it!), then when it comes back on, it never seems to remember which apps you turned off protection. This should be fixed.

I was able to connect through India till a few days back but, now, its not even listing down "India" as an option. Couple of days back, when I tried connecting through India, I was getting some errors saying something was not right. After trying for a while, it got connected but the connection dropped multiple times, and I had to re connect everytime
