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
