I've managed to reconnect all of them, but one refuses to open your app. The computer is an iMac running Mac OS Sonoma v.14.6.1. Without the ability to open this app, we can't activate the…
F-Secure Total version 19.7 hangs in Mac OS 14.6.1 when opening
Hi, I have an active subscription from F-Secure's Freedome VPN that I successfully migrated to F-Secure Total a few weeks ago. I verified that my subscription is active until 3rd Nov 2024, so still a few months left before renewal. I also have successfully used the VPN feature of the new app but now the app suddenly…
Onko Mäkin Sonoma-päivitys syynä VPN-ongelmiin
Päivin MacBook Airini Sonoma 14.6.1-versioon – ei olisi pitänyt. Ilmeisesti TAAS on ongelma F-Securen VPN:n ja Sonoman yhteensopivuudessa. Tai ainakin netti tökkii niin että hermo menee. Viimeksi vuosi sitten oli samanlainen rumba. Mitä kannattaa tehdä? En siis saa nettiä toimimaan, jos VPN on päällä. Viimeksi meni…
Virus protection päällä vai pois
Laitoin hetkeksi virus protectionin pois päältä, ja sitten uudelleen päälle. Nyt käyttöliittymä herjaa siitä, että virus protection pitäisi laittaa päälle → kun menen asetuksiin, se on ruksattu päälle. Olen käynnistellyt f-securea uudestaan, mutta en nyt ole varma olenko suojattuna? Versio 19.7, Mac M1

Playing a music with no reason
I just had an odd encounter. My computer started playing a techno/dance music tune. I didn't have any music player programmes (such as iTunes or Windows Media Player) open at the time, and the music was not what I listen to, so it seemed unlikely to have come from my music library. At first, I assumed it was an ad from a…

F-Secure Total VPN blocks Mac Magic Keyboard Touch ID
I have a problem with Apple Magic Keyboard Touch ID and the reason to it seems to be VPN. Touch ID rarely worked when the keyboard was in BT-mode. It works fine when I connect it to my Mac mini with a cable. So I called Apple support today and they gave me a few things to try on it. First one was to disconnect my VPN. So I…
removed Freedome still interfering with F-Secure VPN
When I inactivate F-Secure VPN and then try to activate it, I have a pop up message (see attached file) and I can't activate it. I need to restart my iMac to have F-Secure running (launched at start up) it seems kind of "freedome" ghost is still haunting my iMac although I did remote it after installing F-Secure VPN. My…

Uusin Freedome versio ei toimi Sonoma 14.4.1
3. huhtikuuta tuli ilmoitus Freedomen päivityksestä mäkille, jonka asensin ja tämän jälkeen Freedome ei ole toiminut.

Asennuksen jälkeen kun Freedome käynnistyy, niin tulee…
Mac App not working properly
Hey, I have a few issues with the F-Secure total installation on my M1 Pro and Windows. Only on Mac: When trying to initialize the password manager, it asks me to create a master password, but it won't accept any password.

Why is macOS Sonoma is very slow
Hello, I have a new M2 Mac Studio running Sonoma v14.1.1. I've installed (and uninstalled) F-Secure Total 3 different times now. In all cases, the Mac UI became virtually unusable because of the resources Total was consuming. I accepted all default settings for Total. No configuration changes were made. Like I said, the…

Freedome/VPN doesn't work with Tailscale on a Mac
I have been using both F-Secure Freedome/VPN and Tailscale for several years. Until recently I have been able to keep Tailscale running in the background while making a connection with Freedome. I start and connect Freedome only when I really need it, which is perhaps once in a month. About 2 months ago I started noticing…
Viruspäivitys ei onnistu Macin valikkoriviltä F-ikonista
Lieneekö muilla sama ominaisuus, mutta virustietojen päivitys ei onnistu jos sen tekee valikkorivin F-ikonista kohdasta "hae päivitykset". Tuloksena on ilmoitus "Päivityksen tarkistus epäonnistui. Tarkista yhteys ja yritä uudelleen". Mutta jos käynnistän F-secure Total -apin niin päivitys onnistuu apin ollessa käynnissä…
