Freedome VPN not working
Hey , I formatted my MAC os computer. I downgraded Monterey from mojave version. While it works fine in the Monterey version, Mojave also stays on this screen and does not improve for hours. I remember making some network settings in the Monterey version, but the program prompted me. I tried many different locations.

About FREEDOME and execution vulnerabilities in ARM-based and Intel-based CPUs (i.e. Spectre, Meltdo
The recently uncovered security issues known as Meltdown and Spectre affect nearly all computing devices and operating systems. Exploiting many of these issues requires a malicious code to be loaded and executed on the targeted computing device. F-Secure uses various hosting vendors for VPN Service Nodes (VPN Gateways) to…

OpenVPN conf files and certificates
Hi! Would it be possible to release configuration files and certificates for Freedome servers over OpenVPN (Like e.g. NordVPN does)? For basically no effort on F-Secures part (Because Freedome seemingly already uses OpenVPN?) it would allow VPN compatability with basically every OS out there, and make me and a lot of other…

Freedome for Linux
I'm aware that client for Mac is coming in 2015. But how about Linux? Linux userbase is arguably growing all the time and will continue growing thanks to Valves SteamOS, Edward Snowden and so on.. Even Mikko Hypponen talks about how open source could be the solution (for gaining our privacy back) and the way to go, so I…

Nice VPN Improvements

Last update broke my computer
Good Morning; Yesterday Freedome did an update to my Windows 10 computer. Now it can take up to 10 seconds for the Resolving Host message to clear on my Chrome browser. On another W10 computer that hasn't updated, everything is fine. I uninstalled and reinstalled and that didn't fix it. I tried a competitors VPN and it…

Freedome VPN running at router level
Given the current changes allowing ISPs to capture and sell your account activity info, I would think this would be a major issue. I am really surprised to see the note that this topic was discontinued for lack of interest. The management of F-Secure should take a second look at this to see if they are missing a major…

Mac F-secure VPN stopped working
Maybe After an update, the F-secure VPN stopped working. It gives me list of instructions ( this is the ONLY software I have ever used that frequently asks the customer to jump over sets of hoops, just to keep working). Anyway, the first step is "Click Continue to start loading the system extension. This opens a system…

F-Secure VPN does not work at all - MacOS
F-Secure version 19.6 (6.19.23) and MacOS Sonoma 14.5 Since I switched a week ago from Freedome VPN, f-secure does not correctly manage VPN. It worked at first. Now, it usually says "loading" for VPN. I have re-started, re-installed. I will not change security settings on my M2 studio. as of today, every time I log in, it…

Activating Freedome causes SSL errors on all websites
When turning on Freedome I get SSL errors on all websites regardless of which site it is. This is when using Sweden as the location. The error on Vivaldi browser is "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH". Turning Freedome off makes all websites accessible again. Is there some issue going on?

Solution to the Freedome Linux Support Issue
F-Secure claims they don't want to support the Linux desktop because of fragmentation and market share. The Linux community has come up with a solution for that called AppImage (built on a similar concept to Mac OS's DMG) to solve fragmentation. With AppImage dot org you can write an application once and it runs on any…

Connect to freedome with hardware router (which supports ipsec)
Can I use my hardware router (EdgeMax Lite in this particular case) to connect to Freedome VPN instead of a software client? It doesn't need to be a fully supported way, it's enough if there's a set of unofficial parameters which I can enter to the configuration by myself.

F-secure app (VPN) icon on Windows taskbar does not tell the status of VPN (on/off)
I used the former F-Secure Freedom a long time and just like other VPN programs, its icon on the Windows takbar gave the status of VPN (on/off) without any further efforts. Having now considered a return to F-secure from a rivaling product, I took the current F-Secure VPN app into the free 5 day test. Immediately I noticed…

Horrible user interface after switching from Freedome
Dear F-Secure, The switch from Freedome VPN to the new F-Secure app severely degraded the user experience. You cannot turn the app off anymore. Previously, this was possible by right-clicking on the task bar icon and selecting the exit option. You can no longer turn the VPN on or off directly from the task bar right-click…

F-Secure is unreliable and the UI is garbage
I'd been using Freedome for years on multiple devices. Recently I was forced to "upgrade" to F-Secure. It's been rubbish. There are the updates that take half an hour, during which time the program is unresponsive, and the VPN is off. There are the random changing of the settings, sometimes turning off the "Automatic VPN…

Constantly losing connectivity on Freedome
Hello, I've used Freedome for 3 years, this past 12 months the service, I must say it, has been absolutely awful. I don't see why I should renew my F-secure subscription for another year. There is nothing that can be done, on F-Secure's end, as no one is going to check the networks just because, I, am having a problem,…
