Freedom takes a long time to connect

Missmeo

Hi! I’m a Mac used and Freedome takes ages to connect. I’ve un and re-installed it and sis the killswitch thing I fould on anotjer thread. Also, is it possible to change which servers it uses? It is very frustrating not to be able to switch servers if the current one is blocked ny a site. Feeling disappointed I chose this VPN over others.

Hello @Missmeo !

Please follow the steps below to fully remove F-Secure FREEDOME VPN from your Mac before the re-installation process:

1. Log on to your Mac as an Administrator.
2. Open Terminal.
3. Type in the following command: sudo /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.f-secure.fsvpn-service-helper.production --uninstall-app , and press Enter.
4. Type in your Administrator password when asked.
5. Restart your computer and install F-Secure FREEDOME VPN again.
6. Check whether FREEDOME takes less time to connect to a virtual server.

Should the above fail, follow the steps below to manually remove Freedome.

Thanks, I’ll try that. On the second one: I meant changing server within the same country.
