How to toggle F-secure VPN on/off in one click?
Should I wish to enable/disable VPN in previous Freedome versions, a "Right-click" on Freedome icon was an option previously.
In the recently merged "all-in-one" F-secure application, this is no longer a possibility.
First I will have to open the F-secure application, then I will have to open the VPN "module" to disable and enable the feature.
How can this be avoided?

Hello,
I am also only an F-Secure user.
Not an answer, but a discussion.
then I will have to open the VPN "module" to disable and enable the feature.
How can this be avoided?
To use "always ON" (I mean, 'Automatic VPN protection' - reference there: Turning on the VPN connection | Total | Latest | F-Secure User Guides) :)
If this is not an option (obviously - not; for example, I do not like that way):
If 'chosen before' location is good enough - you can just click 'Turn on' on the "module"-card without need to go inside. For turning it off - indeed, there is a need to open the module view and switch the toggle off.
Some improvements (or helpful items for a workaround) can be with future releases.
But, yet, you can vote this feature request:
// just interesting; do you often turning on and turning off VPN connection? What is the main need to disable it? For using a certain application or a certain website?
Because, for example, if you have to turn ON / turn OFF Privacy VPN with its current routine - just once a day - it is not really that 'annoying'. Maybe, compared to any other modern software - it is an old school - but.. I feel that if it is so - F-Secure will make some functionality for a more 'easy and fast' control options. Sooner or later.
Thanks!
