Nice VPN Improvements
Hello,
Usually a forum only gets the problem and issue threads, but I just wanted to leave some positive feedback of the improvements F-Secure has made with the VPN. Running Windows 11 Pro 24H2 and F-Secure Internet Security v25.4 with the VPN add-on.
Granted some of these improvements and upgrades have been out for a couple of months, and others maybe recently? But the System Tray Icon is wonderful to have those options and information right there. That there is now the WireGuard protocol. Initially connecting with WireGuard may take a little longer to connect than with Hydra, but everything is good once it connects. Previously, the US server locations were listed as northeast, southwest etc, they are now actually listed by the city names, very nice.
The App bypass list may have been around before, but it seems very easy to use. It can also go into full screen mode for ease of use.
The Hydra connection and speed is much better than before when I had Total v19. It is now just as fast as my ISP speeds, download and upload when connected to the closest server. The upload speed is even a bit faster than the default ISP speed, fantastic :) It only takes about 8 seconds to connect to a different server.
I'm glad I added this module onto my Internet Security, as it is cheaper than Mullvad for a year, and is also faster than Proton Free version which the one server it connects to at times becomes bogged down and slow (heavy use).
So far it's auto connected after 3 restarts, and seems to be keeping the connection (no drop outs as I would occasionally have in Total v19)
Well done team F-Secure, and thank you for those improvements.
