    Hello @ikamusume @JOnes

    The trusted networks settings have been removed for the new F-Secure VPN for Android. However you can allow or deny accessing local devices in any network by switching this option on or off in the VPN settings. 

    To make sure your WiFi connections are safe, turn on the new WiFi Protection feature as follows:

    1. Open the F-Secure app.
    2. On the main view of the app, select Scam Protection.
    3. Select WiFi Protection. This opens the WiFi Protection view. When WiFi Protection is switched on, this view shows you statistics on the number of safe and unsafe WiFi connections.
    4. Switch on WiFi Protection.
    5. Switch on Turn on VPN automatically if you want to use VPN whenever you connect to an unsafe or open WiFi network. This protects your personal information in cases where the security of the WiFi network may be compromised. Select the notifications that you want to see.

    Thank you and have a lovely day.

    @Firmy I think the specifications and definitions of the "safe" local(home) LANs/Wifi´s are somewhat confused,they should be redesigned in the future(eg. similarly named option does not mean the same in other platform,or is totally missing)
