    In beta program the localizations to other languages are working in independent cycle from app release since we are releasing too fast to wait for localizations. This means that quite often there are some missing localizations until they catch up with the app.

    In your specific case, I touched that event text recently and it's still being localized. It will fix itself automatically since localizations update independently of the app.

    Release 25.9 beta 1 (6.6.175)

    Family Protection:

    Family Protection replaces Family Rules with simplified local management. Local administrators can now apply predefined content filtering profiles to all system users without requiring F-Secure account linking. Time limits have been removed to streamline the experience.

    • No external account linking required
    • Direct local user management
    • Predefined filtering profiles
    • Time limits removed

    VPN websites bypass:
    Specific websites or domains can be set to bypass VPN tunnel. After adding website to bypass list, browser may need to be restarted in order to get change effective due caching. Also bypass does not work if DNS over HTTPS is enabled.

    Bug fixes:

    • VPN killswitch blocks DHCP IP renewal (PBL-14985)

    Known issues:

    • Help content is not yet updated to talk about Family Protection feature
    • If license expires, Family Protection still shows active in user interface and allows changing settings, however these are not enforced
    • Automatic VPN protection feature may cause VPN to get in stuck state where it can be only recovered by rebooting device or restarting fsvpnextsvc service

    are there any prerequisites for Family Protection (to set it up)? like ability to use something built-in in system or not using child profile type in fs protection?

    okay, my trouble was related to a disabled LanmanWorkstation service or some random delayed action.

    Unfortunately, this update broke VPN for all protocols. VPN connections will not succeed after the update. Uninstall + re-install fs protection fixes the issue but we will try to fix it also automatically in next update.

    Is there a known regression bug re-introduced by the latest update "Release 25.9 beta 1 (6.6.175)", 09.09.2025, where YouTube Restricted Mode is enforced ON.
    My daughter encountered this issue this morning, her YouTube was okay yesterday.
    This update is shown in 'fs protection' "Recent events" for Tuesday 9.9.

    She was able to by-pass this issue by deactivating FS Browser Protection extension on her Firefox browser.
    Firefox 142.0.1 (64-bit)
    Windows 11 24H2

    It appears the this mode was enforced via HTTPS headers set by the FS Browser Protection extension.

    On my own computer, I do not see that issue (all same updates / versions.)
    Is there a setting to adjust this "SafeSearch" functionality?

    She is not under 18 of age. FS Family Protection is OFF and her account on "My FS" is an adult.

    Okay, good to know.
    Would you please post update here, when that fix is released (on the Beta-channel.)

    For temporary workaround, you may enable Family Protection at Settings, and then disable safe search option. After that Family Protection can be disabled again.
