Release 26.4 beta 1 (7.2.174)
Improvements:
- All HTTP/3 traffic in the system is scanned and blocked if needed. Previously only HTTP/3 traffic in browsers with extension installed could be scanned.
- Settings UI/Scam Protection/Browser extensions: when a given web browser is not installed, its extension’s URL can be copied to clipboard using the new “Copy link“ button in the “Browser not found“ popup. In particular, users of Chromium-based browsers can make use of this to obtain the URL of the Chrome extension and install it to their browsers.
- Some minor text updates to unify wording with Mac/iOS/Android clients.
- VPN taking long to connect on Windows 10 with Killswitch ON
- “Search result rating” is now separate option at Settings->Scam protection tab.
Bug fixes:
- VPN connection does not succeed often after system returns from sleep (PBL-15388)
Known issues:
- Blocked HTTP/3 connections time out
- Fragmented HTTP/3 connections are not blocked

Release 26.4 beta 2 (7.2.278)
Improvements:
- In Family Protection, with Strict content blocking profile, the logic of blocking "Unknown" websites has been changed to be more permissive. Previously, websites would be blocked when they were unknown to Security Cloud, when obtaining their reputation information from Security Cloud failed, or when they were known but they had not been categorized as containing specific content types. Now, they will be blocked only in the latter case – when they are known to Security Cloud while not being specifically categorized, i.e. their content categories are uncertain.

Version 26.4
Released April 2026
Browsing Protection
- Scanning HTTP/3 traffic is now system-wide. Previously it only applied to browsers with the extension installed.
- When a browser is not installed, you can copy its extension's installation URL to your clipboard using the new "Copy link" button in the "Browser not found" dialog.
- "Search result rating" toggle has been moved to a separate section under Settings -> Scam Protection to make it clearer that it affects both Browsing Protection and Shopping Protection.
Family Protection
- With the Strict content blocking profile, fewer legitimate websites will be incorrectly blocked. Only websites with genuinely uncertain content will be restricted.
Improvements:
- Minor text updates to align with other platforms.
- Fixed slow VPN connection times on Windows 10 with Kill Switch enabled.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue where VPN failed to reconnect after the system resumed from sleep.
- Fixed a location info text issue for VPN feature card.
- ID Monitoring: Breached plaintext passwords, usernames and other fields are now viewable.
Known limitations:
- Blocked HTTP/3 connections time out instead of failing immediately.
- Full HTTP/3 blocking across all network conditions is not yet guaranteed.
