Probably it will be updated over the course of time since it will be integrated to the F-Secure TOTAL. I found this article while trying to find some more info about Freedome VPN features.

since I am mostly new to F-Secure and have it running on VM I don't use every day, I followed the FS link to FS forum, but that it does not have link to 19.0 Beta. If I login to my FS account will I find 19.0 Beta there or is there a separate beta channel you have to sign up for to get the betas? If I find time today, I'll run that VM.

EDIT searched some more at FS and it looks like you have to request and be issued a beta key, correct?

Stuff like that is always nice, it feels like they are active and supporting the product.

In terms of nurturing the beta version, I feel that it is similar to the feeling of a parent watching over an infant.👶
I've been using fsp for about a year now and can't see any noticeable difference from the official release version of safe. Beta accounts protect up to 3 devices.
I plan to continue using this for the time being.
