New Update FS Protection PC 19.0 releases (beta)

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

@Gandalf_The_Grey , do you mind show some screenshots on this VPN implementation? I have no idea as I don't use the Beta version.

Unfortunately I think the VPN is not included in my beta license.

When i go to My FS Protection and click on F-Secure FREEDOME VPN it takes me to a page where I can buy a license.
All other options, FS Protection, FS ID Guardian and FS ID Guardian-controle do work.

It's in Estonian, but you'll get the idea



Old one was a bit clumsy. Now it looks better.

The VPN gui in FS protection it self?

My beta account seem to have VPN it's show up on my FS protection account but not able to download since device type pop up is blank might try it via browser Dev tool later.

Will be a bit extra interesting how this is pushed out and installed for the stable version when released. Thanks for the share!

Have you ever tried using the Ziggo F-secure license for the beta?

No, but Ziggo Safe Online is F-Secure Safe and also does not include the F-Secure Freedome VPN.

Correct, it's part of main UI

Not here….. sorry, screenshot didn’t save.

 

[simmerskool]

do we know if FS is adding split tunneling to Freedome with the updates?

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

@upnorth finally got the VPN part in fs protection (staged rollout?).

But what would the purpose of this Privacy-VPN?
Do we need to enable this all the time, even on trusted networks (example when at home)?
Or do we only enable this on untrusted networks?
There is a slight impact on the speed of my internet connection when enabled.

Will it replace Freedome VPN in the future?

Here are some screenshots in Dutch:

Will it replace Freedome VPN in the future?

That, is a good question and even if I can guess it will after seen these screenshots, as a Freedome VPN user I can't recall seen anything official about that specific either on their site or been sent any information.

Some more info from F-Secure about the VPN feature:

It works like any normal VPN. If you want to hide your identity you can turn it on, but there is no need to keep it on all the time. We will release soon an update to Windows beta that makes the off state more neutral (gray instead of yellow) so it's clearer that there is no to keep it on all the time.

If you keep VPN on, there is the additional tracking protection, but it might cause trouble when accessing some services which don't like VPNs.

What is the purpose of the Privacy-VPN ?

Now we have the Privacy-VPN in fs protection. What is the idea? Do we need to enable this all the time, even on trusted networks (example when at home)?
