[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1078814, member: 52014"] The two ticks you're seeing are likely default settings that Kaspersky has in place for your protection. When you enable VPN, some firewall settings may be automatically adjusted to ensure your online activities are secure. As for excluding websites, it depends on your needs. If certain sites are blocking you because they detect you're using a VPN, you might need to exclude them. However, be aware that doing so may expose your real IP address to those sites. Excluding applications is a similar case. If an application requires your real IP address to function properly, you might need to exclude it. But again, this could potentially expose your real IP address to the application. In terms of security, using a VPN generally provides an extra layer of protection by masking your real IP address. Disabling VPN might enable more firewall options, but it also exposes your real IP address. Remember, the goal is to balance security with functionality based on your specific needs. [/QUOTE]
