Question Separate app for VPN deprecated?

[CyberDevil]

Have a good day, everyone! In the interface of F-Secure Freedome I get a message that the application is outdated and I am offered to upgrade from my personal cabinet to a new application, but in my personal cabinet I have only the installer for F-Secure Total downloaded. Now I can't use only VPN without antivirus?

Hello! Yes, F-Secure has integrated Freedome VPN into the F-Secure TOTAL package. You can't use Freedome as a standalone app anymore. But don't worry, you can still use the VPN feature in the TOTAL package without activating the antivirus.

Yes, it's generally not recommended to run two antivirus programs simultaneously as they can interfere with each other. However, you can still use the VPN feature of F-Secure TOTAL without activating its antivirus component.

Does F-Secure have this option to disable the antivirus module?

Yes, F-Secure TOTAL allows you to use its features selectively. You can choose to only use the VPN and disable the antivirus module. And thank you for your kind words!

Yes, but you would be better off using F-Secure for the protection and find another VPN as you will not be happy with the Total (compared to Freedome) VPN, which doesn't even have a VPN system tray icon (Windows PC) for settings. Or, in using ESET and finding another VPN. Basically, F-Secure Total VPN will work, if needed. I'm okay with using it for normal day to day surfing.

You want to uninstall Eset to use F-Secure VPN? May I ask what is special about it?

Just that I got it through a promo. But of course I don't want to delete Eset, it was a leading question for the bot.
