Seems to be doing the job nicely.0

Easy to use and works well.

Great app but clunky

Great app but should be easier to turn the web protection back on after using a vpn instead of having to push 4 or 5 buttons each time.

It sucks

Don’t know who made it suck, but they should fix it.

Still trying to figure it all out

I’m happy to have Microsoft Defender. It lets me know when security issues might arise. However, I still have a few kinks to work out.

Doesn’t work for iPhone/iPad

Constant “Something went wrong” error so unable to see notifications on iOS devices. VPN works, but slows down phone.
