Don’t use SecureNet!

It’s so bad, it automatically adds legitimate websites under ‘block’ or adds suspicious harmful, and sensitive websites (not even proper website addresses) under ‘allow’ - crazy!
Doesn’t notify you and provide option to decline or accept each time which would solve that problem - or why not just let customers add their own websites instead of Vodafone making assumptions..?!
As a result, you have to keep checking what is allowed or blocked and manually delete as appropriate.
Not knowing actually makes things less secure!!
Vodafone offer no solution and a developer replied and just said ‘use social media channels’ if I wanted to discuss, but no idea how that works so I’m not going to lose another 60 minutes my life finding out.
Use a better, more secure provider that doesn’t charge £2 monthly and have a very unsafe element, rip-off and very poor service as a Vodafone customer!

Response from developer

We understand that your experience with Secure Net has been quite frustrating, especially with the automatic blocking and allowing of websites. Your feedback about the absence of notifications and the need for more user control is invaluable. If you could share more details via our social media channels, it would greatly assist us in addressing this issue. Thank you for your insights, and we hope you find a solution that better meets your needs moving forward.

Doing its job

Secure net seems to do its job but doesn’t actually give me any real information on what it’s blocking. It will tell me that it has blocked suspicious activity but when you click on the notification, it just opens the app and doesn’t give any info on what it is or how to deal with it?? Bit frustrating and I’m struggling to identify the culprit.

Response from developer

It's wonderful to know that Secure Net is effectively blocking suspicious activity for you! We truly appreciate your feedback about the notifications not providing detailed information. We hear your concerns about the notifications and need for clarity regarding the devices being blocked. Your feedback is valuable, and it highlights areas where we can improve communication. We're consistently looking to improve the product, please bear with us as this feature is on its way soon.

Useless Rubbish

Randomly blocks speed tests ? Probably to hide how poor their WiFi 7 router is. Absolutely shameful and should not be sold

keeps blocking legitimate work

Hard to use when secure net decides legitimate web apps are security threats. Trying to find a whitelist is nearly impossible. Poor app design

Ok

Great that it protects my network, but what is the point of a notification and then not being able to review it and its impact.
Update. Now get notification with what the attempt was but still no detail in the app just high level number. Need which device the attempt was made on, even if it is just the IP address and the malware. So I can investigate more

Excellent app

Highly recommended

Unreliable

The app is unreliable. It doesn’t always stick to the times that have been set for restrictions. None of the functions work every time. Really not impressed.

Brilliant service

Secure net

Very good

Don’t use this service!

It’s so bad, it incorrectly adds legitimate websites to ‘block’ or adds suspicious, harmful, sensitive and incorrect information (not even proper website addresses) to ‘allow’ - on its own, without even notifying you and giving you the option to decline or accept each time which would solve the problem!
As a result, you have to keep checking what is allowed or blocked and manually delete as appropriate.
It actually makes things less safe not more secure, completely contradictory! I asked Vodafone and they have no answer, unbelievable!!
Use a better provider that also doesn’t charge £2 monthly, absolute rip-off as a Vodafone customer…

Vodafone Secure Net

Brilliant stay safe Vodafone Secure Net is the best protection I’ve used Vodafone Secure Net for years it’s brilliant

Disabling a website

It’s the most unhelpful site for requesting a service

Badly rushed app

I don’t think they have a testing and quality control team. The UI features incorrect warnings and disconnected information. Cannot speak to team as no contact info on contact page.

Not great

The controls don’t work. Customer service completely clueless. Quite disappointed to say the least

Scam

Can you explain how did you managed to block a some scammy threat on some Iphone 5 when no one in a household has it? This app is simply fake

Apps

I went on the pets at home app and then a message from Vodafone saying-secure net has blocked petsathomefriendsandfamily. Com as it is known for malicious activity. I’ve had the pet at home apps for years and this is the first time this has happened.

Why MAC address?

Firstly, I find it frustrating that this functionality sits in a separate app to my existing Vodafone Broadband app. Coming from an ASUS system which houses all the functionality in once place, two apps seems unnecessary.

But my biggest gripe is the App’s insistence that I identify devices using their MAC address. All too often, the easiest way to identify my devices is via its IP address but this app won’t let me do that. Worse, despite having over 50 connected devices, only about half seem to show up. Ultimately, I have been unable to identify all of the devices used by my family making this app rather pointless.

Your feedback is invaluable, and insights could be crucial in enhancing the experience for everyone. Thank you for your input, and we hope to see improvements that align with your needs.

Inconsistent

Was an App that basically didn’t work on the latest iPhones until recently, but seems to have been revived from life support. Cautiously optimistic

Blocks AirPlay

Generate rubbish, blocks necessary traffic on my home network including Apple AirPlay
