  • Good somewhat of a VPN

    By pupragnar
    I've been using Microsoft Defender VPN for a while now, and my experience has been a bit of a mixed bag. There are some definite highlights, but also a few drawbacks that can't be ignored. **The Good:** The VPN service does have its moments. When it works well, it provides a solid and secure connection, which is crucial for maintaining privacy online. The interface is user-friendly and integrates smoothly with other Microsoft Defender services. **The Bad:** Unfortunately, the high battery usage is a significant downside. My device's battery drains quickly when the VPN is active, which is inconvenient, especially when I'm on the go. Additionally, the dark web monitoring feature, while a nice touch, falls short. It doesn't offer a lot of options for dealing with compromised information, leaving me feeling a bit unprotected in that aspect. Overall, Microsoft Defender VPN is decent but has room for improvement, particularly in terms of battery efficiency and dark web monitoring capabilities.
  • Defender?

    I attempted to add my email for monitoring. For verification, Defender sent me an email with a code to enter into Defender. I immediately, within seconds, entered the code in Defender and received: Invalid code. What? It’s the exact same code I received. After several attempts, receiving the same Defender error message I quit! Defender?

    Received Offline error message, but update reached halfway point before failure. No other Apps have this problem..
  • Makes Internet/Wifi Usage Problematic

    First of all this app comes with a “VPN”. Said VPN does not turn off when switched off. I’ve had innumerable problems being on WiFi or cellular and not able to load websites due to this app bogging my phone down.
  • Bad design

    There’s no way to see the list of links that were blocked, or to report false positives.
  • VPN Issue

    By Brad Cox
    I turn off VPN in the app, and the VPN doesn’t turn off in the iOS settings. When I try to turn off the VPN in settings in automatically turns back on. Also VPN slows my connection dramatically. Can’t use this app any longer until issues are fixed.
  • Incompatible if you already use a VPN

    Not sure how good this is or is not because I already have a VPN service and you cannot run them both at the same time.

    I had to uninstall this because even after trying to google how to stop it, every time i went to turn off the VPN it would flip back on! sometimes it would turn off for a while then randomly come back on! but thanks for letting me know someone is apparently using my social security number?
