McAfee Safe Connect VPN uses bank-grade AES 256-bit encryption to keep your browsing information and online habits protected at home and on-the-go. While convenient, connecting to public Wi-Fi can expose your sensitive data such as your physical location, banking account credentials and credit card information to prying eyes.
Much like a firewall protects the data on your computer, a VPN protects your activity by encrypting (or scrambling) your data when you connect to the internet from a remote or public location so you can hide IP address and online activity.
It's legal to use a VPN in most countries, including the U.S., however:
McAfee Safe Connect VPN includes five devices, and is compatible with Windows, Chrome OS, iOS and Android devices. However, the free version of the McAfee Safe Connect only supports one device and is limited to 250MB of data per month.
McAfee Safe Connect supports iOS 10.0 or later, Android 7 or higher, Chrome OS, and Microsoft Windows 10, 8.1, 8, and 7 (32- and 64-bit)
You can choose to connect McAfee VPN either manually or automatically in your Safe Connect settings. In addition, you can also add trusted networks to save on data protection by turning off VPN protection for networks you know and trust.
To set up your protection preference, simply follow these steps:
Remember that you can always view a list of all networks you have assigned as trusted in Settings.
McAfee Safe Connect uses an AES 256-bit encryption which is considered one of the most secure encryption methods and is the standard adopted by large agencies such as banking and government institutions.

With Safe Connect you can reliably:
Public Wi-Fi is convenient and readily available at hotels, coffee shops, airports, restaurants, parks and more. Oftentimes people login into these networks without thinking about the inherent risks of doing so. Because most public Wi-Fi networks do not require authentication, it not only makes it easy to use but also easy for malicious actors to access your online activity and credentials. Connecting to open networks without a VPN puts your personal data in a vulnerable position. To learn more about how a VPN works and its benefits, click here.
