F‑Secure VPN

Yes. When you connect to F‑Secure VPN, you will have the option to choose the server location from a list of over 20 countries. Some countries also have several different locations to choose from. Typically, closer locations will give you better performance compared to gate­ways on the other side of the world.

F‑Secure VPN is available globally, except for certain countries.

VPN supports Windows 10 version 21H2 or later, Windows 11, macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, iOS 17 or later, and Android 10 or later. Intel-based and Apple silicon Macs are both supported. Our VPN does not yet support Windows devices with ARM64 processors. 32-bit Windows systems are not supported.

With the F‑Secure VPN Kill Switch feature, you can prevent accidental leakage of your data to the internet if you momentarily lose your VPN connection. Available on Windows, Mac, and Android operating systems.

If you have purchased F‑Secure VPN, you need to create a My F‑Secure account to start protecting your devices. It only takes a moment to sign up, and you will have all your security information in one easy-to-use service.

Many of us have more than one device, including mobile devices. Keeping track of all our devices, and ensuring they are protected can be challenging. My F‑Secure gives you an overview of your whole subscription and device status, whereas in the F‑Secure VPN app you can only control the protection status of an individual device.

With a My F‑Secure account, you can check how many spare licenses you have, add or remove devices and share licenses with your family members. You can also view the expiration date and extend your subscription, check prices and expand your protection with other F‑Secure products.

My F‑Secure is the home of your protection. It’s the place where you can get an overview and manage all the devices that are protected under your F‑Secure subscription.

With a My F‑Secure account, you can adapt the security to your individual needs such as add or remove devices, see prices or subscription options, purchase other products or manage parental controls.

If you are already using F‑Secure Internet Security or ID Protection and have a subscription code for F‑Secure VPN (previously called FREEDOME VPN), we have great news for you.

The F‑Secure VPN service redirects your internet traffic to a remote server and hides your IP address. The hidden IP address works as a secure and encrypted tunnel for your internet connection and blocks online criminals from spying on you. The encrypted IP address makes your actual IP address look like you are browsing from another location to eliminate spyware and tracking, whether by online criminals, advertisers or your internet service provider.

After establishing a secure VPN connection, you can also access geographically restricted content that would otherwise be limited in your current location. This is how VPN services, such as F‑Secure VPN, help expand available content and in some countries bypass internet censorship.

Connecting to the F‑Secure VPN server is a simple process and protects you with a secure connection. F‑Secure VPN works effortlessly both as a desktop application and a mobile app. You can easily activate the VPN and change your location with the app. All you need to do to get connected with the VPN is to open the app and turn on F‑Secure VPN. Just a single click and your browsing is protected almost immediately.

You can also choose to activate the VPN automatically as you start up your device and protect your internet traffic right away. Once you are connected to the F‑Secure VPN server, your IP address changes immediately and the VPN protects your browsing. The default location used by the VPN is the one that gives you the best connection. However, you can change your location from the main view any time. Advanced users may also change the VPN protocol from the settings.

When connected to F‑Secure VPN, it looks like you are using the internet from another location. This is because F‑Secure VPN uses multiple VPN servers across the globe. When the VPN service is activated, your internet traffic will be routed through one of the remote servers.

Now your internet connection is encrypted and your location is hidden from third parties. The VPN changes your real IP address to the physical location of the VPN server instead of your real location. This means that when you are browsing using a VPN, your network traffic is based on the location of the VPN server and you can get access to geo-restricted content, among other benefits.

In addition to a VPN service based on a monthly or annual subscription, there are alternative virtual private networks that claim to be free. However, if you are not paying for the VPN service with money, you are giving something else in return. That is your privacy and sensitive information, such as your browsing history, IP address and details about your online behavior.

At worst, your information can be used to track you in real life. Free VPN service providers also sell their users’ information to advertisers. A free VPN is also likely to provide poor connection speeds and lacks additional security features that premium VPN services offer.

Instead of downloading a free VPN and compromising your online privacy, try F‑Secure VPN for free for safe and private internet access.
