Comments on Safe Connect VPN: Secure Wi-Fi for Android

★★★★★ Roxanne Beechick · Jan 5, 2026
Been with McAfee for many years, that's what I use. I am tired of signing in when I never signed out though. Worked much better like it should on my previous carrier. Their looking really good right now. Didn't have to anything it just worked and stayed working no matter what setting I used! Tired of the problems on this Verison Samsung phone!!!! Amazing say stops working yet once reinstalled works just fine changes are coming tired of this on this phone!
★★★★☆ Jacob Fundi · Oct 24, 2025
Typically it works flawlessly. Last night it just started having an issue where it says it's connected but isn't, and I have to delete and reinstalled the app for it to work again. Hopefully they get the bug fixed soon, and I'll change to 5*. Thanks
★★★★★ A Google user · Oct 20, 2025
Protection from McAfee is good. It is the only one I use. There are so many scams out there that it's good to have McAfee protection.
★☆☆☆☆ Lisa Lachapelle Music · Mar 6, 2025
Play Store keeps directing to a notification that McAfee website is down. Customer Service on my other device had me download VPN on this one - that also doesn't connect to the website. So, I have a paid subscription that keeps directing to this Play store from McAfee website that directs me to a page that says the website is not working. Nor does the scanner code work. This is customer service??
★★☆☆☆ Gunnar Bodo Wiemann · Nov 24, 2025
Sets a 250 mb limit per month, although I have a McAfee+ Premium package. The product description on the McAfee website says "unlimited VPN". Please help me to understand this.
★☆☆☆☆ Reece LaValliere · Jan 29, 2026
I want to cancel my subscription to you, but you don't show up in my subscriptions' folder on the Google Play Store. I can't figure out how to cancel my subscription.

Description by McAfee LLC Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
If you’re interested in using a reliable, safe and completely free VPN that will keep all of your online activity secure, then McAfee has the service that will completely and conveniently guard your online privacy.

FREE VPN

We’re confident that our free VPN will provide a high level of online protection from digital threats, unsecure networks, and random hack attacks, and with Safe Connect your devices are effectively protected even when using public Wi-Fi hotspots. Using Safe Connect’s VPN, all of your online activity transmitted through the secure VPN connection - including sites visited, personally identifiable information and all other sensitive information - is both fully protected and completely private.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

✔ Wi-Fi Security

• Activate a secure and safe VPN connection for all of your devices at home, or whenever and wherever you’re using public Wi-Fi hotspots

• Our upgraded 256-bit bank-grade encryption enables you to protect all of your online activities, browsing activities, and all other sensitive information securely from cybercriminals

✔ Online Privacy

• Search online with comprehensive security while keeping your personal data private, and all of your most sensitive information safe from lurking threats

• Mask your IP from cybercriminals with our hotspot VPN, ensuring your online activities remain both private and secure no matter where you are, or where you go.

✔ Unblock All Geo-Restricted Content

• Unblock sites and enable an even wider range of online content without unnecessary geo-restrictions blocking your access

• Visit, browse and use all of your favorite social media, entertainment and shopping websites with confidence while traveling

✔ No Ads

• Enjoy an ad-free app environment

PREMIUM VPN SUBSCRIPTION

Please continue using our app for free for as long as you like, or simply upgrade to the Premium VPN Subscription at your convenience. Your Premium Service will include:

• Unlimited usage cap (no more monthly 250 MB limit)

• Protection for up to 5 devices

• 24/7/365 Customer Support


In addition, you’ll also enjoy:

• A 7-day free trial: Free of charge with no commitment, which you can conveniently cancel at anytime

• Your subscription automatically renews unless you choose to turn off auto-renew anywhere up to 24 hours before the end of the current period

• Your choice of either monthly of annual subscription length

• Subscription price: Monthly $7.99 or Annually $47.99

• Subscriptions may be conveniently managed, and auto-renewal may be turned off anytime up to 24 hours prior to current period end by simply going to Account Settings following your purchase

WHEN TO USE?

We suggest you keep Safe Connect’s free VPN service with Wi-Fi protection turned ON whenever you’re online to minimize your online security risks and keep your sensitive data safe from prying eyes and sticky fingers. Unlike your home Wi-Fi, the vast majority of public Wi-Fi hotspots aren’t password-protected and do NOT encrypt any data being transmitted, leaving all of your information vulnerable to corruption. As a direct consequence, whenever you connect to a public hotspot without VPN service, all of your online activities - from social media content to bank account information - may become vulnerable to hackers and other cyberthreats. With McAfee Safe Connect VPN, your online privacy and your Wi-Fi security are protected.

QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK?

McAfee has been proud to offer our industry leading experience, our proven track record, and our long-term commitment to providing security confidence to all of our digital age consumers in an ever-expansive online world. If you have any questions or want to share feedback, please reach us at mmsfeedback@mcafee.com

We look forward to hearing from you.
