using bitdefender mobile security with IPhone 11

Was having a problem using my data to connect to my search browser. The Green load bar would load 1/4 inch then stop loading. I could not connect to SXM. I called Bite defender and was told that this is a known problem they are working on at this time. I took the Bitdefender Mobile security app. off my IPhone and it worked fine loading my search browser and connecting to SXM. I hope this helps others with this problem.

No, not a scam if you're using the VPN for its true use at keeping others from intercepting clear data communication between yourself and your business. In such a case, you're running your own VPN at your business so only your employees can send and receive visible data between the business server at their location from the outside (such as working from home).


A VPN has no other useful purpose, other than hiding what user's IP address the data is going back to from elsewhere on the web. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you're not doing anything illegal. Though in other countries with much more totalitarian governments, people use VPNs located outside of their country to try and keep the government from tracking their communications back to their location.

It's not an opinion. It's fact.

A VPN can do absolutely nothing to hide any data going between you and the site you're viewing since only half of the communication is encrypted. Anything going to the site from the VPN and back to it is in the clear, or the site would have no idea what to do with the encrypted data.


A VPN has only two uses:


  1. You're using it to send and receive content from a truly tunneled VPN at your place of employment. Only the servers at the office get the unencrypted data from you as output from the VPN. Anything coming back to you is encrypted. Meaning, anyone trying to capture data between you and the office will only ever see encrypted data. A hacker would have to somehow breach the business' server on the clear input/output side to get anything.
  2. You're trying to hide yourself. Since a VPN encrypts what's coming back to you, it does a good job at hiding what IP address the data is going back to. However, any and all VPN's log this data. If you do anything illegal and law enforcement tracks the clear data back to the VPN (and they can), they'll demand log data to see what IP address the data was output to. The site running the VPN will give you up. They aren't going to go to jail for what you do.

Okay, Thank you for the information,it was very helpful. I did not realize until I read the articles and links..no more VPN for me..they are just sucking down money in subscriptions.So all the company's selling VPN are just scams according to the articles you provided..keeping business info secure has always been my goal. Thank you.
