What it is

McAfee Secure VPN encrypts internet traffic to help protect personal and payment data during browsing, banking, and shopping. McAfee says it uses AES 256-bit encryption and does not log or track online activity; it also says its VPN technology is independently audited. The service advertises almost 50 server locations and can connect automatically on an unsecured network, or remain on continuously. It is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, with one simultaneous device listed for the VPN. Secure VPN is included in McAfee Basic, Essential, and Advanced plans alongside antivirus, web protection, and identity features. The VPN page offers a 30-day McAfee Total Protection trial with 500 MB of VPN data per month, and advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee for plans. McAfee advertises 24/7 customer support and troubleshooting. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled, and introductory first-term prices may differ from renewal prices. No plan price is listed.
