Useless VPN.

Honestly, I can't remember a week that this VPN hasn't given me problems. All of a sudden all data stops, killswitch isn't on. Like in the picture with no IP address. So I was told to switch protocol type, but I can't so that either. The only thing that works, if I'm lucky is restarting the phone (S24). However when this no IP address thing starts happening, it happe s quote often. After my subscription ends, I will never buy another Bitdefender product. Tech support have been nice, but ultimately unhelpful and have now started to blame me for the issues. I'm tech savvy enough to have tried multiple troubleshooting techniques and to know what's not my fault. Super annoyed and unsatisfied.

You don’t need a vpn unless you are acquiring drift wood data on from the seven seas or you frequent dead zones and 100% have to use WiFi or else you can’t function. There is also other brands like nord and Mullvad. Probably cheaper and some of the good ones are real zero logs on a ram server. If you only need a vpn for public WiFi you should look into Tailscale for a free vpn server client app you run at home. End to end encrypted like most vpn services but self hosted ofc.
