Microsoft Defender: Security

With Microsoft security, such peace of mind

Recently the VPN component of MS Defender app was a causing issues where I can no longer connect to the internet with the app loaded and running. Everything is fine after I uninstalled the app.

Good idea. But I'd like being able to use my own DNS on top as it doesn't work with my filters. Had to uninstall it.

For the second time in a week, my WiFi has refused to connect when trying to connect to the VPN. The app won’t launch and I have to reinstall the app in order to get it to connect.

It’s really not clear how to handle a data breach they’ve found. If you use the VPN be warned you could look suspicious when banking and buying at the other end of the connection and get flagged/ kind of opposite what having Dender is supposed to do. For you it supposed to warn you that someone is suspicious but not make you suspicious.

I can’t connect to WiFi

I’m very impressed with Microsoft Defender’s broad spectrum of privacy and security tools. The integrated VPN feature is especially appreciated in that it replaces the need to pay for a standalone VPN solution. How Defender compares to to other VPNs is beyond the scope of this review. One star removed because, although Defender VPN will automatically activate if it was turned off when connecting to a public WiFi, there’s no setting to automatically turn it off when on a trusted network like work or home. And it WILL interfere if On when you try using some apps such as banking apps at home or work.

Great app with the exception of the VPN. I cannot turn it on and expect to have any kind of decent network speed. It drops the bandwidth by 90%, and I am not exaggerating.

Amazing work with this app appreciated the warning and the info back on how to counter the problem and or places to visit for help! Great work.

When I turn on von Microsoft takes over my connection and drops my internet speed from 300mps to 50-70mps plus destroys battery levels
