We believe, however, that they have a long way to go before they can compete with the best in the field. The fact that mobile apps work well for simple tasks may explain why users give them such high ratings. The mobile app can block local network traffic, by doing this, your phone becomes invisible to other Wi-Fi-connected devices, this might deter some attackers who are waiting in public hotspots. Bitdefender’s iOS VPN app looks and feels very similar to its desktop counterpart, so it's just as simple to use, but suffers from the same flaws: a basic location list, no cities, limited server information, and no favorites system to help reduce scrolling.Īlthough essentially identical to the iOS version, the Android version includes additional features that are unique to it. We were surprised to find a kill switch here - historically iOS apps have lacked the most features due to strict Apple policies that make make adding features a challenge. It leaves you with a stripped-down version, but it still has the kill switch and it is still usable. The UI of the macOS version remains the same, but features have been drastically reduced, and split tunneling and the most advanced auto-connect options are no longer available. The UI is recognizable with its sizable blue Connect button, the name of the location you are currently selecting, and, if you click it, a list of more locations to choose from.There is a search box, but no cities are provided (just countries), and there are no server load figures or ping times to help you in choosing. Desktop notifications also let you know when you're protected and when you're not. Although the location list lacks favorites or previously used servers for easier reconnection, it allows switching locations without disconnecting the current connection. The Windows interface for Bitdefender Premium VPN is clear and easy to use with useful settings such as the kill switch, which blocks internet traffic if the VPN connection drops. But there are programs for Windows and Mac, with mobile VPN apps for Android and iOS. Its VPN is the same - there is no Linux application.
If you've ever used Bitdefender antivirus software, you're probably already aware of Linux's absence from it.
