About F-Secure VPN
F-Secure VPN is the standalone VPN app from the Finnish security company F-Secure, previously sold under the name FREEDOME. It encrypts your connection and hides your real IP address from the sites you visit and from your internet provider.
Automatic Wi-Fi Protection turns the VPN on when you join a public network. Protection Statistics show how much data it has covered. You can choose a virtual location in more than 20 countries. It suits people who want a simple one-click VPN from an established security vendor rather than a configurable tool.
