Die VPN-Verschlüsselung macht das surfen im Internet zu eine Geduldsprobe wie zu Win95-Zeiten. Die meisten Seiten öffnen erst nach der 2. Anforderung. Entweder stellt man VPN so ein, dass die Browser direkt, so wie vorher auch, ins Netz können oder man schaltet es AB. In der heutigen Zeit der Digitalisierung ein no go.

While this may prevent some virus attacks, it is over kill and also prevents you from getting to some sites that you may need or want. When a site is blocked, they should give you the option of continuing at your own risk. !!!! This would be my last choice for virus protection.
