    Hi all,

    So been a customer of Malwarebytes Premium for some time now. Now noticed they have introduced "Malwarebytes Premium Plus" which includes the VPN feature.

    Would you guys recommend paying out the extra cash for the VPN or whether not to bother with it?

    Thank you

    If you need a VPN, then yes. But perhaps wait until you have to renew and get a good deal.

    Agree with Percy, only if you want/need a VPN.

    If you are involved in illegal or immoral activities, then you might want a VPN.

    If you frequently travel outside the country, you might need a VPN as many sites "back home" you might want or need access to may block access from foreign IP addresses.

    If you believe Big Brother, Microsoft, or ET is tracking your every move, attempting to control your life, you definitely need a VPN! ;)

    If none of the above apply, and you make sure sites you visit connect via a secure link (https), then you most likely do not "need" to use a VPN.

    Regardless, if I felt I needed one, I would not pay for one. I would use one of many decent free VPNs out there.

    Does Malwarebytes use there own in house VPN or is it a relabeled VPN? I don't use MBAM's VPN.

    I see when MBAM service connects via Mullvad.net is shown...
