About this app

Privacy matters. In a world where online privacy is constantly invaded, a secure VPN is like having your own personal, private Internet connection. Whenever you go online, hackers and eavesdroppers may try to steal your data. With a single click, our next-gen VPN for Android helps protect your online privacy by masking your IP address and online activity - without collecting any of your browsing or online activity data itself.

Malwarebytes Privacy is a next-gen VPN that uses the latest, fastest, and most secure VPN technology. Utilizing the widely acclaimed WireGuard® protocol, experience less lag and enjoy faster downloads, uploads, and browsing while remaining private and secure. Modern encryption protects you with not only 256-bit encryption but also using an advanced algorithm that goes beyond AES standards, so you can have peace of mind whenever you go online.

• True Privacy
Keep your true identity, IP address, and location private so you can browse anonymously.

• WiFi Security
While WiFi is convenient, it’s not always safe. Sending data over the Internet when using unsecured WiFi can expose your most sensitive information like your IP address, passwords, and more. Always turn on VPN when connecting to WiFi that is not your own.

• Groundbreaking Speed
Utilizes a next-gen WireGuard® VPN protocol that is faster and more efficient than OpenVPN® and other traditional VPNs.

• No logging
We respect your privacy and never log or track any of your online activities, whether it’s browsing or accessing websites.

• Easy-to-use
One-click, intuitive UI to manage your privacy online, at home, or on the go.

• Online freedom
Your online experience changes based on your location. Malwarebytes Privacy gives you hundreds of servers in 32 countries, so you have the ability to appear as if you’re connecting to the Internet from around the world.

• Unlimited VPN Free Trial
Try Malwarebytes Privacy on up to 5 devices completely FREE for 7 days. All the premium features of the paid version, with unlimited bandwidth and no server restrictions!

Devices we work on:
Devices running Android version 7 or higher with an active Internet connection.

What is a VPN and why do I need it?
A VPN, or virtual private network, is a secure connection between people and devices over the Internet. A VPN makes going online safer and more private by stopping people from seeing who you are, where you are, or what you’re looking at. Learn more about VPNs.

Does VPN work on WiFi and ethernet?
Yes. An Internet VPN, such as Malwarebytes Privacy, offers a tunnel between you and the Internet, allowing you to browse the web securely and privately, no matter whether you’re using a public WiFi network at a cafe or plugged in to the ethernet at a hotel.

Much like other negative reviews, this VPN is a continuous challenge. The hit and miss of connecting to a location, receiving NULL IP, and having to terminate it and restart it, is a daily occurrence. I'm very disappointed in this product and service, especially as I recommended it to so many people in the past. I've lost credibility with those clients, for good.

For a paid service that comes with a subscription, the amount of time it's down or non-functional is simply unacceptable. If I ever have slowdown on my internet, I *Immediately* suspect it of being the cause - 9 times out of 10, it is. About half the time, I can change servers and the problem is fixed. The other half, it just doesn't work, and says "Null" for the IP address. This lasts for hours. Recently, sites have known my location despite the VPN. I don't know if this is the VPN or what.

It's great to see Malwarebytes Privacy now available on Android. The UI is easy to use and has a similar feel to the app for PC. If you already have a subscription to Malwarebytes Privacy and still have some devices left to use it's a simple process to set up. Currently if you want the Vpn always on, you'll want to tweak your Network & Internet settings in your phone (rather than from the app) once enabled. It's early days, but personally liking the app so far and to date had no issues.
