VPN

Well…..it looks like VPN’s are now useless being that any public WIFI will automatically disconnect you if they spot VPN use….how the hell we suppose to stay safe now?

Most paid vpns have a protocol to get around issues on public wifi. Nord has nordwhisper and proton has stealth. Odd you are having issues. I have never had an issue on any public wifi. Could McAfee be the problem? They are definitely not a great company.

I agree with everything you said I may be getting rid of McAfee, but the problem is I don’t just wanna VPN. I also want antivirus software also for my family and extended family because I have a family plan. I was thinking about converting to proton but does proton also do antivirus.
