4/5Buggy
The vpn works great, but when I try to connect it buffers every time and I have to delete the app every time it happens.

1/5Ok the NETGEAR apps are easy
But problems with the interface and I have had multiple IoT devices that I configured while on the IoT network jumped onto the 6-5g network. I have had problems with my HomePods refusing to connect. You guys used to have a professional setup. I should be able to make my IoT network invisible along with the 5-6g. There’s tons of sleazy people in this world and they want to hack you through your IoT infrastructure. Not only that. You should be able to setup your WiFi ip range without going into the web. I hate to say this but guess what. I’m really disappointed that your interface is going backwards. I mean I had a NETGEAR router in early 2000 and it had more security settings than this app. Same with the decco interface. I thought I was getting a superior product for the price. Turns out it was a waste of money in the end. Thanks. If I was investing in your company I would demand that you Fire your executives. What a joke.

1/5False sense of security
I thought I was protecting myself, but this allowed my devices to be hacked. I don’t know if the app got hacked and then redirected my traffic to fake sites, which looked like the real ones. Every time I reconnected, I was connected to a different VPN provider. I started looking them up, and they were ALL listed as high risk. This is not the same as the Bitdefender VPN. I even increased my subscription. Now I have to find new antivirus software. VPN software. I don’t trust the Bitdefender name any longer. I have also thrown away my new NETGEAR Nighthawk router. Don’t waste your money on this or any Ndtgear or Bitdefender product. I don’t like having every system that I own compromised and hacked. I don’t like others viewing my cameras. I have purchased the Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro. It does protect my network. But it does not provide antivirus support. It will allow me to access my own system via VPN, but I’m not using it for general, mobile VPN solution.

5/5Super super great service
Despite of the bad reviews my experience with this service is exceptional. I can login from deferent geographic locations to watch Netflix, I can’t do that with other service like Norvpn. 5 starts for that. Now I have to figure how to add this to my router (NETGEAR)

1/5Ridiculous.. just Ridiculous
Can’t believe Netgear would put their name on such a worthless VPN app which is supposed to integrate with the Armor app. Trash! I used to use Armor on my Nighthawk and other routers. I’ve found TP-Link Decos using Trend Micro (lifetime one price sub) is awesome. You lost several customers just from sitting and watching the cybersecurity world pass you by. I’m an IT admin and no longer recommend these products.
