Since few days Bitdefender vpn shows the virtual location's name right after establishing the vpn connection, but once i click on the cross icon of th window it stops showing the name of the connected virtual location. plz ve a look :

Ok, this is definitely a bug and I have forwarded your findings to our VPN teams for investigation. The location must remain visible even after closing/opening the window, so they'll fix that asap.

Thank you for reporting this. 👍️

@Rock.87 your VPN appears to be up to date in this case. There are no privacy risks there, the difference between the (a) version which is still in use and the (b) version is that the latest is related to a migration to a new VPN infrastructure for better performance, which is currently underway and will be done automatically. This migration is rolled out gradually and in the meantime, the (a) version still receives the necessary updates until its complete replacement.
So, you will get the (b) version at some point, however, this cannot be applied manually on the spot and there is no specific link where it can be downloaded.

v27.1.5.84 is the latest VPN build available, as announced here:

@Rock.87 It appears this was fixed in the latest VPN update v. 27.1.5.84.
Kindly check once you get this version.

Thanks

@Alexandru_BD Thank you for the update. As I understand, the VPN should be updated alongside Bitdefender Antivirus. I have the latest updates, but the VPN version seems outdated. Is that correct?

Also, does "A" indicate Asia? If not, what does it stand for?
why did not it became updated ?

& yes the prb is still there :

I would recommend to reinstall the VPN app since you are also on the (a) version, this will most likely switch to the (b) version which is the most recent one. Check again afterwards. The VPN may not be updated alongside the antivirus at all times, because updates between the two can also be rolled out separately.

ok, but in this scenario i ld recommend adding an update option just like bitdefender anti virus in the vpn as well , users should not stick on the previous versions like me as it can lead to security & privacy risks bro.
