How do I actually turn off URL/IP logging features?

Zumbler · 2025-05-29T15:51:34+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I would like Bitdefender to stop all parsing of URL/IP for privacy reasons. I turned off the entire "Web Attack Prevention" feature, but it still seems to not only be parsing the URLs, but sending them to centralized logging/alerting in bitdefender central.

For example, you can go to any known phishing site and it will not only show up locally as a notification, but will also show up with the full domain name in bitdefender central.

How do you fully turn off the parsing?

Currently, even with the "Web Attack Prevention" feature turned off, some URL and IP parsing may still occur to provide essential protection and logging functionality. Unfortunately, there isn’t a user-accessible option to fully disable all URL/IP parsing and centralized reporting within Bitdefender Central, as this data helps improve threat detection and analysis.

How do I turn off ad blocker?

Which ad blocker are you using? Is it the one that comes with the VPN, or are you actually referring to the Anti-tracker extension, or any other ad blocker unrelated to Bitdefender?
