BitDefender VPN Starts at Login When Run at Startup Unchecked

Options

Using Monterey 12.3.1. At login VPN starts even though "Run at Startup" is unchecked in the settings. Furthermore I am using another product for VPN I can uninstall just the VPN component?

    Hello @BK3121,

    There are two options here:

    1. Simply disable the option so that it will not run at boot - and the app still remains installed.

    Using this option, the VPN will not interfere with the functionality of the said MAC, nor will it consume the daily quota.

    1. Disable the option (using the steps) below and also delete the VPN shortcut.

    Disable steps: - Open Bitdefender VPN - Press on the gear icon from the upper right corner - Select Settings - Turn off " Startup and Notifications" options.

    If, at any point, you would like to start using the VPN again, you can re-activate the shortcut from the following location: Libary/Bitdefender/Central/Modules/com.bitdefender.vpn/Bitdefender VPN

    I hope the information is helpful.

    Best regards.

    Thank you for response

  • I did this before seeking help and I'm still getting notifications and it has never stopped loading on startup. I don't want or need your VPN. If I can't disable it I may have to look for another antivirus solution.
