Is SafePay compatible with other VPNs?
I have NordVPN running. When I open SafePay, the connection icon only shows the WiFi network I am connected to and stops indicating the VPN. I saw a discussion from over a year ago that SafePay can sometimes disconnect non-Bitdefender VPNs, so I am nervous that my secure connection is being interrupted. Connecting the free…

Bitdefender VPN for Linux (Ubuntu 24.04 support)
2025, and still no support for one of the biggest open source OS. Total security member for a few years with bitdefender and now that i am also a Ubuntu user, i guess time to switch services? Is this even in pipeline to support Linux flavors? At least VPN should be an easy support.

Additional auto-connect features for VPN
I find the auto-connect feature on the VPN to be quite disappointing. There's only the option for auto-connecting when you connect to a public or unsecured Wi-Fi network. I miss the auto-connect features that were available on NordVPN, such as: 1.) Automatically connecting to a VPN upon connecting to ANY Wi-Fi network 2.)…

Split tunneling apps for macOS and iOS on VPN
I like that there's an option for split tunneling for websites on Apple devices, but I'm disappointed that there's no way to do it for applications like you can on Windows or Android. Some apps act goofy on a VPN and it's pretty tedious to go back into the app, turn off the VPN, do what I need to do on the app, and still…

Advanced Threat Defense disabled in Central (Issue to fix) for my device but enable on my device
Problem : Advanced Threat Defense disabled in Central for my device (Issue to fix). But in "Protection" in BitDefender Total Security on my device, I click "Open" in Advanced Threat Defense, and the software tells me : "Your device is threat free, there is no attack on your device in the previous 90 days".

Future Feature: Split-Tunneling Config File?
It does not seem possible to save locally, or on the cloud, a split-tunneling configuration/list file. This would imply the ability to also import said file into Bitdefender. This would save having to manually enter repeatedly apps and websites for each device. Is this a reasonable ask?

VPN Emptied Hosts File
On 2 March, Bitdefender VPN removed about 30-40 lines of entries in my Windows 11 Hosts file. I've run VPN for six months and not previously seen this issue.

Previewing routing policy before VPN server selection
Good day, Some VPN MSPs such as NordVPN have a downloadable OVPN configuration which contains connection details about each particular server. This is useful because, before connecting to a location that is potentially not a good route from my current ISP, I can dismiss them by studying the configuration. In Bitdefender…

I've been using Brave for many reasons Right now VPN is set to Miami Florida But when I logged into X - it said I was in the UK, and setting up an account on this forum thought the same thing, UK. Seems like Brave has it's own VPN that overrides Bitdefender? Anyway to make them play nicely together?

Why can't I add IP Addresses to VPN Split-Tunneling settings?
Even with "Allow access to devices on local networks" enabled in General settings, I can't connect to either my printer or my AVR. Only after disabling the VPN do I gain access again.
