Why does VPN connect even on local, trusted WiFi?
Why does BD VPN connect even on local, trusted WiFi? I don't want or need the VPN on my own network, yet every time I make any changes to the VPN settings, bam! The VPN connects and enables the VPN, even when I'm using a trusted network. I then have to go in to the VPN and turn it off, but I shouldn't have to, it should…

Confirmation the connection between VPN's sudden drop in speed to web disconnections and viruses
Hello Bitdefender lab Because a few days ago, I stumbled upon the Dell computer USB RECOVERY software either can't find the windows 11 system online, or find the ISO file is only 800MB, and then because of the accidental installation of the OUTBYTE driver updater and update 10 drivers found that the network is often…

Bitdefender AV Plus and Mullvad VPN Conflicting?
I was wondering if BD is aware of a conflict between the Bitdefender software and the Mullvad VPN service, particularly when Windows starts up and loads Bitdefender and I presume authenticates the user's BD account and subscription. If connected to Mullvad, upon Windows startup the BD service will fail on Windows 11…

Mocking Location
Hello, I'm new to Bitdefender VPN and wondering if there is an option to mock my location. I know I can change the location but this isn't the case. I mean even after changing the location, I still see some ads. I've enabled both ad blocker and anti tracker, but it seems that they are not real things! My previous…

P2P Filter / Performance
Over the past few weeks, P2P performance has dropped dramatically to just 1 Mbit across Europe, while general performance remains stable at around 300–400 Mbit. Considering that we previously enjoyed speeds of up to 10 Gbit, I would like to understand what is causing this issue. I am currently in the process of renewing my…

Why does the "Ads and Trackers blocked" indicator (VPN) stop updating.
I've been running the Ads and Trackers utility on the VPN for a few weeks now. It has always shown actively updating statistics. Then sometime yesterday, after a restart, it froze at 0. The system was shutdown overnight and has been running all day (VPN active; the connection time shows about 9 and a half hours). I've been…

Hi. I am humbly wishing to ask the Bitdefender community who maintains the VPN a question. Is there a planned date when China will be re-enabled or activated as a VPN location?

How do I configure BD VPN to not block Webex?
I'm using Webex through BD VPN on Win 11. Latest versions of all. I've added to split tunneling everything I can find related to Webex. Sometimes it works. Sometimes not. Usually, when starting Webex I'm unable to make VoIP calls right away but something works itself out and I'm able to use VoIP after a few minutes. This…

IPv6 Support
When will Bitdefender VPN support dual-stack tunnels? It's pretty disappointing to be in 2025 and not have IPv6 support built into your VPN product. You even have a blog article advocating support from 2023: Why You Need a VPN with IPv6 Support

Hi, I’m Namrata Hinduja from Geneva. I'm facing recurring VPN errors where my IP gets blocked by the target server. How can I troubleshoot this?

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus - Remove VPN Nag Pop-Up
Build 27.0.49.354 Bitdefender constantly has a pop up asking to turn on VPN. I dont want Bitdefender VPN. When I click on "Dont show again", it shows it again later on or when I turn on my other VPN. This is annoying and should never pop up again if I selected it to not show again.

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…

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.

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…

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…

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?

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.
