The Windows VPN app version 3.17.0 is no longer supported. To improve your experience, Malwarebytes now combines VPN features with our Security app, allowing you to manage both in one application.
To keep using your VPN subscription, please download our Desktop Security app. For instructions on how to purchase, install, and activate the new app, refer to our Desktop Security Quick Start Guide.
The Support Tool can gather troubleshooting logs for VPN on Windows devices. If you have an open ticket with Support, your agent may ask you to gather logs to help us solve the issue. The following steps explain how to upload logs to your support ticket using the Support Tool.
