Malwarebytes Privacy VPN keeps your personal information private by encrypting your traffic as you browse the internet. Using a VPN helps prevent threats from figuring out who you are, where you are, and what you’re browsing.
Cybersecurity should be accessible for everyone, so Malwarebytes also has a limited version of our Privacy VPN that those with Standard subscriptions can use. This limited version of the VPN has all the same features as the VPN included in our Plus or Ultimate subscriptions, but with a few requirements. The requirements are:
- You must have a Standard subscription on Android.
- You must be on version 5.28 or higher of the Malwarebytes Mobile Security app. Check your app for updates to make sure you're on the latest version.
- You must have a Malwarebytes account and be signed in to use the free VPN.
- The limited VPN will significantly reduce its speed once you reach 10 GB of data usage. For unlimited data usage without reduced speed, you'll need to upgrade your subscription.
- The limited VPN has fewer servers available. For access to Malwarebytes' full list of servers, you'll need to upgrade your subscription.
NOTICE - Coming soon to Windows, Mac, and iOS!
Sign in to use VPN for Standard subscriptions
To get started using Malwarebytes' limited Privacy VPN with your Standard subscription, you will need a Malwarebytes account. If you do not have an account, see Create your Malwarebytes account.
If you already have an account:
- Open the Malwarebytes app on your Android device.
- On the main dashboard, toggle the VPN on.
- Tap Continue with Email and sign in using your Malwarebytes account email and password.
- Malwarebytes limited Privacy VPN is now on and ready to use!
If you need more help turning on the VPN, see Turn on Malwarebytes VPN for iOS and Android.
Reduced speed when reaching data limits
With the limited version of Privacy VPN, you can track your remaining data before its speed slows. Data usage is tied to your account, not each individual device. The data limit resets 30 days after turning on the VPN. You can pause the VPN anytime to save data, and Malwarebytes will alert you when you're near the 10 GB limit.
