Netgear armor removes web protection feature for Android in latest release
I have an Orbi RBRE mesh system with Netgear armor running on it. Previously i was using native Bitdefender with a Bitdefender box but the Orbi gives me higher throughput. The subscription included ...
I already have a good VPN solution in place which is rated much better than the Bitdefender / armor VPN and i have no need to use a VPN when i am on my home network - it just slows things down.
I do agree with you that Netgear is effectively forcing me to upgrade to their (not-leading) VPN solution at extra cost for protection that i have already purchased. But that's not really a good solution for me:
on the plus side - the higher VPN solution from Netgear would give me the same web protection that I previously had with my subscription (not really a plus)
on the negative side - i would have to use a worse VPN service and pay more money
If you have a working VPN solution then go with that. Use what works for you.
