Openbare Wi-Fi-netwerken stellen gebruikers bloot aan risico's zoals man-in-the-middle-aanvallen, waarbij uit onderzoek blijkt dat tot 25% van de hotspots kwetsbaar is. F-Secure FREEDOME VPN, developed by Helsinki-based F-Secure Corporation, addresses this by encrypting connections and masking IP addresses. Het werd rond 2014 gelanceerd en onlangs omgedoopt tot F-Secure VPN en richt zich op gewone gebruikers die op zoek zijn naar eenvoudige online bescherming. Als Fins product profiteert het van strikte EU-dataregelgeving, waaronder de AVG, waardoor er geen verkeerslogboeken worden bijgehouden of verkocht. Met onbeperkte bandbreedte en apps voor grote platforms bedient het consumenten die op hun hoede zijn voor data-hongerige providers.
