McAfee Safe Connect VPN uses bank-grade AES 256-bit encryption to keep your browsing information and online habits protected at home and on-the-go. While convenient, connecting to public Wi-Fi can expose your sensitive data such as your physical location, banking account credentials and credit card information to prying eyes.

Much like a firewall protects the data on your computer, a VPN protects your activity by encrypting (or scrambling) your data when you connect to the internet from a remote or public location so you can hide IP address and online activity.
