A VPN, a software package that will prevent you from going to a know malware and never click on a link that you are 110% positive it’s legit.

do not get aura, wont let you cancel your subscription and keeps taking money out of my account

DO NOT RECOMMEND AURA SUITE SERVICES. The company has no integrity and does not provide refunds even with a request less than 24-hours request from the charge. They did not allow me the option to only have one service and said it was a package deal for identity theft, password manager, and VPN.

  1. password manager is dysfunctional and frequently creates second log-ins rather than updating. Or I would have passwords saved with a password but not the username. The password generator is good, allowing you to choose length or special characters to use or not use. This feature is pointless if passwords are not saved correctly.
  2. the password manager extension in Chrome was buggy. I would get stuck in loops of trying to log-in but never gaining access. I wasted too much time and stopped using the feature.
  3. VPN blocks access to websites. With Nord VPN, with the option to change VPN location, I often can access any website with ease. After explaining my reason for requesting a refund and that their records would show that I stopped using their services, I still was not offered a partial refund!!!

A VPN will not necessarily prevent you from going to a know malware site. That’s not its job.
