VeePN

Posted: December 13, 2019

VeePN is the name of a deceptive VPN service that can be installed as a browser extension for Google Chrome. Users who install the VeePN application and expect to protect their online privacy may soon find out that the free services offered by VeePN are not the best in terms of quality – users report that there is a very limited number of VPN servers available, and the connection is very, very unstable. Furthermore, users who have VeePN's services enabled may end up encountering an increased number of advertisements during their Web browsing sessions.

VeePN's name is associated with misleading advertising practices, which promise users unrealistic things. Security products have labeled VeePN as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) – a harmless software whose services may often cause undesired side effects.

VeePN has an official website and download page, as well as a Chrome Store page that offers users to install the browser add-on. These two download locations may be promoted via various online advertisements that users might encounter while browsing various Web destinations – although installing VeePN is not a big issue, you should not forget that it might not provide you with satisfying service.

In general, the removal of PUPs is not mandatory, but it is the recommended course of action if you wish to avoid the potential annoyances that software like VeePN may cause.
