  1. Even with the option to warn when using unsecure connection, - notice only happens once in a while.
  2. The icon for SecureLine only shows occasionally. You need to check the actual tool to make sure its actually working. :cry:
  3. no warning when SecureLine stops working which leaves you unprotected.
    Itā€™s worse when you expect protection and then find out that protection isnā€™t working.
    Need some fixing please. :slight_smile:

I experienced the same issues when first using Secureline and posted with no answers, so I started monitoring the way in which my Computer was connecting to Networks, Secured or Unsecured.
If the connection setting is to connect ā€œautomaticallyā€ then there seemed to be inconsistent response from Secureline in Icon appearing and warning.
HOWEVER, if the connection setting is not set on automatic and you preview available networks and ā€œmanuallyā€ connect to the one you want then I found Secureling responded properly everytime.
Not sure why only it worked for me :slight_smile:

Edit: You probably may be aware of this, but I should mention Bob, in my use, Secureline often does not appear until a Browser is opened and the ā€œTerms and Agreementā€ is accepted presented by Public Network( Unsecured) For example Second Cup or Tim Hortons etc.
Once I click on Accept then Secureline Icon appears with the Unsecured Network pop up to connect> Yes or No

The direct connect was not selected in my settings.
Will see on my next trip if that changes things.
Thanks. :slight_smile:

Youā€™re welcome Bob. Hope it helps
This Secureline at times Iā€™ve found can be finicky. As far as dropping connection as I know youā€™re aware, vpnā€™s are notorious for dropping occasionally, The icon should animate when a connection has droppedā€¦if you notice it.
Having said all that, Secureline could use some refining. :slight_smile:
