Massimiliano Posted December 11, 2019 ID:1350150 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Would anyone, kindly, tell me if the 1.1.1.1 app (free version) is safe or not to trust, since it installs a VPN profile without being a real VPN? However I would use it in conjunction with Malwarebytes WEB / Adblocker protection (for now in beta because I am in Italy). I thank all those who will help me.

alvarnell Posted December 12, 2019 ID:1350229 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I’ve been using the 1.1.1.1 app on and off since it was first released several months ago and have used their DNS services even longer. It needs to install the VPN profile for much the same reason as Malwarebytes in order to obtain access to Internet traffic flow that is not otherwise allowed by Apple on iOS. I did experience issues with it early on when it would completely shut off my Internet access, but that seems to finally been fixed, as I haven’t experienced that in two or three months now. Haven’t seen any conflict between it and Malwarebytes on my iPhone, I assume because they don’t have overlapping functions. Can’t speak with any assurance on safety as I don’t have the tools necessary to completely test (and Apple makes it almost impossible to do so), but never read any suspicions from others.

Hardhead Posted January 14, 2020 ID:1355997 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Just an update for the 1.1.1.1 app. I reported an bug 2 days ago where there was looping connecting to the server. A new update came out about 23 hours ago to version 4.2.1. Sorry I forgot to add if you are having this issue go to More settings/ Connection options/ and select reset keys and select done Update by going to the Apple App Store.

alvarnell Posted January 15, 2020 ID:1356015 Share Posted January 15, 2020 1 hour ago, Hardhead said: I reported an bug 2 days ago where there was looping connecting to the server. That must explain the issues I was having (big reduction in speed) a day or two ago. Had to turn it off to get reasonable Internet performance. Current version has me back to normal.

Hardhead Posted January 15, 2020 ID:1356018 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Yes it was an issue for sure. I reported on the 13th was the first time I had issues. So yes all need to just go to the Apple Store and update the app and even if they didn’t have the issues like I did just follow the directions that I posted. Glad everything is working well for you as well now. 🙂 Edited January 15, 2020 by Hardhead Change wording Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
