PFSense?

[Hornsj2]

Is this based on OpenVPN?  I am interested in possibly switching from my current provider, but I want to configure this at my router level, and not just have it as a desktop app.

Greetings,

I'm not certain which VPN service/provider Malwarebytes is currently using for Malwarebytes Privacy, however I do know that they previously had some sort of partnership with Mullvad VPN, though that was just for a bundled discount deal so I have no idea if that is the provider they are using for Malwarebytes Privacy or not and I must defer to a member of the staff for a definitive response.

Hello @Hornsj2

Malwarebytes Privacy is based on WireGuard and not OpenVPN.

Currently we have no way to configure MBPrivacy at the router level. Might be available sometime in the future.

Hope that helps.

[Hornsj2]

Thank you for the quick response. I will take a look at WireGuard and see if it's worth it to stop using my current provider.  I trust MB more than them, but It's really convenient to have my smart devices and phone on my vpn with no effort or installation.

Have a good one.

Thank you @Hornsj2

Do let us know if you have any more questions.

@Hornsj2 We plan to add support for Mac & Mobile later this year.

@gatortail

Thank you.  I was referring to the advantage of being able to configure my router.  While at home I don't need to have an application on any device.  Anything on my internal network will automatically be on the VPN.

Many VPN's have a free trail so potential users can check for issues such as slowing down of internet speeds.  Is there a free trail for MB Privacy, if not how come? Thanks.

[exile360]

Unfortunately it appears that they currently offer no free trial for Malwarebytes Privacy, but hopefully they will offer one in the future.

[gatortail]

We are evaluating a formal free trial, but Malwarebytes actually provides a better deal than most free trials on it's products:

60-Day Money Back Guarantee: if you aren’t fully satisfied with your Malwarebytes software you may request cancellation and refund within 60 days of this purchase and we’ll cancel your subscription and refund 100% of your purchase price.

True, but a lot of people are hesitant to shell out the bucks if they are not 100% confident that said product will work well on their computer, MB Privacy is not cheap.

[AdvancedSetup]

Yes, I'm with you @digmorcrusher I too would prefer a no strings attached trial, demo even if it was only good for a couple of days. I've downloaded and tried so many applications in my career and many of them I've gone on to buy either for personal use or for business use. Though I would say that it is getting more difficult to get a free no strings attached trail today than it was years ago for some reason. I will say though that on my system it is the fastest VPN I've ever used. Hopefully in the future there will be a free trial for users to test drive the product.

Thank you for your feedback @digmorcrusher and @AdvancedSetup

Fantastic speed for me on Wireguard and physical hardware

Hey, dear friends, now I am running one of top competitor VPNs paid by end of the year; I am eager to switch to your product, but please understand no one wants to throuw quite a buck for buying a cat in a sack... Please provide either trial or 1 month sunscription with a few days refund deadline...

[exile360]

Unfortunately they currently only offer 1 year subscriptions, not monthly, but perhaps they will consider it.

[digmorcrusher]

Hope so, especially now that the only price I can find for Canadians is a 5 device license for $129.99, well that ain't gonna happen especially when I would only need for 1 device.  This is for MB 4 and MB Privacy, can't find a standalone license for Privacy.

me too, from argentina, only price is 5 devices $ 5.958,37 ARS that is too expensive

 

[nikhils]

Thank you all for the feedback. We are planning to have the trial for the VPN product in a future release.

[Sanjuro]

Perfect, please take care to keep us, the attendants of this discussion, informed. We are enthusiastic future customers, after all! 😀

[nikhils]

Sure thing @Sanjuro

Usually we post the new feature going to every new release as a forum post. But will update this thread too in the future.

[nikhils]

Hello @digmorcrusher

We do have just the MBPrivacy available as a standalone product. Please check the following link: http://www.malwarebytes.com/vpn

Let us know if you have more questions.

Thank you.

Yes, I eventually found it, but it wasn't on the Privacy page, when you click on Buy Now there it just shows the combo price, you have to go to the MB page and click on pricing, here it shows the prices for both MB and MB Privacy.

I just visited the Malwarebytes Privacy page located here (which I accessed by selecting Malwarebytes Privacy from the For Home menu item at the top) and then clicked the orange BUY NOW button at the top of the page it scrolled down to a section showing pricing for both the combined/bundled version as well as the standalone.  I then reloaded the page and got the same result you reported with the BUY NOW button taking me directly to the purchase page with the only item showing up in the cart being the combo/bundle for 5 devices for 1 or 2 years.  It looks like they are testing different layouts on the website.
