For almost a month I have been struggling to find out why I could not use my OnGuard VPN connection with UCLA. I had long calls with IT personnel, who could not fix the problem. At the same time, Thunderbird, which I used to access my Bruin Online email, stopped working. Finally, I tried deactivating Webroot. Lo and behold, both OnGuard VPN and Thunderbird worked again!
To put it mildly, I am not very happy with Webroot right now. Any explanation?

Hello
We Beta Testers are testing a version that has a fix for the VPN issues but we haven’t been told when it will be released to all.
I have no issue before with IVPN so I can’t test other VPN’s on my system with the Beta.
But with the other issues like with Thunderbird it’s best to contact Webroot support directly!

HTH,

HTH,
I wasted a whole day trying to fix this issue, before discovering it was Webroot’s fault. I am not wasting any more of my time doing the work that Webroot should have done before releasing this buggy update. When both VPN to a major university and Thunderbird email are affected, this is not a minor issue.
Instead of testing a beta version, Webroot should immediately alert its customers of this mayor problem and offer a way to go back to the previous, not-buggy version. I do not think that Webroot would do that. It has completely lost my trust.
I think this calls for non-sotfware solutions:
