We've been running the VPN software on our Android phones and three computers for a few weeks now. On one laptop computer, we simply uninstalled it. It caused too many directly attributable connection problems, whether because it was incompatible with the computer, our wifi, or our Internet provider is unknown . It's working okay on another laptop. That one laptop gives me hope.
On my desktop it is simply causing more and more problems that are clearly latency-related. Latency within the computer and network latency. I've proved it to myself by running identical software with and without the VPN, and trying the same connections within the same short time frames with and without the VPN running.
On the cell phones the VPN seems to run in the background with no observed latency issues, though it does interfere with things like Google microphone, and frankly a number of other apps,
The bottom line is that I don't think Webroot's WiFi Security is quite ready for Primetime. I've spent the money now, but I would not recommend this product to a friend. The concept is so good, however, and I wish them the best for it.
