About F-Secure VPN
F-Secure VPN is the descendant of Freedome VPN, which F-Secure launched in 2013 and has since folded into the broader F-Secure Total security suite. F-Secure is a long-established Finnish security company, which places this service in Finland (FI) — a jurisdiction we classify as Tier 2. Finland sits inside the wider European legal-cooperation orbit, so buyers should weigh that rather than treat any EU base as automatically "privacy-friendly."
On the documents, this is the part to read carefully: F-Secure VPN is not a strict no-logs service. Published policy indicates connection metadata is retained for roughly 90 days. There is no published, named-auditor no-logs audit, so the logging posture is confirmed by the provider's own documentation rather than independent verification. One data point cuts in the provider's favour: in 2020 a German court ordered seized Freedome logs destroyed, reported by TorrentFreak — a real court record, though it speaks to a specific case rather than a blanket guarantee.
Feature-wise, a kill switch is present and a 30-day money-back window is documented. P2P is restricted to designated locations only, and there is no app-level split tunneling — both relevant limits for torrenting and selective-routing users. Independent audit: none documented, so treat that dimension as unverified.
Pricing, taken directly from F-Secure's verified plans, is intro-rate driven and renewal rates are undisclosed. Single-device options run $4.17/mo intro (billed $49.99, 1-year) and $3.75/mo intro (billed $89.99, 2-year). Multi-device tiers: 3 devices at $5.42/mo (billed $64.99, 1-year) or $4.79/mo (billed $114.99, 2-year); 5 devices at $5.83/mo (billed $69.99, 1-year) or $5.21/mo (billed $124.99, 2-year). Every plan renews at an undisclosed rate — budget accordingly.
Who it fits: existing F-Secure Total subscribers who want a bundled VPN and value a reputable security-vendor name over strict anonymity. Who should skip it: anyone needing a verified no-logs, independently audited service, split tunneling, or unrestricted P2P. Our Scout Score is 64 (privacy 64); we do not run a speed lab, so for how the score is built see our methodology.
