Known limitations

• Some websites might block access when using a VPN for the following reasons:
  • The website owners only want people from particular countries viewing their licensing content, as offers and charges may differ between countries.
  • The website owners only want the site to be accessed from a particular country. For example, lotteries are only played in one country, so access from other countries is blocked.

Known limitations

• When Kaspersky Internet Security (or Kaspersky Total Security) and Kaspersky Secure Connection are running on the computer simultaneously, Wi-Fi network protection in Kaspersky Internet Security (or Kaspersky Total Security) does not work.
• The volume of used secure traffic displayed in the application may differ from the amount of secure traffic actually used. This may be the case when you use a high-bandwidth connection.

• After purchasing a subscription, there may be a delay of several minutes before the application switches to the extended version.
• If your computer changes the network when connecting to the Internet, the secure connection may be briefly interrupted. Any data transmitted will not be protected until the secure connection has been reestablished.
• Changing the virtual server country when visiting the websites of banks or payment systems, booking websites, social networks, chats, and email websites could possibly trigger anti-fraud systems (systems intended for analyzing online financial transactions for signs of fraudulent operations).
