If you regularly connect your device to a specific Wi-Fi network, you can preconfigure VPN settings for that network.

To configure VPN for selected Wi-Fi networks:

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. In the main application window, click the Menu button.
  3. Select SettingsSmart Protection.
  4. Switch the toggle to On. You will then be asked to accept the Smart Protection Statement.
  5. Read the statement and, if you accept the terms of data processing for Smart Protection functionality, click Accept.

    If you do not accept the terms of the statement, click Decline. In this case, the Smart Protection feature configuration will be unavailable.

  6. Click the Settings button.

    This opens the Smart Protection window.

  7. Click the Known Wi-Fi networks button.

    This opens the Manage Wi-Fi networks window. Wi-Fi-networks to which you connected earlier are displayed in this window. If you have not connected to Wi-Fi networks, this list is empty.

  8. Select the Wi-Fi network for which you want to configure VPN settings.
  9. Click the Edit button.

    This opens the Wi-Fi network settings window.

  10. In the Action on connection to Wi-Fi network "$NetworkName" section, select an action for this network:
    • Not specified. When you connect a device to a Wi-Fi network, the application uses the general rules for Wi-Fi networks.
    • Enable VPN. When you connect a device to a Wi-Fi network, the application establishes a secure connection.
    • Ignore. When you connect a device to a Wi-Fi network, the application does not establish a secure connection.
  11. Click the Save button.

Once Smart Protection is disabled, the transfer and processing of data required for this functionality will be stopped.
