    I have had Trend Micro for 3 years but I don’t enable VPN because when I leave home I use personal hotspot on my iPhone to connect to my laptop or tablet. I never use the free wifi at a restaurant, motel or shopping centre. I have had some issues leaving VPN turned on all the time. Is this a sensible idea?

      I use Private Internet Access (PIA VPN) so I can’t comment on Trend’s other than it seems OK. If you use a phone hotspot, then you are safer, but consider using the VPN on the phone. I don’t leave it turned on all the time – only when using Public Wi-Fi or sensitive banking.
