Why Web Guard uses a VPN


Why Web Guard uses a VPN

Web Guard is designed to protect you from unsafe websites, including phishing and other scam sites, by checking them in real time. JustMe uses a secure VPN connection to do this — the only reliable way to provide device-wide web protection.

How it works

When Web Guard is turned on, it creates a secure VPN connection on your device. All internet traffic goes through this connection, allowing Web Guard to block unsafe websites before you reach them. This happens in real time, quietly in the background.

Not a typical VPN

Unlike typical VPNs for privacy or changing your location, JustMe's VPN is a safety layer designed to protect you from unsafe websites.

What to expect

A VPN icon may appear when Web Guard is active. Note that only one VPN can run at a time, so turning on another may disable Web Guard..
