VeePN Removal Guide

If you have downloaded the VeePN Google Chrome extension, you might start seeing ads because this potentially unwanted program (PUP) is set to promote links to external websites and services. The app is free, and the creator might use advertising to support itself. That being said, the free version might also work as a taster because its services are quite limited. At the time of research, the program offered users servers in six different locations, but Premium version users could unlock a list of servers in 2,500 locations. The prices for this Premium version are introduced at veepn.com, and when we analyzed the extension, people could choose from three different plans ($10.99 per month for one month, $5.83 per month for one year, or $1.67 per month for five years). Whether you have paid for the services of the tool, and you want to learn more, or you are still thinking about employing the tool, we suggest that you continue reading the report. If you have already decided to delete VeePN, check out the removal guide below.

Just like most Google Chrome extensions, the VeePN extension can be found on the Chrome web store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/veepn-unlimited-free-fast/majdfhpaihoncoakbjgbdhglocklcgno). If this is where you downloaded the PUP from, you must have been informed that the extension can “read and change all your data on the websites you visit.” That can be viewed as a highly intrusive action. On top of that, the extension can change “privacy-related settings,” and it can also manage other “apps, extensions, and themes.” This alone might stop some users in their tracks, and this might be the point where they decide to find a different VPN service. Of course, some users might be more interested in the benefits provided by the extension. It is advertised as a fast VPN proxy service with privacy and security features. It is meant to help unblock websites, protect data, and also keep hackers away. The description supporting the Chrome web store installer also claims that VeePN offers “one of the best VPNs on the market.” This might entice some users to install the PUP, but that does not mean that you cannot change your mind and delete it at any point.

Overall, there are three main reasons why Chrome users might choose to remove VeePN from their browsers. First of all, they might find the services limited, and they might be unwilling to pay for the Premium version of the tool. Second, they might feel uncomfortable with the creator of the program – who, by the way, is located in Panama – to record and store personal information. Finally, those who do not switch from the free to the paid version of VeePN are likely to be introduced to ads, and depending on how many of those might show up, people might feel distracted and interrupted. Overall, this extension is not identified as a huge threat, and it all pretty much comes down to preference. If you do not find this program to be a perfect match for you, it is most likely that you will decide to remove it, and the good news is that that is an easy task to handle.

The instructions below present an easy way to remove VeePN from the Google Chrome web browser. Of course, before you eliminate this extension, we suggest installing a legitimate malware scanner, especially if you are not completely sure that the extension was installed in a transparent manner. Our researchers report that some users might be introduced to the installer once they are redirected to it from a different website. You want to be sure that there are no unreliable adware programs lurking around. Basically, scanning the system is mostly a precautionary measure. Obviously, if you discover threats, we suggest installing a legitimate anti-malware program. It will automatically delete VeePN and more serious threats.
