I have MacBook Air and use a VPN to stream UK TV abroad (personal computer) since installing McAfee live safe it 'blocks' the VPN so I cannot use it - VPN supplier has suggested closing Live safe if I want to use VPN but not an ideal situation and also don't know how to do it.
Any help in simple language for a not too tech savvy OAP would be appreciated.
Unsure if this will work also for windows so might need to adjust to match what the mAC version has

1- Head over to the Mcafee icon in the notifications tray, and then right-click on it
2- Next, click on “Firewall”.
3- From “Firewall”, choose “Internet Connections for Programs”.
4- Choose your VPN program, and then choose “Edit” in order to give it access. If you can find your VPN program in the list, then hit the “Add” button and browse until you find it.
5- From the “Access” section, choose “Incoming and outgoing” in order to permit incoming traffic as well as outgoing traffic to the app. If you choose “Outgoing Only”, you will give access to outbound traffic only.
