Re: No VPN on initial install

Apple M1 Max 2022
MacOS Monterey 12.5

 

This occurred for me on Live safe, and when I upgraded to Total Protection - same then!

re "Our engineering team has fixed the issue. Kindly reinstall McAfee and let us know the outcome."  - no they haven't as far as my problems are concerned - On Macbook M1Max and MacOs  Monterey anyway!

Went through level 1 and level 2 support.

Apparently is new for Monterey 12.5 , but I had crashing errors /quitting on 12.4 as well

Antivirus seems to be working now after numerous clean installs - no crashed since support worked remotely on my machine and did new clean install of Total protection.

Still no VPN option - apparently they are "working on it"
No timeframe given

Just upgraded to Mcafee 4.15.0.0 (567)


Still no VPN though!

This version seems to be more resilient and less crashes - none so far

Can I delete the installer virtual disc from desktop now?
