Excellent tech support

My tech support contact (Tom) was super responsive in trying to help with my issue and even followed up to ensure I was all set. I first did a chat and then the person with whom I was chatting forwarded my issue to my tech support contact and he was great! The follow up was over multiple days. Definite 5 star experience!

Virtual Shield Support is Prompt!

I have used Virtual Shield for several years, primarily for internet browsing privacy. Recently had an issue. I had disconnected my computer, printer, etc from outlets for a week long vacation. Upon return and hook up the computer had stopped communicating with my wireless printer. I figured out the enabled VPN was the issue. Virtual Shield support chat quickly put in a ticket for me and Tom promptly replied via email with the steps to restore communication between devices.
I have also upgraded to Virtual Shield Security. Previously I had used WebRoot which was not compatible with Virtual Shield. It's also a better deal using just one company for security needs.

Pearl was very helpful and very willing to help. My payment was blocked by the bank and she reran the payment successfully. There was an issue logging in as I had an older email account and I needed the account updated with the new address. Pearl corrected this as well in a very timely manner.

~ Best VPN Service Available ~

~ My husband and I own and operate a busy real estate investment company. We are the liaison between highly motivated sellers with problem properties and buyers to solve our clients' needs.

Recently, my macOS was upgraded to Sequoia. I didn't realise it would affect my VPN. For some reason, it wasn't connecting with the upgrade. With the encrypted service being down, I was very concerned that our IP address would be exposed [to hackers]. Two years ago, my favourite online news programme promoted VS's website. I was curious, took advantage of the free trial and, was NOT disappointed.

Since we live in the mountains, wacky weather patterns sometimes affect our service and/or the internet goes out. After a brief online chat, Amanda was very helpful and referred me to Tom (whom I dealt with before). We are very satisfied with VirtualShield, their technical support is the best, they're very professional and caring. Price points for their plans are quite reasonable. I highly recommend. ~

Great company excellent costumer service

I have been using VirtualShield for 2 years now. Great company. Costumer service was awesome today. I had some issues with my computer and Sonia helped, texting me back and forth until the problem was completely resolved. She was very friendly and super professional.

VirtualShield Support

Life is full of obstacles in our everyday life, how we face and deal with those obstacles is what defines us.
Actions that support solving problems with a product are so important; they define a company as much as its product.
VirtualShield is one of those companies that show they are there for you if you have a problem
I've had a couple of problems since purchasing VirtualShield 6 years ago, and each time, John and his team have been there to help me resolve the problem immediately.
They really do go the extra mile to help you.
A product you can purchase and have total faith in their service.
