The VidSqaure program is the primary product of VidSqaure Ltd. that is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. The VidSqaure program is promoted on Vidsqaure.com as a hybrid service that allows its users to benefit from a secure DNS configuration and a VPN server. The slogan of the VidSqaure service is "Fast, Simple and Safe" and computer users that are looking for a free VPN server and DNS service may be interested in installing VidSqaure. The VidSqaure app may hide the user's location and encode data sent to a remote server by using a unique and innovative data filter. Users are not required to pay a dime to benefit from VidSqaure, but you might want to know that VidSqaure is ad-supported.

That means marketers and advertisers related to VidSqaure may read information like your network traffic, IP address and software configuration. The VidSqaure app might gather information like your bookmarks collection and software configuration to help affiliated merchants provide tailor-suited ads on your screen. Additionally, VidSqaure may edit your network configuration to facilitate its functionality and interfere with games and backup services that you have installed.
