How To Uninstall Mask VPN – Delete from Any Device

Uninstalling VPNs from your device is not a move we recommend. That’s like taking away the one thing that can secure your internet connections and keep you safe from cyber predators. However, as unwise as this move is, we also recognize that people may have good reasons for uninstalling the Mask VPN from their devices. 

For some users, it can be because they have run out of space, and uninstalling the app will free up some space. Others may be uninstalling the app to reinstall the app as a means to troubleshoot the application. On the other hand, some users may want to get rid of the application because of the annoying pop-up ads. Whatever your reasons, we’ll show you how to get rid of the Mask VPN application on any device.

What is Mask VPN, and What are Its Benefits?

Mask VPN is a free VPN application that offers its users a fast and secure internet connection. The app is available for download on Google Play Store, and the app icon is a mask. This application, like other VPNs, comes with other benefits. They include; 

• Giving you access to restricted websites or content: This is one of the favorite benefits of the Mask VPN. A lot of websites tend to use geo-based restrictions to ward off users from specific regions. For instance, a user from Africa may be restricted from using certain websites in some European countries or in America. The same applies to media content. Certain TV shows or movies on Netflix may not be available to Netflix users in some countries. With Mask VPN, you won’t experience this because the application will give you access to any website or media content you want.
• Data privacy: On the internet, your information is key. If you don’t want to experience targeted advertising or have your digital footprint visible, Mask VPN will keep you anonymous while you surf the net by masking your IP address. Sensitive information, such as your banking details, can be intercepted by hackers when making online transactions. This is why making your online presence anonymous cannot be emphasized enough.
• Improved internet connection: Mask VPN hides your data from internet service providers so that they can’t throttle your internet connection when you reach your monthly limit. This ensures you can enjoy unlimited data usage, and there will be no lags or buffers when you want to play video games online or stream media content. 

These are some of the benefits of Mask VPN. If you’re still insistent on uninstalling it, then let’s get to it.

If you’re using a macOS-powered device, follow the steps below:

• Close the AppCleaner and re-launch it again. Ensure you keep the main window open.
