TAP Driver Version 9.0.0.9 Question

I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security 2019 on Windows 10 x64, and it has issues with driver version .21. Fortunately, my VPN service (TorGuard) provides two driver versions for compatibility reasons -- .9 and .21.
So I was wondering if .9 is still safe to use.
Please advise.

So .9 on Windows 10 is not safe to use?

Thanks!
I've switched to Windows Defender.
