<strong>Avast SecureLine VPN</strong>

Avast SecureLine VPN is a VPN service provided by Avast, a company that doesn’t really need an introduction thanks to its massively popular antivirus software. Since 2014, you can get Avast SecureLine VPN as part of the Avast subscription bundle or as a separate product.

Protect all your online activities from prying eyes. A single click launches a VPN and hides your IP address, allowing you to enjoy true privacy.

<h2 id="how-many-servers-and-server-locations-does-avast-secureline-have">How Many Servers and Server Locations Does Avast SecureLine VPN Have?</h2>
Avast SecureLine grants access to servers across 36 countries, which is respectable if below the 52 country average. Most of them are in Europe, however. While most VPN companies ignore Africa and South America, Avast has SecureLine VPN servers in Brazil and South Africa.

Sometimes it can be useful to have VPN servers in regions with repressive internet policies. Avast no longer has VPN servers in China or Russia, but does offer them in Turkey. Notably, it has maintained a presence in Ukraine. (these locations keep on changing)

Avast’s use of the highly secure OpenVPN and WireGuard protocols get it off to a good start in the privacy stakes. A kill switch protects you if the VPN drops, there’s DNS leak protection, and a bonus in WebRTC leak protection with the browser extension.

Avast also deserves credit for its VPN privacy policy<span class="sr-only">(opens in new tab)</span>. Not only does this have plenty of detail on what the service logs, and what it doesn’t, but the policy also explains this far more clearly than most.

The good news is SecureLine doesn’t log your originating IP address, DNS queries or anything else which could identify the websites you visit, the services and applications you use, or whatever else you might be doing online.

Avast SecureLine VPN’s Windows app takes up a little more screen real-estate than most of the competition, but it’s well-designed, and does a great job of talking even total VPN novices through the start-up process.

If you’re a newbie, for instance, you might think just running SecureLine VPN is enough, but the app is quick to point out the real situation. ‘Your online privacy is not protected’, it told us, sternly: ‘Turn on your VPN to encrypt what you do online.’

How do you do that? Just in case the large button currently marked ‘Off’ wasn’t enough of a clue, the app displayed a large arrow pointing to it, with the caption ‘Start here.’

Tap the button, and the app quickly connects to your nearest SecureLine server. While other apps then typically just display a ‘Connected’ message, Avast is far more clear and helpful: ‘Your connection is encrypted and your location is disguised.’
