The Avast SecureLine VPN is an application developed by Avast that provides a subscription based virtual private network (VPN) service. It is available on Android, Microsoft Windows, macOS and iOS.

SecureLine VPN users' internet traffic is encrypted and redirected through a tunnel via Avast data centers in order to anonymize their online activity, protect users from hacking and some forms of surveillance and allow an unrestricted access to the Internet. A VPN also prevents user's browsing data and history from being collected and sold by ISPs or other entities that would normally have access to them.

Background

SecureLine VPN users' both outgoing and incoming internet traffic is encrypted and redirected through a tunnel via Avast data centers. This changes the geolocation of the IP address of the user to that of the selected VPN server. This service provides the following:

Anonymization of online activity such as browsing sessions, downloads and internet traffic of other software applications
Protection against hacking and some forms of surveillance
Access to websites restricted due to Internet censorship or geo-blocking

Similar to other VPNs, SecureLine works by making the user appear in a different place via changing the users IP address, bypassing internet censorship for the country the user is in or Wi-Fi the user is using. The VPN can be set to automatically turn on when the user connects to a public Wi-Fi. A VPN also prevents user's browsing data and history from being collected and sold by ISPs or other entities that would normally have access to them.

The subscription cost for one Microsoft Windows or macOS is $7.99 for one month, $59.99 for one year or $109.99 for two years.
