Avast VPN review is an excellent start in privacy stakes thanks to its no-logging policy. It also gets high marks for its extensive list of features, including a kill switch and DNS leak protection.
In our tests, we discovered the avastVP Windows client to be extremely user-friendly and easy to use. It requires just one click to connect to a server and changing location is as easy. Both the Android and iOS apps share the same design. Both have lists of servers optimized for streaming and P2P filesharing which makes it easy to locate a suitable server.
While the mobile apps lack some of the features of desktop software, they’re still superior to the competition. They support a variety of protocols that include OpenVPN TCP and UDP ports and IKEv2/IPsec.
The Mac app comes with additional functions with Smart VPN mode. It will recognize when you are connecting to a sensitive website and close the VPN session when you’ve left. For example, if you visit an online banking or torrent site. This is a feature no other competitor offers.
Avast SecureLine’s free trial of 60 days is one of the most generous on the market, more than doubling the standard seven-day trial and requiring no initial purchase. It also lets users connect up to 10 devices with the same subscription, which is above the norm. The cost is a bit high compared to its competitors, despite its positives.
