You will then see instructions on the main menu to teach you how to use the 1-click connection. The first time you launch Avast SecureLine VPN, a pop-up window tells you what VPNs are for and a very simple set of instructions on how to use the VPN. SecureLine is one of those VPNs that takes the term “easy-to-use” seriously – very seriously indeed. The way we judge a good user interface is if we find it’s easy enough for our mothers (or grandmothers) to navigate. Product Interface: One-click as well (wow, they really keep it simple) No need to type in any personal or credit card information. You will be greeted with a download link when you visit the Avast SecureLine website, just click that and you’re all set. The sign-up literally takes one click – seriously. Some honorable mentions are Mullvad and Windscribe. We’ve tried so many VPN services, and we have never seen a sign-up that’s as easy as what Avast offers. Sign-Up Process: A one-click process It’s really that easy to get things going. There’s not much harm in the process, but we prefer trials that don’t ask for any credit card or any personal information for simplicity’s sake. We appreciate Avast for providing a 7-day trial that doesn’t require your personal details. ![]() This method effectively places a charge on your credit card which you can eventually refund – we consider it an annoyance. On a side note, a pet peeve of ours is when VPN providers take your credit card info for you to use their trial. In the event that you pay for an actual subscription, Avast offers a very forgiving 30-day money-back guarantee. Refund Policy: 30-day money-back guarantee The group of on-the-go individuals who would greatly benefit from such a service will look at the cheap subscription with appreciation it comes out to just $1.67 per month. What separates Avast SecureLine from other VPN providers when it comes to pricing, is that they offer single-device solutions which significantly reduces the price.Ī VPN subscription with Avast goes for as low as $19.99 per year for single mobile device use. You can see in this review why Avast’s VPN is worth the price tag. This price is on-par with ExpressVPN except you only have to sign up for a year instead of two. ![]() Pricing & Plans: Very flexible indeedĪt $79.99 per year for the 5-device plan ($6.67 per month), Avast SecureLine comes off as a fair-priced VPN service.

Torrenting Policy: P2P-friendlyĪlthough you never see the word “torrent” on their website (and no, we don’t believe you’ll ever see a publicly trading company promoting P2P activities), it’s pretty clear Avast’s VPN supports peer-to-peer networking. These servers aren’t as fast for downloading as the other servers due to congestion, but streaming at higher resolutions was never a problem. We’ve tried streaming on both our PC and mobile devices Netflix works perfectly on both platforms. You can select these dedicated servers via the main menu. The servers are located in the US, most likely for Netflix, and another one in the UK, which serves as your gateway for BBC iPlayer we presume.
