While it may add some convenience, there is not much else that VPN browser extensions offer, as we explained in our guide on the best VPNs for Chrome. These extensions add WebRTC leak protection to the VPN’s capabilities, but other than that simply serve as a way to control the VPN from within the browser window. Your subscription also includes browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome. This is about average in the industry, and what we see with most other VPNs. Subscriptions are available for a single device or for 5 simultaneous devices. You can also use a VPN on Apple TV, but this will usually require using a router. SecureLine can even protect your Smart TV if it runs Android TV. Support for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android operating systemsĪ subscription to Avast SecureLine VPN allows you to install the product on devices running the following operating systems: Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. If you want to use WireGuard, two great options for this are NordVPN and Surfshark. There is currently no support for the WireGuard VPN protocol, IKEv2, or any other protocols. In keeping with this VPN’s ease-of-use approach, there are no real options to adjust when it comes to privacy and security features. Strong privacy and security featuresĪvast SecureLine VPN uses strong, industry-standard privacy and security features. It too passed the leak tests with no problems. The IP address does indeed correspond to Miami, FL.

It turns out that the database that uses to map an IP address to a physical location, is not 100% accurate. Although you can see in the VPN window on the left that I am connected to a server in Miami, USA, on the right is claiming the IP address if the server I am connected to is in Italy. Note: You might have noticed something odd in the image above. SecureLine VPN doesn’t support IPv6, so of course that test will fail.

Look on the right and you will see that my virtual IP address is the one that is seeing.ĭon’t worry about the IPv6 “error” in the preceding image. If you look closely on the left (circled in red), you can see my Virtual IP address (at the time I was writing this). The following image shows the Windows VPN in action. The VPN protects against DNS leaks by forcing DNS requests to go to the VPN’s own DNS servers through the encrypted VPN tunnel.

The Avast SecureLine VPN apps didn’t show any problems: no leaks, no crashes. We ran the SecureLine VPN through our standard set of VPN tests, looking for things that didn’t work right. As you can see in the image above, the optimal location the VPN selected was the Miami, USA server location from among 57 possible locations.
