Avast 2017 premier. • Pros Good speed test results. Free version available. • Cons Confusing pricing structure. Few servers and few server locations.

Access to Avast SecureLine for your PC or Mac is $59.99 per year. This comes out to about $5 per month for access to only one device. Access to this VPN for Android, iPhone, or iPad is $19.99 per year. Avast SecureLine VPN crack protects the system from malware, and the established firewall doesn’t allow to have unauthorized access to the computers. It protects the data uploaded and downloaded from the internet.

No stand-out features. • Bottom Line Avast SecureLine offers VPN security and solid speed test scores, but it's hampered by a lack of features and servers, as well as convoluted pricing. A virtual private network, or VPN, adds an additional layer of security to your internet connection. Avast SecureLine VPN has the pedigree of a leading antivirus company behind it, and it produced some impressive speed test scores in testing. But it comes up short of the thanks to an expensive and inflexible pricing plan and unimpressive server infrastructure.

It has the core of a good service, but one that needs fleshing out. Instead, I recommend Editors' Choice winner NordVPN, which offers a powerful yet friendly product, and co-winner Private Internet Access, which has the most robust VPN collection of VPN servers I've yet reviewed. That encrypted tunnel also masks your web activities from your internet service provider. That's handy, especially since Congress recently gave the green light for anonymized user data. VPNs can also be used to circumvent internet restrictions, either imposed by oppressive governments or, say, the BBC making sure that only UK citizens can stream videos. That's because a VPN can connect to servers located in places other than your actual, physical location. If your local government blocks certain websites, a VPN will tunnel out to another country where you can access the internet freely.

A VPN also hides your IP address, since your web traffic appears to be coming from the VPN server and not your computer. Note that it's up to you to research local laws and terms of service before using a VPN. All that said, using a VPN doesn't guard against all dangers. Malicious ads, malware, and other network attacks can still harm your computer and steal personal information. I highly recommend using software to keep your computer protected from all angles. Pricing and Features When I first looked at SecureLine, I was dismayed to find that it didn't offer a multi-device pricing tier. Thankfully, Avast has since loosened up and rolled out a pricing scheme that is far better for consumers.
