Avast SecureLine VPN Review 2019 - Good Antivirus, Bad VPN

Avast is a world-renowned company that you have certainly come across, be it using their virus-protection software or a wide range of other products. This VPN product is a new service Avast offers, and we find it hard to believe they haven’t tried this earlier. There are ways to use their VPN service both for free and for a minor charge, which ultimately gives you access to more options and faster speed. And if there is one thing you can count on, it’s that Avast provides a safe service that is easy to use and a good deal for those who do not have the means to enjoy a more expensive service. Currently the company has servers in 27 locations in 19 countries, but they do not provide ad blocking for that matter.
What most people like about Avast is that their products are easy to use. This is probably the best option for beginners and those who do not have the time to set up more complicated services. It only takes several minutes to install the application and set it up. And just like when you use their antivirus software, you will not even notice it running.
Currently the service is available for Mac and Pcs, as well as a wide range of mobile devices that are powered by Android and iOS operating systems. If you use this on your mobile device, you will notice it does not slow down the performance of your device, which is not just practical, it is essential.
Avast SecureLine initially used to offer their services for $79.99, but have since lowered the price to $59.99 for a whole year. If you choose to select the monthly option, you will be charged $7.99. You can select to go with a one-year, two-year or even three-year license, but think about it before you decide on such a long-term commitment.
Most of the customer support Avast provides is sent to their respective online forums, which can be quite a nuisance sometimes, but every now and then you will find the best answers among those who have had the same experiences. If you go with the paid version of the service, you can rely on a full-fledged phone support that is available every day of the week at any hour of the day.
Avast SecureLine is both secure and fast, and will immediately find a footing with newcomers, but if you are more experienced and seek something more established, then you should go with another provider.

Avast Secureline VPN has two types of VPNs. They have plans for a single device and plans for multi-devices (which allow up to five simultaneous connections).
For a single device, one month is $7.99, one year is $47.99 ($4/month), and two years in $109.99 ($4.58/month).
For their multi-device plan, one month is $8.99, one year is $63.99 ($5.33/month), and two years for $149.99 ($6.25/month).
It doesn't make sense to us that the two-year plan would cost more per month than the one-year plan, but either way, there are other VPNs out there that can give you more for less.

After installed VPN from AVAST my speed at the internet went from 120 Mps to 56 Mps. Too bad. I tested with the Danish government speed test program. When the VPN are deactivated I got the high speed, and when activated (placed I am in Denmark, which I am) I got less than half the high speed. This must be fixed if the VPN will have a future in my home. otherwise it's a OK program.
