Avast VPN Review

data room tool

Avast’s antivirus software is well-known but the company also offers a premium VPN. It’s a quick, secure option but it’s also comparatively expensive. Avast gives new users an opportunity to try out a trial period of 30 days for free.

Contrary to other providers offering several protocols, Avast VPN only offers one protocol: OpenVPN over UDP with AES-256 encryption. This is a powerful cipher, which is used by banks. Avast also employs other encryption methods like ChaCha20 or RSA-2048.

Avast VPN on desktops and Android will automatically choose the best protocol for your connection. It tries to connect to OpenVPN first, and then switches to Mimic in case that fails. My experience has shown that this is not the most effective method for selecting a particular protocol. It would be better if the client had the option of choosing the protocol you prefer, and then let you know the success of it.

Avast VPN has a lot of servers spread across hundreds of locations across 34+ countries. I’m not certain if this list of servers is regularly updated enough, since the VPN did not have servers in China when I tried it. There are a few distinctive pieces of information that Avast tracks about your use including your full name and zip code.

Avast’s headquarters are in the Czech Republic. This country is GDPR-compliant, and is not part of any Eyes Alliance surveillance group. They do keep a couple of identifying connection logs and their no-logs policy does not explicitly exclude this. They accept payment via PayPal and credit cards, but do keep billing information. They also permit cookies to track your online activity.
