The antivirus software of Avast is well-known however, the company also offers an excellent VPN. It’s a speedy and secure option, however it’s a bit costly. Avast provides a free trial of 30 days for new users.

Unlike other providers that offer different protocols, Avast VPN only offers one: OpenVPN over UDP with AES-256 encryption. This is a highly secure cipher that is considered military-grade, and it’s the same cipher that is used by banks. Avast also uses other encryption techniques like ChaCha20 or RSA-2048.

The Avast VPN client on desktops and Android devices can automatically pick the best protocol for your connection. It attempts to connect to OpenVPN first, then switches to Mimic in case that fails. This isn’t my opinion the most intelligent way to choose the best protocol. It would be better if you could give the client an option to choose the protocol you prefer and tell you how it has worked.

Avast VPN is a VPN with a lot of servers. It offers 700+ locations in more than 34 countries. However I’m unsure if the list is regularly updated enough as the VPN didn’t have any servers in China during my tests. Avast collects information about your usage including your full name as well as zipcode.

Avast is headquartered in the Czech Republic, which is GDPR-compliant and does not belong to any of the Eyes Alliance surveillance groups. The company does maintain connection logs, which can identify users and the “no-logs” policy does not prohibit this. They accept payments through PayPal as well as credit cards. However, they do keep billing information. They also allow cookies to monitor your online activities.
