Having the same problem after installing Catalina on the Mac. Avast VPN works, but as soon as the Kill switch is activated, all internet traffic is blocked and no connection is valid.

Looks like we are all in the same boat :wink: . When Praha wakes up in the AM we’d all appreciate some assistance with the Catalina OS issue (Killswitch Online Issue). - Cheers

Hello everyone,

Thank you for reporting the issue. We are investigating it and we have a temporary solution in the form of a bash script.
Cheers,
B.

#!/bin/bash

AVAST_KILL_SWITCH="/Library/Application Support/AvastSecureLine/hub/modules/040_killswitch.sh"
sudo sed 's/UTUN\[5\]/UTUN\[$\{#UTUN\[@\]\}-1]/g' "$AVAST_KILL_SWITCH" > "/tmp/040_killswitch.sh"
sudo chmod 755 "/tmp/040_killswitch.sh"
sudo mv "/tmp/040_killswitch.sh" "$AVAST_KILL_SWITCH"

I ran the script on my Mac Terminal but nothing has changed, I still can’t access the internet with my SecureLine VPN on. Please advise.

I second the same as the last comment, still having the same issue after running the script.

Hi guys,

it worked for us, could you try to run it, go to settings, disable KS, connect, disconnect and enable it?
This is verified to work by me.

Sorry for your troubles,
B.

Hello everyone!
We will release new version in near future with this issue fixed. Did you disable the kill-switch in the settings?

Do you know when? I’ve been attempting to get answers from support via email and Reddit, but received nothing useful via Reddit, and email support doesn’t exist, apparently.

My subscription is ending in a week, and I’m thinking of looking for a new VPN now.
