Avast blocks the connection of Privitize VPN, saying it is a malicious URL. However, I have been using Privitize VPN successfully without issue or malware for a while now.
My problem is that I have to completely disable Avast in order to use it, which defeats the purpose of having Avast. I have added exclusions to the Web Shield, to the File System Shield, and to the Behaviour Shield, but Avast ignores my direction and continues to block what it chooses. I understand that Avast thinks this is unsafe, but I am confident after using it for months that it is not. More to the point, why are exclusions ignored and I have no control over my antivirus protection?
My question is how do I get Avast to allow me to use my VPN without foregoing all other protections?
