WIN BETA: Avast SecureLine VPN v2.0 + free beta subscription for a month

Alright, so I’ve been lightly browsing the internet today while connected to a VPN location that is closest to me, DNS seems to be really slow.

Typing in addresses that are most likely cached are taking quite a bit to resolve it seems. I browsed around in Zillow.com looking at the map for houses for sale in my area, and the map definitely took a bit longer than usual to render.

Are there any settings for DNS leak protection? I usually turn it off and use local DNS servers configured on my network.

Private Internet Access has settings like this

Thank you. Where to send both files and what named would files be? I’ll post again when you say.

[EDIT:] Added attached pictures of AIS licensed system with Beta VPN system to follow:
Note: AIS SecureLine is protected by avast self-defense whereas Beta Standalone VPN is not.

Bit perplexed as to where files/logs are in AIS install.

Pictures attached for Beta VPN Standalone below:

Thanks for the beta. Installed on my main system, working fine so far.
Servers are noticeably slow compared to normal connection, I’ll check why this happens (what is slow: DNS, servers or something else?).

I’ve complained about the same problem. Still waiting for an explanation. :slight_smile:

Until now, everything is working pretty fine. I’m not having any issues and i’m always connected.

About the connection VPN speed, it’s normal depending where you are and where you trying to connect.
I’m in Germany, and all the European servers works fine and always fast. The american servers have decent speed.

PS: i love this new version.

:wink: Tnx!

What is you partner that provide the VPN servers? What are the logging and privacy policy of the VPN service?

Hi Just renewed my subscription for one year but when enter my activation code it just keeps loading.

Being a longtime user of Avast VPN, I will state this v2.0 is a much improved version. Stable and steady. Connections are holding very well without fail; and any decreases in speed over running it disconnected (non-VPN) aren’t significant. At least on my system.

I did notice this beta corrected an issue I had with the previous VPN (the alpha release) version. In that the previous one – after an Avast update – had an issue with the system tray icon not changing back to show disconnection status. But the icon changes correctly with v2.0.

Nice work on this one, Avast. I am definitely recommending your v2.0 to others.

Today I encountered an issue while trying out SecureLine v2 which occurs if your internet connection is disrupted. See the attached SecureLine logs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hdass3oyng78sfd/SecureLineVPN_standalone_bug_logs.zip?dl=1

When your internet connection goes down, SecureLine attempts to reconnect, but appears to stop retrying after a while and then the internet connection was established. This causes any unmonitored internet activity to get routed directly instead of through VPN servers.

Other than this, I found no other issues while trying out this Beta. Nice update!

This topic is 2 years old, no wonder it does not work anymore if you use the key posted here…

I downloaded the free version using to test the software, but when I click on the software, it wants a code. It sends me to buy it now and I don’t want to buy it now unless I try it. Then I saw this post of the Beta version, I tried to test it but it tells me that it is impossible since the code or the license does not work. What is needed for the program to work in FREE mode and to be able to test it?
;D

Hi, you can test it for 7 days, see: https://www.avast.com/secureline-vpn#pc

Here the trial software from the link https://www.avast.com/secureline-vpn#pc asks for the activation code. I cannot test the product.

You’re replying to a post from 2020. That offer has long gone by the wayside.

Why is this still pinned at the top of the list?
