Avast SecureLine VPN is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) — a secure, encrypted connection between two networks or between an individual user and a network — and it protects the data you upload and download online by functioning as a private tunnel through the internet.
Avast SecureLine VPN masks your IP address by acting as an intermediary and rerouting your traffic. It also adds encryption, or a tunnel around your identity, as you connect. The combination of the VPN server and the encryption tunnel blocks your ISP, governments, hackers, and anyone else from spying on you as you navigate the web.
Instead of sending your internet traffic (e.g. your online searches, uploads, and downloads) directly to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), a VPN first routes your traffic through a VPN server. That way, when your data is finally transmitted to the internet, it appears to come from the VPN server, not your personal device.
By providing a secure, encrypted internet connection, Avast Secureline VPN lets you hide your IP address, and keeps your online activity and communications completely private and anonymous. It stops third parties from seeing what you do online, and you can also safely use unsecured public Wi-Fi. You can also unblock websites and access geo-restricted content from wherever you are.
