Source-derived summary

Avast SecureLine VPN is a VPN service developed by Czech cybersecurity software company Avast. It is available for Android, Microsoft Windows, macOS and iOS operating systems and through the Avast One app. A late 2026 refresh of the app announced new features including double VPN, IP rotation, and VPN pause features.

The VPN can be set to automatically turn on when the user connects to a public Wi-Fi.

Functionality

Similar to other VPNs, SecureLine works by making the user appear in a different place via changing the user's IP address, bypassing internet censorship for the country the user is in or Wi-Fi the user is using. The VPN can be set to automatically turn on when the user connects to a public Wi-Fi, uses torrent apps, uses banking websites or apps, or streaming videos.

Security features of Avast SecureLine VPN include: 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard, single shared IP, DNS leak protection, kill switch, and Smart Connection Rules.

In 2026, Avast added an option for a "double VPN" (aka "multi-hop") routing traffic through two VPN servers to provide an extra layer of protection. The update also added the ability for users to select "IP rotation" that automatically selects a new IP address as frequently as every 30 seconds, making it more difficult for third parties to track users by associating activities with one fixed IP address.

The 2026 refresh also added an option to activate post-quantum encryption.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Avast SecureLine VPN” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Avast, SecureLine and subscription provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20311594. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2026.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
