Avast One / Re: VPN - Used to remain on after reboot - now doesn't

« Last post by Seven on Today at 12:48:28 PM »

Thank you, but those options are not available on Avast One, as far as I can tell. What are you using?

Previously, I have rebooted and the VPN was on at boot. It stopped doing this after an update a few months ago and I now have to manually turn on the VPN.

Have you changed default scan settings?
Have you tried avast repair and restart?

I have the same problem. Is it due to incorrect virus definition? I saw the following webpage and I do not know if they are related.

Hello,

Seems as if you both are advanced, so here is a link to an avast anti-rootkit shield article:  https://businesshelp.avast.com/Content/Products/AfB_Antivirus/ConfiguringSettings/CoreShieldSettings.htm

Of course these settings may or may not be available in consumer-grade applications tho.

For Avast Premium Security Menu>Settings>Search>Geek:Area will give you a hidden settings area but no anti-root settings available there.

Menu>Settings>Protection>Core Shields will show anti-rootkit but no settings to modify other than to turn on or off.

Rebooting or restarting a system will clear all memory and processes, including Avast VPN currently running vpn connections.

You can automatically have Avast turn on your vpn when you connect to the internet (see attached png below):

If there is no current internet connection, Avast VPN will not be 'on', as you say.
