Title: Using secure VPN with other browsers
Post by: andyb4242 on January 14, 2020, 03:15:31 PM

I just started a 60 day trial of the "Secure VPN Service".  Am I safe using Google chrome/Microsoft Edge?  Or do I need to use the Avast browser?

Thanks - Andy

The VPN runs independent of your browser.  Use any browser.

After turning AVAST Secureline VPN 'ON', I couldn't open Google Chrome or Firefox browsers at all. No links or browsers work with the facility turned ON, why? What I shall I do to run all the browsers smoothly with the VPN 'ON'. Thanks.

Sounds like a settings problem in your Firewall.
