Secureline Technical Info

[irongod]

I am currently using Secureline with AIS v8 and v9 (not mobile) and I'd like to have more technical information about it! 

I am not an expert of networking, protocols, ports etc, nevertheless I found really few information about the capabilities and specifications of this product...

For example which protocol is used? (I read that can use PPTP, L2TP or OpenVPN... but since they differ pretty much, which is the one actually used?) Which encryption level is used? All the traffic on every port is encrypted or only the internet one?

Many thanks!

Hi

You  could look here:http://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn

I've use Secureline for a few months with very little trouble. VPN's are never 100% as connection variables are numerous.
But I'm finding Secureline serves it's purpose for me.

Thanks for your reply! 

Nevertheless I was looking for some further technical detail:

• Which protocol is used (PPTP, L2TP, IPSEC or OpenVPN)?
• In case is PPTP which is the encryption level 40/56 or 128 bits?
• TCP and UDP ports are encrypted?
• Does it encrypts all the ports or only internet browser ones?

maybe some question are silly, but I'm not big expert of the matter!

No worries.
I'm just a user and not versed on technical information...
