Well, after 3 days with no VPN and no sign or word from Avast that they can and or will do anything about it I had to buy another VPN product.
I lashed out and purchased a VYPRVNP Pro subscription. It worked straight way without any issues. Its actually giving me better page load response that I have ever had.
What is really amusing is that when i connected with the new VPN SecureLine decided that it was now able to see the license server and also download the server-list. This is further proof that the problem is related to The Great Firewall and not a local computer issue.
I use China Mobile Limited with an unlimted Cable-DSL link.
I also found an article online at
http://www.biztekmojo.com/00366/avast-blocked-great-firewall-china-us-against-chinas-anti-terrorism-law which was dated to 03/02/2015 - it could be that some ISP's where a little slow on the uptake and that. It would also explain why access with SecureLine seemed to have been getting slower and proving more difficult to get a connection. For instance, I had not been able to connect to San-Jose for along time, and that server used to give me the best speed.
And it as all because I couldn't connect to SWTOR to play from China!
I have been doing truckloads of developing in the past few moths and do a lot of uploading. Now I need find out how to get the monthly renewal stopped on my second laptop - don't even know how it got to be that way - I only purchased SecureLineit for one month on that computer..
