Eddy, are you an official representative of Avast?
People from avast will have "avast member" underneath their name.
Is your opinion based on facts or assumptions?
It is not a opinion.
I'm just stating facts with over 35 years of experience with computer, networks and such.
To give a clue, I started with a 300 baud acoustic modem.
If you are going to make these claims then please let me know how you find out.
That is easy, it is called knowledge.
And you don't have to believe me, you can simple contact the BBC's IT department and ask them or do research and learn how things are working/what is possible and such.
I understand that there many ways that a VPN can be blocked but
As I said, they do not just block by IP but also by other means.
if a service is offered that does not work as advertised, then a fix should be found
As I also said, there is no fix possible as it is not a problem with Secureline.
It is the BBC that is blocking things and they are the only ones who can change it.
if a service is offered that does not work as advertised
You could say it does work as advertised.
It does bypass geo-restrictions.
This is really easy to check.
Enable secureline and use one of the many sites that shows your IP and location.
If you have selected a UK server and the sites say that the IP is in the UK everything is working like it should.
The fact that a certain site won't let you visited it or prevent you from seeing things/doing things have nothing to do with Secureline (or any other VPN service for that matter) are working.
VPN's change their IP address range to stop them from being blocked.
Sure avast can use millions of different IP's for Secureline.
But that will come at a cost.
Are you willing to pay $100's per month to use it ?
Once again, I ask Avast to comment officially on this
people from avast already did in other threads.
Go read them.
