Downloaded beta subscription and it worked for one day. Now I receive a pop-up displaying it cannot establish a connection. It is a stand alone.Uninstalled beta and reinstalled to no avail.

Cannot run two systems on same network using avast vpn at the same time.  Two different licenses in use, first is for one use 1 year, and second is the beta version good for one month.   

Both vpn installations work, just not simultaneously.  I get a server glitch issue on the beta version and a server refusal on the paid for version.   :o

Hi, thank you for the report. Can you, please, send us contents of "c:\programdata\avast software\secureline\log" directory of both systems?

Just got installed today, will be using it all day and I'll let you know.

So far, it's nice!

I removed the SafeZone component from Avast - rebooted and then installed the stand alone version.
That prevented what I thought would have caused a conflict. It probably would have been nice to spell that out right away. :)

Alright, so I've been lightly browsing the internet today while connected to a VPN location that is closest to me, DNS seems to be really slow.

Typing in addresses that are most likely cached are taking quite a bit to resolve it seems.  I browsed around in Zillow.com looking at the map for houses for sale in my area, and the map definitely took a bit longer than usual to render.

Are there any settings for DNS leak protection?  I usually turn it off and use local DNS servers configured on my network.

Private Internet Access has settings like this

Thank you.  Where to send both files and what named would files be?  I'll post again when you say.

[EDIT:]  Added attached pictures of AIS licensed system with Beta VPN system to follow:
Note:  AIS SecureLine is protected by avast self-defense whereas Beta Standalone VPN is not.

Bit perplexed as to where files/logs are in AIS install.

Thanks for the beta. Installed on my main system, working fine so far.
Servers are noticeably slow compared to normal connection, I'll check why this happens (what is slow: DNS, servers or something else?).

I've complained about the same problem. Still waiting for an explanation. :)

Until now, everything is working pretty fine. I'm not having any issues and i'm always connected.

About the connection VPN speed, it's normal depending where you are and where you trying to connect.
I'm in Germany, and all the European servers works fine and always fast. The american servers have decent speed.

PS: i love this new version.

Windows 11 Pro - Version 21H2 - 64 Bits | Avast SecureLine VPN - Standalone

Will and when this stand-alone version will be integrated as component in the main Avast security suite?

Yes, the plan is to have this standalone version as a component integrated in the main Avast but as a more standalone experience. This means you will be able to access it from the main AV menu but the VPN UI would work separately. Timing wise, we're looking at next two months.

 ;) Tnx!

What is you partner that provide the VPN servers? What are the logging and privacy policy of the VPN service?
