Being a longtime user of Avast VPN, I will state this v2.0 is a much improved version. Stable and steady. Connections are holding very well without fail; and any decreases in speed over running it disconnected (non-VPN) aren't significant. At least on my system.
I did notice this beta corrected an issue I had with the previous VPN (the alpha release) version. In that the previous one -- after an Avast update -- had an issue with the system tray icon not changing back to show disconnection status. But the icon changes correctly with v2.0.
Nice work on this one, Avast. I am definitely recommending your v2.0 to others.
