Foreign language ads recently
« on: December 16, 2019, 05:30:36 PM »
I've been receiving ads, website suggestions, youtube video suggestions in a foreign language in the last week, both on SecureLine VPN Windows-computer, and SecureLine IOS-cellphone. My location is set for a US city. It is disconcerting, even though I realize that Avast is a Czech company. For example, trying to find a certain video, all the suggestions are in a different language. I've had to turn off my VPN in order to get pertinent information.

Hi,

Please note that we are working on improving this issue.
There are several reasons why this might occur.
Please see this article: https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/SecureLine-VPN-FAQ#idt_6300

Could you please provide the virtual IP address of the Secureline VPN location in question.
In the meantime, please use one of the other USA VPN locations.

Thank you for your reply. I had read the article and knew that there was something that could help.
