The Avast SecureLine is an internet security application developed by Avast Software that provides a subscription based virtual private network (VPN) service. It is available on Android, Microsoft Windows, macOS and iOS.
SecureLine users' internet traffic is encrypted and redirected through a tunnel via Avast data centers in order to anonymize their online activity, protect users from hacking and some forms of surveillance and allow an unrestricted access to the Internet. A VPN also prevents user's browsing data and history from being collected and sold by ISPs or other entities that would normally have access to them.

Background
SecureLine users' both outgoing and incoming internet traffic is encrypted and redirected through a tunnel via Avast data centers. This service provides the following:
- Anonymization of online activity such as browsing sessions, downloads and internet traffic of other software applications
- Protection against hacking and some forms of surveillance
- Access to websites restricted due to Internet censorship or geo-blocking
Similar to other VPNs, SecureLine works by making the user appear in a different place via changing the users IP address, bypassing internet censorship for the country the user is in or Wi-Fi the user is using. The VPN can be set to automatically turn on when the user connects to a public Wi-Fi. A VPN also prevents user's browsing data and history from being collected and sold by ISPs or other entities that would normally have access to them.
The subscription cost for one Microsoft Windows or macOS is $7.99 for one month, $59.99 for one year or $109.99 for two years.
