Avast SecureLine VPN

[MultiTroll]

What exact function does this perform?

Why would one want / not want this on and working properly?

Mine has "Encountered a technical issue" and no further explanation is given.

Virtual Private Network..

Hide your identity online, access sites restricted by location. Perverts like Avante use it for illegal activities.

Avast is the antivirus and internet security suite guy, Secureline VPN is just an additional option to go with it. I like it because it doesn't need any additional tweaking to download using uTorrent.

I use TORguard VPN. Got a year for $25.

For the layman, typically when you connect to a website, the connection goes something like this: Your computer > Your router > Your ISP > The website (yes there are usually other hops involved but this is simple). The website and your computer then talk to each other.

This is your connection via a VPN: Your computer > Router > ISP > A local or international "swarm" > The website (again very simplified)

The "swarm" is a cluster of anonymous connections that are designed to basically fold your connection into a masking net of thousands of other users simultaneously. The website "talks" to the swarm which then exchanges information with your computer.

It's a much more secure way to browse the net anonymously.
