Avira Phantom VPN will not autoconnect to a server when Windows starts up, it doesn't have that function. And you can't install their VPN on a router, they do not support it.
I bought the license and when I activated it, I can see its for 5 years and not lifetime. Can someone explain this please? And is it possible to get a refund? I did contact stacksocial.com yesterday and I'm waiting for a answer.
I can confirm that the connection speed is good.
After 5 years it will renew to another 5 years automatically for the lifetime as far as I know and you can configure it to auto connect when windows startup.it works perfectly for me!Avira Phantom VPN will not autoconnect to a server when Windows starts up, it doesn't have that function.

There is an option in settings as 'AUTO connect VPN for wifi networks' and you can choose wifi networks which avira phantom should auto connect to!How do you configure it to auto connect? People in other forums says it doesn't have that function and I can't find it either. Just to be clear, I don't talk about startup in windows, but auto connect to a server immediately when Windows starts.

I have been trying out Windscribe Pro on a one year deal, because the price and performance of the free VPN was decent. Quite happy with the service! But Avira was my 2nd choice, and it actually performed a bit better for me speed wise during testing, but the subscription price was not even close to what Windscribe offered me for a year.
So this offer may be too good to pass up vs. Windscribe lifetime. Plus I would expect Avira to have a better business model as a company, to allow them to remain in business longer, vs. a fairly new company. These lifetime deals do come with a caveat that the company needs to remain in business to continue providing the service.

I see some mixed results through these reviews that I found:
- Avira Phantom VPN Review - BestVPN.com
- Avira Phantom VPN Reviews 2018 - Why 4.0 Stars?
- Avira Phantom VPN

I do agree that Avira is a good company and has provided some nice security tools for end users to have for free/paid security.
