As long as they don't force it onto their users like Avast I'm fine with this, seems quite fitting for their current portfolio with the anti tracking browser add-on.

@Enju How does Avast force users to use SecureLine VPN? I've never encountered any SecureLine pop-ups with avast Free on a custom install, or are you referring to the bog-standard avast install option?

Jup, most Avast installations I've seen were the standard ones full of their crap, the custom installations are fine.

That's nice. But I'm not going to trust it.
I only trust log-less or minimal-log VPN providers.
And whenever I've used HMA it literally told the site my real IP upon the sites request (as in request to see my real IP and not their proxies), I was behind a proxy that was SNITCHING on me for using a proxy. Ridiculous.

If they only made the VPN with no logs I would use it, but with the logs most users don't bother.
