The Avast SecureLine VPN is an application that provides a subscription based virtual private network (VPN) service developed by Avast. ' I think what was meant is that Secureline is a VPN service not that it provides'' one. OTOH, Avast provides the service'''  It is available on Android, Microsoft Windows, macOS and iOS.

'''A lot of the remaining content repeats itself 2 or 3 times. The proposed replacement below is effectively the same content as the original article with the same citations, just summarized in two short paragraphs without repetition.'''  SecureLine VPN encrypts the user's internet traffic and redirects the traffic through a tunnel via Avast data centers. This changes the geolocation of the IP address of the user to that of the selected VPN server and makes the user appear to be in a different location.

It also anonymizes the user's online activity, protects users from hacking, can avoid some forms of surveillance, and allows unrestricted access to the Internet. Additionally, a VPN prevents a user's detailed browsing data and history from being collected and sold by ISPs or other entities that may otherwise have access to them. The VPN can be set to automatically turn on when the user connects to a public Wi-Fi. 

SecureLine VPN 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 VPN users' both outgoing and incoming internet traffic is encrypted and redirected through a tunnel via Avast data centers. This changes the geolocation of the IP address of the user to that of the selected VPN server. 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. Additionally, a VPN prevents a 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. '''Per WP:NOPRICE, which forbids listing our pricing information, unless there is substantial critical analysis of it. '''
