We analyzed several user cases and deduced that this issue occurs due to several different reasons. Since Avast is notorious for troublesome applications, it is not a surprise that its VPN application is unstable as well. In this article, we will go through all the possible causes as to why this issue occurs along with the solutions to fix them. In some cases, the connection could not be established with the prompt “ Sorry, it is not possible to establish a connection” or there is somewhere the client refuses to connect at all. Avast VPN not Workingĭespite being one of the most used VPN systems, there are still some instances where Avast VPN fails to work. This is part of the larger Avast suite which contains other applications as well, like the Antivirus software. This application is available on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS operating systems. Typing "Local Service" (might need to browse and verify the Local Service) then use your win7 log on password and confirming it, then applying should hopefully correct that and allow it to be restarted.Avast VPN (or SecureLine VPN) is a subscription-based virtual private network system.

Don't make the mistake I did where I started investigating the DHCP Client (yellow triangle for tray icon appeared after already having internet the night before) in Services and accidentally made matters worse by unticking the "This Account" password I'd never seen before, preventing the thing from restarting (sighs) all because some left over driver didn't get removed!! For the record, if you did that and somehow find this, select DHCP in services from task manager, then select "Services" button in lower right right-click DHCP Client in new window, select properties, Log On if "This account" was changed to "Local System account" by accident, it won't allow the DHCP to be restarted, and the password part threw me as I'd never entered one before.

If you uninstall it and get a hung "Welcome" screen all of a sudden, go into safe mode: run box ->msconfig, prevent comodo remnants from starting at start up, reboot remove any Comodo drivers still attached and re-enable windows firewall and reboot. My humble advice is drop comodo if you have it. My guess at this point is THAT choice might have been impeding Secureline from being reliable with comodo, though it's only a guess.
#AVAST SECURELINE VPN CANNOT CONNECT INSTALL#
After about a 10 minute whitewash session of adding everything avast including the openvpn.exe and saving, Secureline connected right away and thus far seems to be holding a connection.ĭuring the numerous failed reinstall attempts of Comodo, the installer has the option to switch to "secure comodo DNS settings", which I didn't remember from 2 years ago, which was the last fresh win7 install I've done. They lost a customer after nearly 10 years for that garbage.Īnyhow, I gave up on Comodo and tried TinyWall instead.

And even offline (plug pulled) it wouldn't allow earlier versions (that worked before) to be installed as it still managed to detect the failed update as being successfully "running and installed" thus unable to modify. Even more annoying is it left drivers in place, which blocked windows built-in firewall from interacting with the modem despite the fact everything was removed. Comodo tried updating itself during a windows update which failed halfway through, and caused an infinite loading situation at the Win 7 Welcome screen which took forever to correct as it wouldn't allow itself to be repaired, and it's comparable to a worm in the fact it leaves traces of itself EVERYWHERE after "uninstalling", which blocks a fresh reinstall despite removing all registry and file locations (that I could find with autoruns and cccleaner after uninstalling via control panel).
