Avast launches free, unlimited VPN service in France

Avast has introduced a free VPN service in France that features no advertisements and allows for an unlimited number of connected devices per account. The service utilizes the WireGuard protocol and includes security features such as a kill switch and DNS leak protection.

While marketed as unlimited, some documentation suggests a potential data cap of 500 GB per month. Users of the free version are limited to three server locations, whereas the paid version offers over 140 locations across 103 countries. Speed may also be lower for free users.

To address previous privacy concerns and a $16.5 million fine regarding its former subsidiary Jumpshot, Avast claims a strict no-logs policy for this VPN. An independent audit of this policy is scheduled to be conducted by VerSprite in November 2026.
