      Don't know what is Avast warning if your outside IP is from the VPN.
      Can you upload an Avast warning image?

      You can also try with a VPN extension and check what happens.

        OK, next time this message pops up I'll take a screen shot.
        As to a VPN extension, I was trying to set up a ZPN account but they want to set me up with a server in France, which I don't want.

          There are some free Locations.

          Look at the settings or on the Website to choose another.

            I'm assuming you're talking about free ZPN locations. Selecting another location is not allowed with the free setup. Before I spend money on that I want to test it to find out if I run into the same issues that I have with the Opera VPN.

                  I have installed that ZPN connect exe and it shows only the left panel of your image (France location). The right panel with the server locations does not show.

                    @esebm Avast is a third party software and the VPN works only in Opera for http(s) connections.

                      @esebm if ya don't mind me ask 'n what version of win 10 you have.. (1511, 1603, 1607, 1703, 1709, or 1803)..

                      the reason am ssk 'n has nothin to do with your problem.. but may save you from Destruction later..

                      it involves updating to a newwer version of win 10 & Avast breaks it..

                      when ya got time please read.. its called - The latest update debacle: Windows 10 1803 upgrade and Avast Antivirus break everything..

                      found here

                        I'm on version 1803 and have been for several weeks, no problem with avast before.
                        I'm perfectly willing to uninstall Avast if the Win defender protects my PC adequately.
                        I'm aware that Opera VPN works only in Opera, that's the reason I was looking into this ZPN app.
                        Thanks for all your input.

                              Thanks for the help!
                              I'll check things tomorrow morning and report back.

                                When I started my PC this morning, ZPN was connected.
                                Is there any way to verify that it's working? I'm asking because on Huffpost I see ads referring to my hometown and when I check my IP address it shows it too. Looks not right to me.

                                  I use the link provided and it shows the ZPN Ip.

                                  ZPN starts at the OS start - if you like - and when connected the Shield icon turns green.

                                  Is that the case?

                                  You can check also, at "Network" and Proxy settings, sometimes, on my side, Vpn's left the settings enabled on Windows and causes problems.

                                    Which link are you talking about?
                                    The shield icon in the task bar is blue.

                                      You may need to ask on Avast Forums or look at rules to skip Opera monitoring when on VPN.

                                      Look at the website for the API settings warning message in case it doesn't connect.

                                        Take this in count also.
                                        uBlock has an option to do it as well.

                                        Forgot to mention that I have them enabled.

                                          That icon is orange.
                                          The iplocation.net shows my home town.
                                          Looks like ZPN is not working at all.
