iam trying to block the Avira Phantom VPN using utm but it keep getting connected, also on utm log i found that
avira-vpn.com usage is 85 GB, so i try block using domain but not work, using app filter this name not appear in the list, need your suggestion to block the vpn.
I noted that Avira is only listed in Application Control as a File Transfer tool. Apparently Sophos has never profiled their VPN tool, which means that you will have to profile it and create your own rules. Since Sophos does not block the VPN program successfully, one has to wonder if the usage metric can be trusted, or if it represents something else.
It is probably appropriate to block both the DNS lookup and the IP addresses to which it is known to resolve. The DNS list may change in the future, but at least you have created obstacles for someone trying to workaround your DNS blocks.

How we test and rate VPNsWe complete standardized hands-on tests for each VPN we review so we can put their claims to the test. This includes vigorous third-party testing by comparing our internet speed while connected to different servers, checking for DNS leaks, making sure the kill switch actually works, and more. We also make sure we can comfortably access popular streaming sites, like Netflix, and still do our day-to-day work without interruption.
We wish Avira offered extra features, though, like split tunneling and dedicated IP addresses. Even though we felt Avira Phantom VPN is easy to use and gets the job done, its features are lackluster.
Having many VPN servers in different locations can improve connection speeds, give you more server options to get around geo-restrictions, and make the VPN more reliable and easy to use.
Avira states that its Phantom VPN has 1,400 servers in 37 countries. If you opt for the free plan, it only allows you to connect to the nearest location.
A no-logs policy is important for anyone who values their privacy. It makes sure that third parties, such as your internet service provider (ISP), the police, or the government can't find out about your online activities or personal information.
However, we found an FAQ about what customer data Avira stores when using Phantom VPN. It claims it doesn't store or log any customer data, only data for connection setup and diagnostic data. This can be turned off in the settings, but we weren't happy about it being automatically turned on.
With the Pro version of Avira Phantom, you can use the kill switch. It can be enabled to make sure your online traffic stops and remains encrypted if your VPN connection drops for any reason or length of time. This helps ensure no data is leaked and that your IP address remains hidden.
A kill switch is important for protecting your privacy from cybercriminals who may try to sniff and intercept your data, such as passwords or banking information for nefarious purposes. They can violate your privacy by using this information to access your accounts and pay for things online without your permission.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 is a symmetric encryption algorithm that uses a 256-bit key to secure your VPN traffic and data with end-to-end encryption. The higher the number, the more combinations of digits, which protects against brute-force attacks and provides higher levels of security.
People often use OpenVPN and IPsec as VPN protocols to secure connections over the internet and prevent malicious actors from snooping on their internet traffic. Today, there are more modern and arguably more secure tunneling protocols such as WireGuard and IPsec/IKeV2.
We ran a series of tests to assess whether Avira Phantom VPN met our expectations for online privacy and security. We evaluated its speed, ability to stream Netflix in various regions, as well as its leak protection capabilities.
After testing, we found that Avira performed decently with the servers from the U.S. and Canada. It only dropped our speeds by less than 10% with the U.S. server and less than 20% with the Canadian server.
Avira Phantom VPN successfully passed our DNS leak test. DNS stands for Domain Name System, which is a crucial part of networking that translates domain names into IP addresses. It works like a giant address book that directs internet traffic to the correct destination and associates domain names (such as
avira.com) with their corresponding IP addresses (such as 122.0.5.21).
WebRTC stands for Web Real-Time Communication, which is a free and open-source project that allows web browsers and mobile applications to conduct real-time communication (RTC) via simple APIs. WebRTC enables features such as voice and video calls, file transfers, and screen sharing without the need for browser plug-ins or other additional software.
Do we think Avira Phantom VPN is worth it? Honestly, we think you can save your money for a better VPN that has better features for the same price, if not less. Give our alternatives another look to find one that's right for you.
I'm looking for a way to block applications based on the "Hostname", but the "Hostname" has a space in it. For example, there is a Just Proxy VPN that is getting through our firewall. If I filter the Application Control log, the Application is SSL_TLSv1.2, and in the details, the Hostname is "Just Proxy VPN" and the URL is "/", and the Category is Network.Service. It uses different IP addresses and ports, so I can't block using those.
I can't block all of SSL_TLSv1.2, but I want to block any application using hostname= "Just Proxy VPN". I can filter for it in the logs, but I can't seem to setup a block for it. Is there a way to create an Application using this information to then block it?
This is one way to block VPNs that use SSLVPN with their self-signed certificates. We try to cover as completely as we can the VPNs that can be downloaded and used to bypass our signatures. One case that is not as easy to cover is VPNs that use self-signed certificates. The reason is there are infinite possibilities when it comes to a self-signed certificate - certificate generators can create a certificate with completely random values within the constraints of the framework of a SSL Certificate.
I added that one and a couple more that were getting through - I mistakenly thought that because I set the app_cat to 6 ("Proxy") which is already a blocked category that would be enough. But I had to explicitly add that custom signature to my Application policy...and then the "Application" changed from "SSL_TLSv1.2" & pass to "JustProxy.VPN.Custom" and "block".
I did that for
api.phantom.avira-vpn.com which was also showing up as "HTTPS.BROWSER", and YogaVPN...I know it's a losing battle in the end since there are so many, but the more I can knock down here the more we can concentrate on using our internet for actual educational use instead.
Yes, you have to add custom signatures explicitly even though it has the app_cat set to 6. We received your email and have replied to you about Avira and JustProxy. With regards to YogaVPN, we are in the process of adding a signature for it. We have a signature for it but it has some False Positive risk and therefore we have not release it out. We are still working on it. If you would like a signature for it now, here's the custom signature:
This worked for a while...but then it seemed to break my HA so I removed them. I switched from Active-Active to Active-Passive until I can get upgraded to 5.6 to see if that helps my HA (waiting on Fortianalyzer 5.6 firmware).
