With Big Sur, Apple has discontinued kernel extensions, so we had to switch to this new technology. This functionality was ported and expanded to MacOS in Catalina, although in an immature state. This framework was AFAIK originally used on MacOS only to implement VPN, however on iOS it has also already contained the network traffic interception. With Catalina, Apple has introduced Network Extension framework ( ) for intercepting network traffic (which our Web Shield and Mail Shield need to do) instead of the old way (via Kernel Extension). Avast just creates a new (repeating) line.Īvast Antivirus does not configure any VPN. I tried Disconnecting, I also tried deleting the line from the left pane. What is this "Avaast Security" in Network panel? What does it do and is it safe? Is it tracking and scanning the data that goes through my Mac? The "Avast Security" line has the following information:
It's on the same spot where "USB 10/100/1000 LAN", "Wi-Fi", "Bluetooth PAN", "Thunderbolt" are. I now noticed that in my System Preferences > Network pane I see a new entry called "Avast Security". If I recall, it's similar to what another poster saw:

I had to update Avast and I was asked to setup proxy configuration. After the upgrade Avast (free version) stopped working.
