How does a VPN work?

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates a secure tunnel between your computer and a server in a country of your choice. All data that you receive or send (eg e-mails, chats, passwords, bank data, visited web pages) pass through this tunnel and can not be viewed or tracked by others (hackers, trackers, internet service providers). In addition, a VPN changes your IP address, allowing you to reach websites and content that would otherwise be blocked for your area.

Frequently Asked Questions


Is Avira tracking my activities?

Avira do not record information about your online activities and do not know which pages you visit or what else you do on the web.

Avira measure your data consumption and collect diagnostic data (eg about errors). The latter is optional and can be deactivated by you.

Can governments force us to reveal data?

Avira have the following policy: Avira can not share what they do not know.

Avira must comply with laws of countries in which they operate. Therefore, they do not store any sensitive data that they would have to give out when prompted.

Why does Avira measure my data consumption?

So that they can calculate their costs.

Imagine a water pipe: Avira provide you with the infrastructure (= the line, or the VPN tunnel) and you decide how to use them (streaming, shopping, games). Avira know how much volume you use, but not how you use that volume.

How secure is the encryption?

Avira uses the 256 Advanced Encryption standard (AES-256).

The number 256 refers to the key length - the higher the number, the more possible number combinations there are. To crack 256-bit encryption, billions of PCs would have to be billions of years worth of computing.

Quid Pro Quo Won the DOTA 2 Asia Pacific Predator League 2018 - Philippine Leg

Quid Pro Quo Won the DOTA 2 Asia Pacific Predator League 2018 - Philippine Leg

Asia Pacific Predator League 2018, Predator Gaming’s brand new DOTA 2 league and the most anticipated eSports competition, recently concluded its Philippine Leg at the High Grounds Café. Quid Pro Quo takes home PHP 50,000.00 and will be flying to Indonesia to represent the Philippines in the finals.

Setting the mood for an intense competition, the High Grounds Café (Tomas Morato, Quezon City) was adorned with black stone boulders, crystals, snow, and grass to create an ice dungeon representative of Predator Gaming’s frost-forged vibe. This set-up served as the backdrop for the Philippine finals, putting a dramatic end to the national leg.

Following around 6 hours of DOTA 2 action, Quid Pro Quo emerged as the victor of the Philippine finals, besting Alpha Gaming on the 3rd round. Prior to succeeding in the national finals, Quid Pro Quo had previously competed and won in the North Luzon leg of the competition.

Quid Pro Quo takes home PHP 50,000.00 from the PHP 220,000.00 Philippine eliminations prize pool; Alpha Gaming takes home PHP 30,000.00; and Viggo.Net and NCGC.Davao take home PHP 10,000.00 each. Quid Pro Quo will be moving on to compete in the final round to be held in Indonesia. Vying for the $150,000.00 (approximately 7.5M Pesos) prize pool, Quid Pro Quo will be competing against the national winners of 6 other countries in Asia Pacific, namely Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Hong Kong, and Indonesia.

Predator Gaming established Predator League as a means to empower amateur gamers to showcase their skills and talent on a global scene. Endeavoring to discover and put the spotlight on both professional and non-professional gamers, Predator League aims to capture fresh talent from the Philippines and the Pan Asia Pacific region’s bustling amateur eSports scene, particularly for DOTA 2.

"The Philippine leg of Asia Pacific Predator League 2018 has come to a momentous end, and we could not be any happier with the level of skill and sportsmanship we have witnessed here in the Philippines," shares Andrew Hou, President of Predator Gaming Pan Asia Pacific Region. "Still, we see potential for tremendous growth. We are excited to unearth what we know for sure are incredible gaming talents in the Philippines. More than that, we are hopeful that we will be able to recruit more people to summon their strength and to discover the wonderful world of Predator Gaming."

In the Philippines, the Predator League 2018 eliminations saw the participation of 127 registered teams. All elimination legs were done in partnership with THENET.COM (TNC), the gaming company’s eSports partner. Predator League also supports the Philippine DotA pride, TNC Pro Team-DotA 2.

"The astounding reception we have enjoyed in this year’s competition has confirmed that the eSports scene in the country is booming," shares Eric Redulfin, General Manager of TNC. "The gaming community can rest assured that TNC and Predator will continue to work towards elevating gaming in the Philippines."
