The good news is that only 1 out of a hundred or two hundred seem to add
those Avast header lines and signature.

Since the Avast header bothers me (because I like to control the header)
and since the Avast signature bothers others (because it just does), I
strive to remove them from the list of six thousand free vpn servers I
currently have.

However a new one can pop up tomorrow since I wget a few hundred a day.
