Activating VPN slows down internet speed

AVG VPN

Hi Ann,

I am sorry, you have speed issues when AVG Secure VPN is enabled.

Choose optimal location from the server list and test your speed connection again. If you have already selected optimal location, try a different server and monitor the speed.

You may sometimes experience a slower internet connection when using Secure VPN. This is because VPN encrypts traffic and data before sending it to a server. Depending on the distance and capacity of the server, this process may cause a slightly slower, but safer, internet connection.

Speed test before activating VPN: 400Mbps download speed
Speed test after activating VPN: 1 Mbps download speed!

Any idea what's going on?
