I have NordVPN installed and it works great if I have AVG turned off. If AVG is turned on it blocks all internet traffic. I tired making exceptions for NordVPN but no luck. It allows nord to run, just blocks all internet so kinda pointless. I saw in a previous post about allowing internet connection sharing which I have enabled with no luck. I have also tried turning off fake website shield which also didnt work.

Thankyou for your response. I have added it to the trusted network and while it is active in that session this has resolved the issue however each time a nordvpn session is initiated it shows as a different network. so every time it starts up or every time I swap server locations. Is there a more permanent fix that will allow avg to recognise it as being nordvpn or do I have to open the firewall and trust it every single time?
