AVG Secure Browser/ VPN

I just purchased and upgraded my AVG Browser to AVG Secure Browser with the understanding that a VPN is included. Now, I have received a message saying, " Your free trial of VPN will expire today. Do you wish to purchase"? AND, it was for $100.95 a year, which I feel is overpriced at this point. I thought when I purchased the Secure Browser package, the VPN was included. Why would I be receiving messages about additional purchases, if the product is included. I have used AVG for many years now. I alsao had your Techs help 2x this week. Am I not understanding something? Thank you.
