AVG Secure VPN - downsides

Hello Phil,

I understand your concern in using AVG Secure VPN application.
Please be informed that the VPN application will actually hide or mask your IP address which in-turn prevents hackers from accessing your PC or network.
The functionality in accessing your websites will be the same and it also depends on the "Location" that you choose on AVG Secure VPN.
You may experience a slower internet connection when using AVG Secure VPN. A 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.

What are the downsides of using AVG or any VPN service - can I still connect to the sites/servers I frequently use without extra steps? Does it make it harder to use sites - like amazon, gmail and chrome that have my browsing history and preferences?
 

Thanks for the response - I loaded the free trial and immediately had trouble logging into my DISH TV account - once I turn the VPN off I was able to log in - this is what I was concerned about - I don't have time to turn AVG VPN off everytime I visit a website I usually can quickly log into so it look like VPN won't work for me.
