avg secure vpn stopped working secureline error

On 12-March-2025, I contacted the customer support via a ticket and spoke to an agent on chat.
Here is the response from them -
Due to legal regulations, we regret to inform you that we are cancelling our VPN service in India starting from 01.01.2025. That means users will no longer be able to access our VPN services as long as they are within the country. AVG VPN will not work inside of India. Outside of it, it will work, so please do not worry.

On further asking, what could be the reason as other VPNs like SurfShark are working - I was told that they do not know the full extent of the reason.
But seems like the government has implemented new rules for VPN usage and AVG has decided to discontinue their VPN support for India going forward.
