AVG VPN causes "no internet access" when I turn it on

Hi Veeramani,

I have tried a different location, but that didn't work.  I am using Windows 10.  I do have AVG Internet Security installed.  How do I disable Internet Security?

Every time that I turn VPN on, it changes my internet to "no internet access".  Is there anything that I can do to remedy this?  I already uninstalled and reinstalled VPN and it didn't help.
