I too have slow performance with AVG VPN. Without AVG VPN, I get about 580/24 mbps internet speed. When I turn on AVG VPN and select either near or far cities (one 60 miles away), I get only 110/18. And web pages take a long time to load. Email is slow to load.
I followed the website about installing/uninstalling/installing anti-track and no difference. This is W10 i7 wired to the router. Can't live with this problem
I tried it also on a W10 i7 notebook and one with W11. All slow down like the above.
Hello Steve,
We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
We are glad to look into this and clarify you.
You may experience a slower internet connection when using AVG Secure VPN. This is because 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.
Please click 'Change location', connect to different server locations and check if the issue persists.
Thank you.
When I try the server 60 miles away, thats when I get the results above, at best about 100mbps, but with long delays in site connections.
Tried 3 other servers, but all are farther away. Best was 40mbps, worst 12mbps.
I am starting with nearly 600mbps and although encrytion is worthwhile, a 80% plus drop in connectivity and slow web pages is just not acceptable.

As you are facing issue with Internet speed when AVG Secure VPN is ON, we request you to change all available server location and check for the status. Thank you for the understanding.
