Have to switch it on and can't access Mozilla Thunderbird email

1  AVG doesn't switch on automatically each time computer is switched on - have to do it manually.
2  Can't use Mozilla Thunderbird email with AVG VPN switched on.

Hello Eric, 

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. We will help you to resolve it.

Please follow the steps below to enable VPN automatically during the PC restart. 

Open AVG Secure VPN and go to ☰ Menu ▸ Settings.

Ensure the Network Security tab is selected in the left panel, then tick the box next to Automatically when connected to the Internet.

By default, AVG Secure VPN does not automatically connect when you are using a trusted private network.

To ensure AVG Secure VPN connects automatically every time you use the internet, untick the box next to Exclude Trusted (private) networks.
