I installed the new AVG on my mac, as I read in the recent Macworld that it is worthy protection for my apple devices. I got a different VPN provider and now I see the AVG (I am trying out the full version for 60 days) is telling me DNS is leaking and it isn't safe. my VPN provider was working and not leaking DNS until AVG trial was set up. Now I would like to know where and how do I disable AVG VPN. Thank you.
Thanks for answering my question.

Sarath,
hmmm… who is aleksandra? I am Maria Hutnik.
Thank you for your reply.
I did disable the fake website shield and it worked on Mullvad. it is reporting everything is safe and nice.
now, I see I have my basic things covered on AVG and I appear to have 4 unresolved issues including the VPN.
perhaps it is best for me today to downgrade the trail to the basic level and remain there.
Then everything looks nice on AVG and Mullvad.
Thanks.
