Losing Australian media

Hello Vincent,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support.
We are sorry to hear this. We'll certainly check and help you out.
We'd like to clarify that some of the government, banking, and streaming websites might block their access with VPN due to privacy and security reasons of the website. 
Hence change the location of the VPN to a different location using the below steps and check the issue, you can bypass geolocation restrictions as well as access your favorite content.

  • Click Change location on the main application screen.
  • Optionally, use the side menu to view all of the servers in a specific continent, servers that are optimized for streaming, or servers that are optimized for torrenting.
  • Select a country and city.
  • AVG Secure VPN automatically connects to the location you selected.
Let us know if you face any difficulties and we'll help you.
Thank you.

Hello.  I used to be able to watch Australian television programs by selecting Perth, Australia from the locations, but tonight I can't.

I had a similar problem with Melbourne, Australia a few months ago, but Perth worked.

How can I restore access to Australian television, please?

Australia only has two locations, Melbourne and Perth, and since this year Melbourne will not let me see Australian TV, and from today that is also the case with Perth.

How do I identify which servers are optimised for streaming or torrenting?

So I have…
- clicked the location
- selected country and city for all cities in Australia
- connected AVG Secure VPN
… but the issue still remains.

Please help me in being able to access Australian TV. 

I am facing difficulties.

Thank you.
