Hi Christopher,
The slowness with internet speed with VPN turned on is an expected behavior.
This is because 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.
You can change the location in AVG Secure VPN and check whether you could see a change in internet speed.

When I have the VPN turned ON, my Windows 10 laptop is very slow and takes a long time to load browser pages. Also some web pages fail to load first time and I get a message saying " Network change detected" - I have to refresh the page to make it load properly.
Is this normal or is there some setting I need to change?
