Hello Dianne,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support.
Wed like to clarify this to you.
AVG Secure VPN is an application that allows you to connect to the internet via secure AVG VPN servers using an encrypted tunnel to protect your online activity from eavesdropping. AVG Secure VPN can be used any time you want to connect to the internet with extra security and privacy. This is especially recommended when you are connected to a public or unsecured wireless network. (It basically hides your real location and that's the whole purpose of a VPN)
If you prefer to change your location, kindly use the below step and do so.
> Open AVG Secure VPN, then click Change location on the main application screen.

Thank you for understanding.
AVG has me located in Chicago. I am not in Chicago. How do I set my real location?
