Slow computer speeds since loading VPN

Hi Rod,

We're glad to look into this & help you.
You may experience a slower internet connection when using AVG Secure VPN. This is because a 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.
However, you can try connecting to different servers (location) available in Secure VPN to identify the server that provides better connectivity.
Alterately, you can also try using different browsers, switch to different networks (if possible) to check if it helps.

Since I installed the AVG protection including VPN, my computer response times have reduced to snails pace.  Emails and Websites open extremely slowly, very frustrating after updating my computer to improve speeds!
Is there a way to increase download speeds, or should I remove VPN to regain the speed?

Hi Dinesh,

Thanks for your response.   Are you able to tell me how to connect to a different server, I haven't been able to work out how to do this?

Thanks,
