Slow Internet with VPN

Hi Donald.
We regret the inconvenience caused. 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.

Please click 'Change location', connect to different server locations and check if the issue persists.

Internet connection is markedly slower when using the AVG VPN.  Just tested with and without – download speed 53.8 Mbps when using the VPN, 252.5 Mbps when it is turned off.  Other times it has been 10 times faster when not using the VPN.  

Any way to speed it up when using the VPN?
