Hi Jeffrey.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We'll help you sort this.
We suggest you to try changing the location of your AVG Secure VPN and check if the issue still persists.
Thanks in advance.

I live in South Africa. My Telkom SMTP server only operates on port 25. But if my VPN is on, it blocks port 25, so I can't send E-mails without first switching off the VPN. This is really a big nuisance. Can my VPN be run on another port or can you suggest anything. I may have to give up AVG VPN  and look for one that won't block my E-mails. Thanks. Jeff.
