Hello ER,

Here is what happens when the VPN is on. It doesn't happen right away, it seems to switch over after a while. I went to the web address line and googled "Small white christmas tree"

Thank you for waiting, E R.
It's how AVG Secure VPN works, refer the following article: https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=AVG-Secure-VPN-FAQ&supportType=home and check out the last point under "Why do certain websites claim that I'm connected to a different city than the city I selected as my VPN location?"
"In certain locations, we rent dedicated servers to ensure AVG Secure VPN and the IP geolocation databases are updated by the server provider on AVG's behalf. Because AVG is a Czech company, these providers may indicate the location as Czech Republic. When this occurs, we work with the providers to update the information with the correct locations of our servers."
Whenever I turn on my VPN, Google.com and all Google subsidiaries change to Google.cl, including things like Youtube.cl. I turn it off, refresh and it goes back to Google.com. I'm not using a different country when I turn on my VPN, I've used NY, Miami, Chicago, and they all change to .cl when I turn the VPN on. Scanned for malware and viruses, I seem to be clean.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you for the screenshots.
It appears as .cz. We will check this with our senior team and get back to you.
Your patience is much appreciated.
Thank you for waiting, E R.
