Hello, I have been using Nord VPN for several years without any problems. About 10 days ago I bought a three-year subscription to AVG antivirus software including AVG VPN. My problem is that since I installed the AVG software my NordVPN is blocked by AVG. The problem is that AVG VPN does not include in the available servers the country of Greece. However, NordVPN does include Greece. Please help me overcome the above problem by either:
1. Fix AVG to allow NordVPN to run without problem or
2. Add a Greek server option in AVG VPN
