VPN error message - second message

Hello Derek,

Please follow the thread below. Derek Ramalho
Thank you for the suggested solutions. I have tried everyone of these suggestions and I still am getting the same error message.

  • I have internet without the VPN
  • I have tried different locations same error message
  • I have no other VPN service
  • I have restarted many times, same issue.
  • VPN is activated.


What is particularly upsetting is I am a teacher and have access to a particular resource in Canada and but use the VPN as if I am in Canada to access the resource. 

I believe and obviously I could be wrong that perhaps I am not able to connect because my current IP address is in Egypt. What that be an issue?? 

Concerned,
Derek Ramalho

Original question:
I had purchased the VPN on Dec. 26th. I have visited three different countries and the VPN worked perfectly. Now that I am home I cannot get the VPN to work last two days. I am getting "connection Error" and this statement follows: "Sorry, it is not possible to establish a connection". 

How do I fix this issue so I can stream and correspond with confidence.

Thank you,

Hi Derek, 

We shall work together to fix the issue. 

Please follow the below steps to resolve the issue:
- Disconnect AVG Secure VPN and try to browse the web. If you still cannot connect to the internet, check your network configuration. 
- Select a different AVG Secure VPN location.
- Disconnect other VPN services that may be running on your PC. If you are connected to another VPN, AVG Secure VPN likely won't work properly.
- Restart your PC and try to connect to AVG Secure VPN again.
- Check whether your subscription is activated successfully ( Open AVG Secure VPN screen, click My AVG ▸ My Subscription to verify it). 
- If the issue persists, refer this article and follow the steps as mentioned. 

Keep us informed here.
