Hello Nick,
I understand the experience with AVG Secure VPN not working. I will certainly assist you with that. Please open the run command (Press Windows key + R key ) and type "services.msc". Start/ restart the AVG Secure VPN service and restart the computer to check the issue.
If the issue persists, please take a screenshot [http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-create-a-screenshot] of AVG secure VPN loading page to assist further.
My VPN asked me to update to a new update, which I did, it stopped working, so because I need to access a country specific website, as a temp measure I downloaded the 30 trial, this also has decided that it will not work. What do I do???
