VPN slows access to websires

AVG VPN
1

When VPN is switched on, the performance of ny web assess is much slower. It seems to take several seconds to resolve a host. I have had to switch it off to retain speed.  Is this a common fault with VPN or is it the poor performance of AVG VPN?

Hi Ivor,

The slowness with internet speed with VPN turned on is an expected behavior.
This is because VPN encrypts traffic and data before sending it to a server.
Depending on the distance and capacity of the server, this process may cause a slightly slower, but safer, internet connection.
You can change the location in AVG Secure VPN and check whether you could see a change in internet speed.
