Why turn on VPN without user activation?!

Are you kidding me?

AVG at times turns VPN on with my account without asking me - this is unacceptable.

Don't do it!!!

NOW you're talking! 
My problem may be resolved, but yours (AVG's) remains. 
Why would you have auto-connect as the default? 
Shouldn't customers have the option to turn it on, rather than the necessity to turn it off?
Also, this happens repeatedly AFTER I turn VPN off. 
But thanks for what I hope to be the solution.

Hello Janos, 

We understand your concern. But, most of our users wish to keep AVG SecureVPN to auto-connect in order to secure their devices. That is the reason why it set to default. If you do not need to connect automatically, you can turn it off by following above steps. If you need any further help, feel free to contact us at anytime. Thanks.

Hello Janos, 

We are sorry if you feel this way. We understand that you only want to turn on AVG Secure VPN manually. Refer the below steps to disable auto-connect option in AVG Secure VPN :

  • Open AVG Secure VPN and go to ☰ Menu ▸ Settings.
  • Select Network Security in the left panel.
  • Untick the box next to Automatically when connected to the internet.
AVG Secure VPN no longer turns on automatically when your PC connects to a public network. If you still have any issues, please do let us know. Thanks.
