Hello Keith,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support.
We are glad to clarify this to you.
The WireGuard VPN protocol was introduced to the AVG Secure VPN in it's last update (released on July 22, 2022).
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) protects the data you upload and download by functioning as a private tunnel through the internet. It effectively anonymizes/masks your internet activity (WiFi network) and secures your connection. While your AVG Secure VPN (with WireGuard protocol) is enabled, your internet network will be masked as "AVG VPN WireGuard".
We'd like to assure you that your online security will not be compromised because of this. For further information about AVG Secure VPN, please refer to this article: https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=avg-secure-vpn-faq
Let us know if you have further queries.
Thank you.
