I have been with AVG for years now and have been happy with their products. Lately their VPN has been placing my location in Italy rather than the USA. This would be a good thing normally, but I’m having to disable the VPN when I want to conduct financial transactions. I’ve already contacted customer support and was told this is a Google problem. I am looking at having to not renew my subscription when that time comes. This is occurring on my iPhone, iPad and Windows PC.Update: AVG reached out to me and offered a suggestion to updating my location settings. That suggestion seems to be working on all of the above mentioned devices. Thank you for reaching out! I will continue to use AVG for the foreseeable (and hopefully long term) future!

I really like all inclusive AVG and have subscribed for a second year. However when opening this app, it’s asking me for payment when I own it already. When I use just the security app with the vpn in it, all is fine. Do I really need this particular app on my phone? I also notice my phone and camera acting glitchy since renewing, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. Things such as weird stuff going on when editing photos and other non camera related aspects. Also received a strange email from google stating that changing my vpn country has changed my rights. Huh? Excuse me?? There goes google tracking us again. Enough is enough! Has to stop. It’s my privacy not google’s or the government’s right to sell my private data and making beaucoup bucks at the expense of my safety and information. It’s our information and if anyone should make money on our data, it’s us, the citizens, not alpha corporations! All countries should have the option of “opting in”, not “opting out” of data theft. It shouldn’t even be an option and if AVG is allowing google, Apple, etc. the permission to do this or vice versa, then I’ll cancel straight away. Time to take our privacy rights back.

We have had AVG anti virus on our laptops for years . We have grown to trust AVG.I was very happy to find that they developed a VPN for the iPhone ! I had problems with the VPN not staying on consistently. I received a very prompt response from the support, at their prompting reinstalled it from the App Store , pushed the little wheel and turned WiFi and cellular with the green dot to the right( which is “on”) . My AVN has been on consistently for 24 hours so far : fixed . I’m glad to have this, as I travel internationally and need to go on all WiFi , even at airports . I pay annually and see that I have the discount : Nice!

I’ve used this VPN (though used is an overstatement) for over a year. It is the slowest VPN I have ever used to the point I have to turn it off to avoid multi-minute loading times on normal website pages. It often turns itself off without my knowledge so it’s efficacy is lacking. I’ve reinstalled it and tried other server locations to no avail. It also has one of the longest connection times I have ever seen on some days.UPDATE: Regarding the developer response, I am aware of how VPN’s work. I have also used NordVPN and PIA, the difference in the speed at which a site loads was negligible with those services. They also didn’t randomly deactivate themselves without even a notification. I do use the optimal server location as recommended by the app. I will, however, try using it again to see if any of the aforementioned issues have been resolved.
