Oğuz HAN AVG Secure VPN for "my license number is gone"
256/5000
Dear Sir / Madam,
These days I had a connection problem for AVG Secure VPN. I uninstalled and reinstalled my program. But I think my license has been canceled. My subscriber has only 9 months left. Would you mail my license number again?
Yours truly,
Oğuz HAN

Best Answer chosen by Oğuz HANRanjani Bakthavachalam (Avast)Hello Oğuz,
We see that you have purchased AVG Secure VPN on 2/25/18 and it got expired on 2/25/19. We couldn't locate any active subscription under this email address.
Have you renewed it in February? Is there any chance that you have registered it under an alternate email address?

Phillip Marais VPN tells me I need to buy a licence, even though I have a licence for it.
I have bought a 1 year multi-device VPN subscription. I activated it with the licence key that was emailed to me. I also installed it on my mobile phone, and activated it with the same key, and it is activated on my wife's machine, so 3 devices in total.
Now, on my PC (the first device), it tells me that I either have to start a free trial, or buy a licence, yet on the same module under the "my subscriptions" tab, it shows that I have the VPN, that it is installed, and it shows the licence number underneath.
Please help? How do I get my VPN working again?

Best Answer chosen by Phillip MaraisRanjani Bakthavachalam (Avast)Hello Philip,
We recommend you to activate it using your email address and password instead of license number.
Open AVG Secure VPN -> My AVG -> My Subscription -> Log out and remove license (if available) -> Log in -> enter your email address and password to activate it.

ISP Email Servers are BLACKLISTING AVG VPN IP Addresses?
****WARNING*****
When sending an email from Office 365 Client on my PC to anyone I get this error,:my ISP has blacklisted the IP address my VPN (AVG Security) provides to keep away prying eyes.
ERROR: Task 'XXXXXX@bigpond.com - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC6F) : 'Your outgoing (SMTP) email server has reported an internal error. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded: 554 5.7.1 Connection refused - OB115. 5.62.22.13 is blacklisted. If you believe this to be in error, please contact postmaster@bigpond.com'
I have redacted to not show my real email address except to show the ISP responsible for the blacklist error.
How can I resolve this issue/error without being forced to shut down the AVG VPN connection?.
Best Answer chosen by Marcus CooperKarthikeyan (Avast) I'm glad to hear that your issue is resolved.
Yes, the security and protection are more complex these days and it requires advanced setup.
We appreciate your expertise in this issue.
Thank you for your time and co-operation.

Frank Smith VPN no connection
This is a new connection on Windows 10. VPN turns on then says it is reconnecting then comes up with connection error.
I notice a number of clients with same problem, it would appear that you have not nailed the problem yet.
I have tried all the suggestions on this forum, I have also done what SUPPORT AVG suggested but they are no longer responding to my emails

Best Answer chosen by Frank SmithBalasubramanian (Avast) Thank you for the information, Frank.
It seems that you have received the email from the concern team with troubleshooting steps and you have also reverted to it.
We guess you are referring to the acknowledgement email that you received as soon as you submitted the request through our online form.
For automated emails from AVG, it would appear as 'noreply email' which means you will not be able to reply to it.
You can reply to the email only when you receive it from our customer care team.
Have you performed re-installation of AVG Secure VPN program as mentioned in the email?

brian austerfield AVG Secure VPN download speed
I use AVG Secure VPN on my laptop, tablet and mobile telephone.
If I temporarily disconnect the VPN Ion any device I achieve download speeds >55 Mbps
When the VPN is active I achieve speeds < 22Mbps.
I accept that the use of the VPN will probably reduce the download speed but a reduction of 50% is surely not to be expected.
Any suggestions for remedies gratefully received

Best Answer chosen by brian austerfieldPriyanga Sekar (Avast)Thank you for the screenshot, Brian.
Using AVG Secure VPN, you may sometimes experience a slower internet connection. This is because VPN encrypts traffic and data before sending it to a server. This process may cause slower, but safer internet connection. This is the usual behavior.
From the screenshots, we haven't found a major difference in the internet Speed (28.20 Mbps and 22.66 Mbps).
Could you turn OFF AVG Secure VPN and test your net speed once? Attach the screenshot here to assist further.

Jackie Rhodes What is the new price of the renewal for the VPN?
I've just had the usual renewal email for my AVG products ie: this time it's my VPN. It says the price is $149.99c which it says maybe different to what I paid before. I want to know what I did pay before as I didn't save the invoice, though I've saved the one for my AVG Security which is over a hundred dollars for last one.
This renewal I assume is for 2yrs as the last one was? I can't find what I paid last time anywhere in my product info when I go to My Account, only the price they've quoted now, unless it's the same, but it seems very expensive! I'm free-trialling the AVG antitrack, so I'm tempted to cancel my VPN sub as there is a place there to do that. Can you tell me what the price is now of the AVG VPN or is that price quoted still the old price? Just seems too expensive even though it's for 2yrs.

Best Answer chosen by Jackie RhodesBalasubramanian (Avast) Jackie, open AVG Internet Security program interface. Click on "Menu-->About" and provide the screenshot (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=AVG-Create-screenshot&supportType=home) of it here.
You can post the screenshot here in your topic. Click on 'Answer' & then click on the 'Image' [mountain symbol] & follow the instructions.
To be sure, did you click on "scan computer" from the program interface or referring to other scans involved in the program?
