AVG VPN for Android

Hello, I am not able to switch on the VPN on my Android cellphone. I have paid the licence, I have tried to switch on and to switch of the "Automatic connection", but the button "OK" at the final screen does not react active is only the button "CANCEL" ("ZRUŠIT" in Czech). I have also switched all authorisations and permissions in my cellphone settings. I attache a screenshot of the problematic screen. Thank you for any help.

Hi Ranjani,

   Meanwhile, I have already solved it. I was just an idiot. It was enough to restart the device. But but thank you for your answer. I was not able to add a comment to my request before somebody reacted. 

   Best regards,

   Richard
