You can configure AVG Secure VPN to turn on or off automatically when your device connects to an untrusted or unsecured Wi-Fi network, such as in a cafe or airport. 
To disable auto-connect in AVG Secure VPN:
-Open AVG Secure VPN and go to ☰ Menu ▸ Settings.
-Select Network Security in the left panel.
