I bought "AVG Internet Security" which does not apparently have VPN protection. Do I need both or does what I have protect me?

Hello Kenneth, 
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support.
We understand that you want to protect your device. 
We are really sorry to know this. We'll certainly check and help you out.
AVG Internet Security is an application that helps protect your devices from viruses, malware, phishing, and other threats.
AVG Secure VPN is an application that allows you to connect to the internet via secure AVG VPN servers using an encrypted tunnel to protect your online activity from eavesdropping. 
Both aplications have different features. It is not mandatory, but recommended to have AVG Secure VPN in your device. 
AVG Secure VPN and AVG TuneUp appear in the AVG Internet Security app but require separate, paid subscriptions.
Refer the following articles to know more about both subscriptions:

AVG Internet Security and AVG AntiVirus - FAQs (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=AVG-Antivirus-FAQ&supportType=home)
If you would like to purchase the AVG Secure VPN, you can do the same via AVG Official Website or by contacting our AVG billing & sales team using this link: https://support.avg.com/avg/en/ww/home/current/contact and they will check and help you with this.
After clicking the above link, select Account and Billing -> Purchase and Renewal help -> Get Support -> Voice call or Chat.
Thank you and keep us updated.
