I'm deeply frustrated with AVG's VPN

it keeps ‘clogging’ especially on youtube. to where I have to turn it off, and back on to actually get videos to load/play. also most social media doesn’t fully load when it’s turned on. and that’s if it even deigns to work in the first place. it disconnects at random not loading at all.

Hello,

Not a computer virus or malware related issue. Maybe try asking in r/VPN?

Why are you utilizing AVG VPN when there are superior alternatives such as Nord VPN or other top-tier VPN services?

He is using the free vpn version avg collects your data

Avg vpn what u have to do is just buy airvpn or mullvad

Just don’t use free VPN

financial concerns largely. I don’t have a credit card to buy a nord subscription.

ahh, I needs to get unmoneyn’t first.

once I can get a credit card again I am upgrading.

Correct only paid ones u can’t crack a vpn if you think so

Well, why do you use a VPN anyway? For normal browsing I don’t think you need them

I taught over seas for a year, so it was originally to polevault over the “Great Firewall”, otherwise to watch TV shows that are location locked for stupid reasons.

Edit: corrected term.

Wait are you from mainland China?

nope, Canadaland, but taught in Hong Kong.

I see… Hmm, then try windscribe perhaps? It’s also free and I’m sure it has a location on Canada as well.

I’ll do some googling, thanks :slight_smile: mostly this post was just me to kvetch, it’s nice getting some actual advice.
