AVG Secure VPN & Proxy server Reviews

by USA36

It turns out that AVG is collecting a substantial amount of data on its users, and storing them in their servers. Email addresses, phone numbers, SIM card numbers, location data, and your I.P. address are a few examples of the account data accessed by AVG, which can identify you online.

AVG state that they also have the right to share your data with interested third parties, and this includes handing over your session logs to law enforcement if they subpoena the company.

"Hi Catherine, thanks for your feedback, could you be more specific? We cannot help or react properly, unless you give us some additional information. Thanks, Daniel*AVG Mobile Support-Team".Sadly there is no way for me to respond to this email that I got from AVG so my problem of not being able to stream anything on my iPads persists. I don’t know, maybe AVG is blocking me from responding but I do have email

Avg makes you jump through crazy hoops to speak with a customer service agent. Their one phone number gave me an operator who barely spoke English and was extremely rude. Once I told the operator I was frustrated with my service he falsely accused me of using bad language and then refused to transfer me to a supervisor even after asking him repeatedly to do so. Avg customer service game me no means of following up on this and acted like a bunch of robots. Avoid this company. It’s not what it used to be. They won’t be there for you after they take their money. I’m a life long customer who has permanently canceled my subscription.

I’ve been using this VPN because is the cheapest one and because I used to thrust in AVG as antivirus.

But after a week of using this VPN google sent me a password leak warning... about 23 of my password has been leaked because a third party app (accordingly to Google).

I’m pretty sure this leak wasn’t because I was reckless, I don’t install apps that I don’t really trust but as Google said was due a third party app and the only app I’ve installed recently was this VPN... so now I’m really concerned if was AVG VPN the responsable for this “leak of passwords”

AVGSecureVPNProxyserver said it supports Family Sharing with up to 6 family members to use AVGSecureVPNProxyserver with Family Sharing enabled. Guess what? It doesn’t. Customer service “clarified” that you have to use the same Apple ID. The whole idea of Apple family sharing is so that the purchase can be shared among family members with different Apple ID.

I downloaded it because we have used AVG for years on PCs. But there seems to be better, at least higher ratings VPN for iOS on the market, so I’m not really sad to cancel the subscription after the free trial. Will be checking out VPN 360 etc.

On the bright side though, the AVG VPN works well and fast - would have been happy to keep it if it’s not for the subscription sharing problem.

Avg’s VPN service is fairly lackluster. It has to reconnect frequently and has limited server choices. On top of being so limited, it doesn’t even give you an IP address in the area you choose; for example, if you chose Chicago, USA, Avg’s VPN will give you an IP in Europe, possibly Czech Republic based on the language changes to Google. All in all, it is a pain to use and needs to be improved greatly. Will definitely not be renewing that subscription unless significant changes are made.

Two issues: 1. I upgraded to multi devices but profile on iPhone still shows single. 2. The button to upgrade to multi platform subscription isn’t working.

AVGSecureVPNProxyserver works pretty however, so 3 stars from the frustration of the two issues above

by Justmelaurieb

This would be a great app, if the settings worked as they are supposed to. When I choose the “close app for 15 minutes”, it never turns back on. Of course, I don’t discover this for days. Also, It’s supposed to turn on automatically when connected to internet and frequently doesn’t. I have to go in and physically toggle it off, then back on again. So, even though it was on, it wasn’t connecting. Please work out the kinks in the settings.

Avg VPN is great and all. The autocorrect feature will not let me stay connected on my PC or My iPhone. I always got to disconnect from the VPN to pay my phone bill. I like to keep my stuff secure. It just won’t let me connect to the Straight Talk Server via the browser or app. Other sites I can’t access is the GameStop website with this VPN. I always got to disable it. I would like to remain anonymous on websites I visit.

Every time I go to open it it takes forever to start up and after turning it on it shuts off saying I need a profile so I make it and set it up well still shutting off after a couple of minutes and not starting off haven’t fully used since downloading and paying for it.

We have had AVG anti virus on our laptops for years . We have grown to trust AVG.I was very happy to find that they developed a VPN for the iPhone ! I had problems with the VPN not staying on consistently. I received a very prompt response from the support, at their prompting reinstalled it from AVGSecureVPNProxyserver Store , pushed the little wheel and turned WiFi and cellular with the green dot to the right( which is “on”) . My AVN has been on consistently for 24 hours so far : fixed . I’m glad to have this, as I travel internationally and need to go on all WiFi , even at airports . I pay annually and see that I have the discount : Nice!

I’ve been using AVG Internet security and AVG Tuneup for windows os for many many years and I think they were both incredible products. When I came across the AVG VPN I just knew that it would be the best product on the market and I was right. Do yourself a favor and get this amazing product it’s worth the money trust me. I’m using the AVG VPN 24/7 and I never had any connection problems and my internet speed is great. I highly recommend this product.

by TLI IN EDMOND

App works great for me. Interface is simple and easy to use. Have it on all my mobile devises. I have used AVG for many years and been satisfied with all products.

by Ilostmylighters

One of the best VPNs for the price with lots of additional features included. Such as being able to choose which city your server goes through. Examples are Mexico City , Montreal , and Frankfurt.

by Dpcacchiotti

AVG VPN and Virus protection is the best there is. Having tried many other products out on the market AVG is light years ahead in service and protection. AVG has protected all my devices for many years and I am please with all their products that I use.

Wow what a great software program just runs seemlessly doesn’t stop you from working on apps locating things
Or
Your ability to catch issues with web sites
Although would like to be able to activate my VPN from my desk top computer

by T3vpn

While I really enjoy the product on my home computer, I find that I often am not using it on my phone because it does not turn on automatically and shuts off every time I lock the screen.

by MLJ2021

AVG has consistently preformed in the virus and online protection space. The AVG VPN product delivers added value to the AVG line up of data security, and online protection.
Effortless. The VPN launches automatically and runs in the background allowing me to complete my transactions and communications without worry.
I highly recommend the AVG suite of products. Including the VPN service.

by Isanewday

I’m very thankful for AVGSecureVPNProxyserver and the security it provides. Waiting for the court hearings to take place is my next favorite thing and trying to find out which gym we are hiding under....... When crossing P lanes AVGSecureVPNProxyserver is a must!? You get in trouble for reading the Bible..... Switch land gauges........you get in trouble for reading the Quran......Switch land gauges........ You get in trouble for making key adds more smart......... Switch land gauges.........

Everyone knows technology is progressing quite fast and there are a lot of clever people out there with bad intentions. You have to protect your devices from malicious viruses and your information from hackers and scammers looking to get you. That’s why I chose AVG. They are the best at what they do and I’ve trusted them for years.

by Brokenandpoor333

This only really protects you from criminals at most. The encryption is extremely weak and they log your information and payment history which they surrender over to law enforcement which is not a good thing if you’re looking for absolute privacy.

by Telex29

This is slower than other vpn apps I have used.

Biggest problem for me is there's zero options to edit your connection. I would like to be able to change security settings like sha-2 or aes 256 vs ipsec or open. Weak program here

Just updating this review. AVGSecureVPNProxyserver disconnects my vpn minutes after I lock my iPhone screen.

I use pia vpn and it always stays connected so back to pia.

Avg you need to step up your game and stop making sub par apps

Also my email account was hacked from an ip address from Czech Republic. Just like all other avg products you can't trust them. I do it support for a living and I should have known better to give avg another chance

by I Love Rocky Road

I thought I was the only one bugging it seems I wasn’t!! If you read below, its happened to multiple people! I CANCELLED MY FREE TRIAL AND I WAS STILL CHARGED THE YEARLY COST. WHAT GIVES MAN??
And don’t tell me “oh this is how you cancel a subscription”... I know how to cancel a subscription. I did it correctly. I’ve done it many many times. And yall still charged me. Truly unprofessional.

by TheDiamondWolf678

It’s good but it makes me turn it in manually every 2 seconds and even when I turn it to automatically it barely even turns it on

by Gnett44

I gave 3 stars because AVGSecureVPNProxyserver had to be turned on every time I turn the phone on, even though I selected the button to turn it on when the the phone is in use .

by Deidre Brown 12023799808

If a program gets compromised by a criminal just make sure you cover your a**. Lol. I think if people start acting weird or have money unaccounted for plus stranger danger might be a sign. Maybe sell it to them. Lol. There reputation will be ruined and change the name as well. Or it might just be a competitor. Lol

by Jedi1122

Do you only reason it didn’t get five stars is there are more affordable VPN services available that are just as secure

by Tbeckys

I love the freedom to go on the internet without worrying someone is looking at what I’m doing! I finally feel safe!

by Snakerat

Milica and AVG customer support team have been most helpful in determining differences in the iPhone X and other IOS devices. All perform as promised when checked using third party IP analytics. Highly recommend.

by Druw69

It only saved 1 trusted network on my AVG VPN. It would be better if it could save more networks.

by MasterCheif001

Very helpful in navigating the system. I am not very technologically savvy so their help was outstanding. Would definitely recommend AVG to help secure accounts.

by DaveZ-NY

I have been using the AVG VPN on all of my computers, iPads and iPhones for a little more than a year. Everything is great about it. No downside. I have all of their products. Their tech support people are great too.

by Pia Carina

Works as advertised. No problems since loading AVGSecureVPNProxyserver !
