I think the problem might be larger than just that.... Or maybe I am having a different issue.
I leave my VPN connected all the time. Sometimes everything will be working fine and then suddenly (on the same page I was already on) things will stop working. A couple of times I got this message saying that I had too many devices connected and I needed to disconnect.
This was strange because I only have 1 device.
I was constantly having issues where I couldn't access the internet at random times. Last night I uninstalled the SecureLine VPN that came bundled with Avast Security for Mac and resinstalled SecureLine from a standalone download.
I have not had the problem again today, but I will be keeping an eye out and if it happens again I will update this and contact AVAST. I didn't pay the price I paid for a service that isn't going to be reliable. Thats why I switched from my previous VPN provider (unreliability).
Point was, I don't think you are alone!
