Because we cannot see what you see, it helps you to post a screenshot of your problem. 

Your reply above is showing 'OFF' is normal operating procedure before you click 'OFF' to turn your VPN 'ON'?

A picture can be worth a thousand words, as here.  Picture will show if it is that or something else.

If you do not know how to do a screenshot, then use:
--->Press Alt+PrintScreen when viewing your problem.
--->Open Paint and Press Ctrl+V to paste into Paint.

Save your new file and place on desktop.  Attach your picture in your next reply.

Hi my name is Antonio,

I am trying Avast out for the first time and I am having an issue with being able to turn the VPN service on. It newly installed and I get an error when trying to turn it on saying "sorry its not possible to establish a connection" Note: I have completed the troubleshooting steps on the avast website including un-install/Install and have a doctorate in computer information sciences just to let you know what skill I have.

Please advise. Thank you in Advance

-Antonio Pezzino

Hi, you need to install the standalone version of SecureLine.
