Quick uninstall/reinstall sorts it out.

Hi,

I have the same issue.

Asked under VPN general and de-installed and did a new install, as bob3160 suggested, but it did not resolve the issue.

This is a great frustration, as this is a paid for product.

My problem was resolved: I used the 'Chat' function under help and someone assisted me. He made a change in settings to 'experimental' and 'Avast mimic', and perhaps something else.

No need to uninstall/install.
Go to settings, then Experimental, then change the protocol to Avast Mimic
That's all. See attached image.

Avast SecureLine VPN reinstalled at least 4 times, every time I connect via VPN I loose my web connection. Concentrating on the cause took a long time, what I found that the software currupts theWinsock for browsing the web. Finally I ran the Command Prompt as administrator: 'netsh winsock reset'   After reboot all was back to normal browing. I have now uninstalled this product until Avast sorts the problem out.

Presumably you didn't try the suggestion in the post above yours.
