I just started the free trial for avast VPN, for PC, Windows 7.
I tried to access a website with an "https" address, but I got the message secure connection failed. It is a legit site of an e-shop that I use frequently.
The solution proposed at
https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/189/ didn't work.
Switching of the web shield didn't work either.
In fact the web shield is not a problem at all. The only thing that works is switching off Avast-VPN. But then my bank details will not be protected while I am buying something from that site and then what's the point of having it if you can't use it for one of the most important needs?
Any ideas?
