About this app

AVG Secure VPN & Proxy for Android helps you stay safe and protect your identity and information while connected to the Internet. As long as AVG Secure VPN is on, any data you send or receive is protected. Even on public Wi-Fi. Connect to an optimal location via proxy VPN for fast and reliable web surfing.

Browse privately and anonymously with AVG Secure VPN.

Choose your location to unlock apps, content and websites which are geo-restricted.

Our private encryption VPN ‘tunnel’ prevents hackers and thieves from stealing your data via public/open WiFi hotspots.

VPN on/off dashboard widget - a simple one-click widget for turning on your secure connection. Best for quick hotspot shield security.

Geo-restricted content access is made possible by changing your IP address (virtual location) using our VPN proxy servers.

WHAT IS A VPN? A Virtual Private Network (VPN) protects the data you upload and download from the internet, provides security for any data you send from your device, and anonymizes your internet activity.

HOW DOES VPN WORKS? Our VPN service protects you from data theft by using a virtual encryption shield ‘tunnel’ to secure your public/open WiFi connections. Once secured, your communications are impossible to spy on.

Private, anonymous browsing – when using AVG Secure VPN Proxy, your internet connection will appear to originate from a different virtual location. Use it to hide and anonymize your banking logins, chats, emails and payments.

Unblock apps, content and websites - some websites and content providers block access from certain locations. With AVG VPN Secure Proxy for Android, you can unblock these. Choose from a variety of servers, located in numerous countries and locations to change your IP address.

Some countries prohibit or restrict the use of VPNs. Countries in which our VPN solutions are not currently recommended for use: Belarus, China, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Oman, Turkey, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates.

Works but not always. There have been times, usually when I'm on holiday overseas, when it fails to connect. I installed this app primarily for use overseas so this is disappointing. I got the app on a 60 day free trial. At the time I was told an annual subscription would cost £18.99. My free trial comes to an end in a few days and I have now been advised that it will cost me nearly £60 to renew ! So will probably cancel and look for a different app.

Seems to do what it is supposed to do. Of course, you don't know what it's blocking until it does so, and often not even then. This is probably a good thing. Also, when it's updated, it comes up with screens of subscription options, it has forgotten that I have paid already for full ultimate cover and I have to go find my authorisation code and enter it again.

Hello Neil, thank you for your feedback. Please ensure you are signed in to Google Play with the account used for your purchase, then try Restore via Google Play instead of entering the authorization code again. If your subscription is still not recognized after an update, contact us at support.avg.com for assistance. *AVG

Worked fine until very recently. Like many reviews below, it says it can't sync with Google Play. I used other AVG products previously without any issues, this is disappointing. UPDATE The app has been behaving a bit better, but sometimes the VPN switches off, and doesn't tell you, thereby making it a bit pointless. Currently it is switched off, and will not switch on again. I changed my score a bit because it has been better, but if I can't fix it, I'll score it one star, and switch.

Hi, sorry to hear that, but thanks for letting us know. We are ready to help you, but I'm afraid it would be too complicated to deal with this here on Google Play. Could you please contact us by e-mail on mobile-support@avg.com? Just describe your problem again and specify what device you have (or add any useful information). Thanks, AVG Support
