¿Por qué confiar en esta guía?
I have run AVG Secure VPN for eight months across Windows, Mac, Androide, and iOS. Every screen here comes from my own testing.
AVG VPN is a virtual private network built by the same security software team behind AVG Internet Security.
Most people use a VPN once, hit the slider, and never open the Settings menu again.
That is a shame, because the useful parts sit one click deeper.
This guide on how to use AVG VPN walks through every feature step by step.
Tutorial de AVG VPN
This tutorial covers setup, each feature, and the fixes for problems people hit most often.
VPN de AVG
Hide your IP address and encrypt your internet connection in one click. AVG Secure VPN gives you around 700 servers, AES 256 bit encryption, and a 60-day free trial. No credit card charge until the trial ends.
Primeros pasos con AVG VPN
Before using a VPN feature, finish this one-time setup.
It takes about 3 minutes on a PC or mobile device.
Here is the first screen you meet after installing:
Ahora vamos a repasar cada paso.
Paso 1: Crea tu cuenta

Introduce tu correo electrónico y crea una contraseña.
The 60-day free trial runs without an upfront charge.
✓ Control: Comprueba tu bandeja de entrada para el correo electrónico de confirmación.
Paso 2: Descarga e instala la aplicación.
Download and install AVG Secure VPN for Windows or the VPN for Mac from the AVG site.
On Android and iOS, grab the mobile VPN from the App Store or Google Play.
Sign in with your AVG account or enter your activation code.
Always run the latest version of AVG Secure VPN. This applies to AVG Secure apps on every platform.
Here is what the app gives you once it opens:
✓ Control: You should see the main screen with a red OFF slider.
Paso 3: Completar la configuración inicial
Mobile asks for permission to set up a VPN connection. Tap Allow.
Then pick your preferred server location from the list.
✅ Hecho: Ya puedes utilizar cualquiera de las funciones que aparecen a continuación.
How to Control AVG VPN Online Privacy
Privacidad en línea lets you hide your online activities from your ISP and anyone sharing the same network.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Open the Privacy Screen
Launch the app and look at the main screen.
The slider sits in the middle and reads OFF in red.
Step 2: Turn the VPN Connection On
Click the slider once to start the VPN connection.
It turns green and reads ON within a few seconds.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: The slider is green and your new server location is listed underneath.
Step 3: Confirm the Privacy Message
The app shows a message saying your online privacy is protected.
AVG Secure VPN does not log the websites you visit.
✅ Resultado: Your web traffic now travels inside an encrypted tunnel.
💡 Consejo profesional: AVG keeps connection logs only — time connected, duration, and how much data you moved.
Cómo usar el cifrado de grado militar de AVG VPN
Cifrado de grado militar lets you scramble every packet with AES 256 bit encryption before it leaves your device.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Paso 1: Abrir la configuración
Click the menu icon and choose Settings.
Then pick the VPN Protocols tab.
Step 2: Pick a VPN Protocol
Choose Automatic to let the app switch between WireGuard, OpenVPN, and Mimic.
Automatic works best on flaky public Wi-Fi.
✓ Control: Your chosen VPN protocol shows as active in the Settings menu.
Step 3: Reconnect and Verify
Toggle the connection off and on so the new VPN protocol loads.
The status bar confirms your traffic is encrypted.
✅ Resultado: Every request is encrypted before it reaches your router.
💡 Consejo profesional: Mimic disguises VPN traffic as normal browsing on networks that block VPNs.
Cómo usar AVG VPN: más de 50 ubicaciones de servidores
Más de 50 ubicaciones de servidores lets you pick from roughly 700 servers spread across about 50 locations worldwide.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Open the Location List
Click the current location name under the slider.
The full server list opens on the right.
Paso 2: Elige un servidor VPN
Pick a city close to you for speed or a distant one for content.
Streaming-ready servers carry a small play icon.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: The header shows the new country and the connection stays green.
Step 3: Save Your Favourite
Click the star beside a VPN server to pin it to the top.
Your pinned list loads first on every launch.
✅ Resultado: You are connected through the server location you picked.
💡 Consejo profesional: Nearby servers keep latency low, which matters on Windows where speeds dip most.
Cómo usar AVG VPN para ocultar la ubicación y la IP
Ocultar ubicación e IP lets you swap your real IP address for one belonging to the VPN server.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Paso 1: Compruebe su dirección IP actual.
Search “what is my IP” before you connect to the internet through AVG.
Write the number down.
Step 2: Connect and Recheck
Turn the VPN on and refresh the same page.
Both the IP address and the city should change.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: The site reports a different IP address and country than before.
Step 3: Turn On the Kill Switch
Open Settings and enable the Kill Switch.
It blocks all internet traffic if the VPN connection drops unexpectedly.
✅ Resultado: Websites and trackers see the server IP, never your own.
💡 Consejo profesional: Recheck IP addresses after every reconnect — that catches silent drops fast.
Cómo usar la compatibilidad multidispositivo de AVG VPN

Identidad segura de AVG lets you watch for leaked credentials tied to the email addresses you use daily.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Paso 1: Abra la pestaña Identidad
Switch to the identity area inside the AVG dashboard.
Add the email address you use for online accounts.
Step 2: Run the First Scan
Start the scan and wait about a minute.
Any breach that exposed your details is listed with a date.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: Your monitored address shows a green status or a list of breaches.
Step 3: Act on What It Finds
Change the password on every flagged site.
Turn on alerts so future leaks reach you by email.
✅ Resultado: You learn about leaked logins before hackers act on them.
💡 Consejo profesional: Add old addresses too — abandoned accounts are what hackers usually test first.
Cómo usar AVG Secure VPN
AVG Secure VPN lets you run the standalone virtual private network app on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Enable Auto-Connect
Open Settings and switch Auto-Connect on.

Right-click the tray icon to open the context menu.
Connect or disconnect without opening the full window.

💡 Consejo profesional: Split tunneling lets Android users exclude specific apps from the VPN connection.

Antivirus lets you pair the VPN with real-time malware blocking and a two-way firewall.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Install AVG Internet Security
Download the installer from the AVG site and run it.
The VPN and antivirus share one account.
Step 2: Turn On the Core Shields
Enable the file, web, and email shields from the protection screen.
Leave the firewall on its default profile.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: The main panel shows every shield marked as active.
Step 3: Schedule a Weekly Scan
Set a scan for a time your PC is usually idle.
AVG applies updates in the background.
✅ Resultado: Malware is blocked at the file level while the VPN handles your traffic.
💡 Consejo profesional: Antivirus stops malware on the device; a VPN protects data in transit. You want both.
Cómo usar AVG VPN Virus Scan & Cleaner
Escaneo y limpieza de virus lets you clear junk files and leftover registry entries that slow an older machine.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Run a Deep Scan
Choose the deep scan option rather than the quick one.
It reads every drive attached to your PC.
Paso 2: Revisar los resultados
Check what the scan flagged before you delete anything.
Browser caches and installer leftovers are safe to clear.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: The summary lists how much space the clean-up recovered.
Step 3: Clean and Restart
Confirm the clean-up and reboot once it finishes.
Run this monthly to keep things tidy.
✅ Resultado: Your machine boots faster and has more free space.

Consejos y atajos profesionales para AVG VPN
After eight months of daily use, these are the shortcuts I actually keep using.
Atajos de teclado
| Acción | Atajo |
|---|---|
| Open AVG from the tray | Win + click tray icon |
| Connect or disconnect | Right-click tray → Connect |
| Abrir configuración | Ctrl + , (Windows) |
| Quit the app | Cmd + Q (Mac) |
Características ocultas que la mayoría de la gente pasa por alto
- Conexión automática: Settings → turn it on so AVG starts on any untrusted or public Wi-Fi.
- Interruptor de apagado: Blocks all traffic the moment the tunnel drops, so nothing leaks to your ISP.
- Automatic protocol: Lets the app switch between WireGuard, OpenVPN, and Mimic when a network misbehaves.
- Tray context menu: Connect, change server, or quit without opening the window.
Errores comunes que debes evitar al usar AVG VPN
Mistake #1: Expecting a VPN to Replace Antivirus
❌ Incorrecto: Turning on the VPN and skipping malware protection entirely.
✅ Derecha: A VPN encrypts traffic in transit. AVG Internet Security handles files, websites, and the firewall on your device.
Mistake #2: Treating It Like a Proxy Server
❌ Incorrecto: Assuming a browser proxy server gives the same cover as a virtual private network.
✅ Derecha: A proxy moves one app’s traffic. AVG sends everything on the device through its encrypted tunnel.
Mistake #3: Ignoring the Trial Cancellation Window
❌ Incorrecto: Letting the 60-day trial lapse and then disputing the charge.
✅ Derecha: Cancel through the App Store or your AVG account before the 60-day window closes.
Solución de problemas de AVG VPN
Problem: AVG Cannot Establish a Connection
Causa: Alguno hotel and campus networks block VPN ports outright.
Arreglar: Check the network policies of the Wi-Fi you joined. Then switch the VPN protocol to Mimic and retry.
Problem: Speeds Drop Sharply on Windows
Causa: Distant servers add latency, and Windows suffers more than Mac here.
Arreglar: Try connecting to a VPN server in a nearby country and stay on WireGuard.
Problem: Some Apps Refuse to Load
Causa: Banking and streaming apps sometimes reject shared server IP addresses.
Arreglar: Change server location, or on Android use split tunneling to exclude that app from the VPN.
