Avast VPN breaks internet connection when turned "ON"

[jpaulb1]

Hi Folks,

I’ve just begun the trial period for Avast VPN.

When I turn it “ON” and select any one of the locations from the list, my internet connection will break.
If I turn “OFF” the VPN. my connection reestablishes itself within seconds.

Must be a common enough issue. (The VPN is allowable in the Avast Firewall) What am I missing?

Firewall settings? Other security related software installed?
