Newly installed avast vpn disconnects from home wifi when turned on

I just installed avast vpn. When the vpn says pause, the product says that it will turn on when needed. I assume that mean when in a public wifi. When I turn the vpn on at home, it disconnects from the home wifi (which is comcast based). Can anyone explain if the vpn is working or should I ask for a refund?

Also I enabled something on the product called Smart VPN. I am not really sure how that works.

Thank you in advance for any help understanding this product.
