VPN access locked on release 25.17

Unable to turn VPN on (Grey zone) from release 25.17 of Avast One free

First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member and I don’t use the Avast One product.

However, I believe that the Avast SecureLine VPN is now a stand alone VPN product that you can purchase to run with what ever Avast Antivirus product that you have.

I did a google search on this - Avast+SecureLine+VPN - which returns many hits.

See this one in particular.
