You are not online, to use VPN, connect to the Internet

Hello, community. Today I encountered a strange problem with Avast VPN, which when connected, breaks the connection with the message You are not online, to use VPN, connect to the Internet. But everything is fine with the network. Yesterday there was a connection, today it does not work. There were no updates, I did not make any changes to the settings. Subscription for another 10 months.

Today I suddenly had the exact same problem, although I have been using a paid subscription to this VPN (and other Avast services) for several years.
At startup it says “you are not connected to the Internet”, but this is not true and the antivirus, for example, works fine.
Uninstalled the program and installed again, does not help.
What to do, it is unclear…

Have you solved your problem somehow? How?
Thank you.
