If someone can give me a reasonable explanation as to why you would block outgoing vpn connections please....do tell

I mean disabling incoming VPN makes sense to block access to your network but the client seams reasonably harmless....oh well here's how you fix it.

The following is taken from the AVG website.

Quote
When using some other VPN solution, the rules to be allowed in AVG
Firewall are based on the type of VPN connection. There are four rules
in AVG Firewall related to VPN communication:
  • ESP protocol
  • GRE protocol
  • L2TP VPN
  • PPTP VPN

In order to allow the VPN connection you are using, please proceed as follows:
  1. Open AVG -> menu Tools -> Firewall settings.
  2. Expand Profiles -> <your profile> -> System services.
  3. Allow rules GRE protocol and PPTP VPN (select each rule and in the System rule details select Allow for all).
  4. Save the Firewall settings and check whether it is possible to connect to the VPN server.
  5. In case the connection is blocked, Block rules GRE protocol and PPTP VPN, and Allow for all rules ESP protocol and L2TP VPN.
  6. Save the Firewall settings and check whether it is possible to connect to the VPN server.

AVG 9 doesn't have that option instead you have to
1.double click avg to get the main window open
2. go to the tools menu and select Advanced Settings
3.Expand the web shied tree so you can see web protection and select that
4.in the exclude host/ip/domain box add domain or ip of the host
5. hit apply
6. re-enable the firewall
