VPN services and antivirus software can occasionally conflict, resulting in connectivity issues. Making an exception for Atlas VPN on Avast Antivirus can solve these issues. By following this article, you will learn how to whitelist your VPN service in the settings of Avast. Let's dive in!

  4. Click on ADD EXCEPTION.
      

      
  5. Click NEXT in the pop-up window.
