Can't access sites, VPN intermitent

Kamo version 4.8.1258.1658

I have set Kamo to start when my computer starts. I am on Win 10, Chrome browser.

Most of the sites are not reachable with Tracking Protection enabled. Chrome says:

This site can’t be reached.

www.google.com unexpectedly closed the connection.

ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

I can enter the site as an exception, but then I get no tracking protection. And sometimes even then jpgs are not displayed on the site.

Avast SecureLine VPN is on automatic but starts only sometimes. When starting the service manually, VPN is working, but my location is not changed and Kamo says under Private Connection (in main screen) that I'm unprotected.
