Norton VPN adds Fire TV support and brings WireGuard to Apple devices

Streaming doesn’t just happen on your couch anymore. You watch on the go via hotspots and on public Wi-Fi in hotels, airports, and cafés — potentially risky networks you don’t control. A VPN adds a strong layer of privacy and security by encrypting your connection, keeping your viewing activity hidden from other network users, internet providers, and data-hungry third parties.

When you’re away from home, your streaming experience shouldn’t suddenly feel limited or inconsistent. By helping you maintain access to your streaming services and favorite content while travelling, a VPN also ensures your location doesn’t dictate how or where you watch.

That’s why we’re introducing a set of Norton VPN updates focused specifically on streaming, with expanded device support and faster, modern performance where it matters most.

Private streaming, now on Amazon Fire TV

Norton VPN is now available directly on Amazon Fire TV devices running Fire OS 8 and newer, bringing private, safer streaming to the biggest screen in your home — no workarounds or complicated setup required.

​​Amazon reports that more than 250 million Fire TV devices have been sold globally, powering countless “just one more episode” moments in living rooms, bedrooms, and dorms all around the world.

Because most Fire TV devices run on Amazon’s Android-based Fire OS, this update extends Norton VPN’s familiar experience beyond phones and laptops, complementing existing Google TV and Apple TV support and making it even easier to stay protected at home.

In practice, Fire TV support means less friction and more confidence wherever you stream:

• Fewer steps to stay protected on Fire TV devices
• More private streaming on shared networks in rentals or campus housing.
• More consistent VPN experiences across your devices

Bringing WireGuard to the Apple ecosystem

Norton customers deserve nothing less than the very best. That’s why we’ve rolled out support for the WireGuard VPN protocol across Apple platforms, bringing Apple users feature parity with other platforms:

• Apple TV: Available since December 2025.
• iOS: Available since December 2025.
• macOS: Available since February 2026.

Wondering what all the fuss is about? WireGuard is a cutting-edge VPN protocol built to be fast, streamlined, and secure, without the bulky complexity of older protocols. It prioritizes simplicity and auditability, using a smaller codebase and modern cryptography.

“WireGuard was a highly requested addition, and we’re excited to deliver it on Apple platforms. This upgrade brings faster performance and modern security, while continuing to support key Norton VPN features like Pause VPN and Advanced servers, ensuring customers never have to choose between speed and protection.” — Paul de Lange, Lead VPN Engineer.

For streaming, WireGuard translates directly into even faster connection speeds, fewer interruptions, and smoother playback:

• Faster speeds for HD and 4K streaming, with quicker app start times.
• Smooth, reliable connections on mobile devices.
• Modern cryptography built for today’s security needs.
