Stay connected abroad

A VPN (virtual private network) reroutes your internet connection through a server in another location, encrypting your traffic and allowing you to connect to the web as if you were somewhere else. This helps keep your browsing private and protect the data you send and receive, even on unsecured public Wi-Fi.

As an expat, a VPN can help you reach your home bank and government sites, watch your favorite shows, and keep in touch with your loved ones, however long you’re abroad.

Why expats need a VPN

When you move abroad, the internet changes along with your address. Banks may flag your logins, and shows you’ve been following can disappear from content libraries. A VPN can help you reconnect to the internet just as you would back home.

Familiar streaming

Streaming platforms often show completely different libraries depending on your location. With a VPN, you don’t have to miss out on familiar shows, movies, and live sports while you’re overseas.

More accessible banking

Logging in to banking websites or tax portals from another country can sometimes trigger security blocks. By connecting to the internet through a server in your home country, a VPN could help you avoid lockouts. Just keep in mind that some known VPN IP addresses can trigger security flags, too.

Secure data and file sharing

Logging in from hotels, cafes, and airports often means relying on public Wi-Fi networks that hackers can exploit. As well as encrypting your connection to help protect the data you send and receive as you surf, Norton VPN has P2P-optimized servers to make file-sharing faster and more secure.

Staying in touch with loved ones

When you’re abroad, the social media and messaging platforms you count on to keep up with family and friends may behave differently. A VPN can help you reach those platforms as you would from your home country.

FAQs

Do VPNs work internationally?

Yes, VPNs work internationally. A reputable VPN lets you connect to servers around the world, so you can use it in most countries to protect your connection and reach content from other regions. That said, performance can vary by location and network, and a handful of countries  restrict or block VPN use, so it’s worth checking local rules before you travel.

Are VPNs legal in all countries?

No, VPNs are not legal everywhere. In most countries, using a VPN is legal, but some governments restrict, regulate, or ban them outright. Because laws differ from place to place and can change, always check the current regulations in your destination before using a VPN there.

Can I use a free VPN instead of a paid one?

Yes, you can use a free VPN, but you may experience slower speeds, limited server locations, or strict data limits. Some free services may also log browsing activity or display targeted ads, which can contribute to a lackluster experience and expose your data.

What should I do if my streaming service detects my VPN?

If a streaming platform blocks your VPN connection, try switching to a different server location or refreshing your IP address. Many VPNs provide multiple servers in each region to help maintain access. Norton VPN offers an IP rotation feature, which regularly refreshes your IP address automatically. Clearing your browser cookies or using an app instead of a browser may also help.
