Frequently asked questions
It’s important to know how a VPN works and why you should use one. VPN helps you protect your online privacy, secure your sensitive data, access your favourite content, and offers a more secure, private and enjoyable online experience, even on unsecured public Wi-Fi networks. It’s essential to safeguard your online presence with a fast VPN that doesn’t slow down your device, like Norton VPN.
Connect to a VPN server located in a region where the website is available, and you’ll be able to enjoy quick and easy access to your favourite content.
To connect to VPN, you'll first have to download and install the VPN software:
- Go to my.Norton.com and Sign In.
- On the My Norton page, under Norton VPN, click Download.
- Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
- Once you've done that, just open the VPN, select the optimal server for you based on the server location options. Then connect to that VPN location with a click and you're ready to browse more privately.
Yes, using a VPN is safe and effective. Norton VPN uses bank-grade encryption to make your data unreadable to unauthorized parties. This ensures your online activities remain private and secure, and protects your sensitive information from potential threats while online.
Norton has a strict VPN no-log policy. We don’t track, log, or save your browsing activities. This means that we can’t see what you do online, ensuring greater privacy and the peace of mind that comes with reliable VPN software.

Norton VPN automatically chooses the most suitable VPN protocol for you, or you can manually select your preferred one:
- Mimic - Proprietary, secure, high-speed protocol developed by Norton experts. Mimic is designed to make it appear that you are not using a VPN at all, navigating around firewall restrictions. Our patented encryption technology also makes it withstand potential cyberattacks from quantum computers.
- WireGuard - Modern, open-source protocol known for its speed and simplicity. Utilising advanced cryptography, it offers secure connections with improved performance.
- OpenVPN (Windows,Android) – The most established, open-source protocol renowned for its maturity and compatibility with a wide-range of platforms.
- IPsec (Mac, iOS) – Developed as an Internet standard protocol, to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity when accessing public networks. Most operating systems already natively support this protocol.
Norton VPN plans offer more server locations, including city-level, for faster connections and content access. They also include Smart TV apps for smoother streaming and advanced servers for extra privacy. Moreover, they feature Ad Blocker, more Auto-Connect options, or manual protocol selection.
Secure VPN feature in Norton 360 focuses on online security and shares some VPN capabilities like Compromised Network Detection, Kill Switch, DNS Leak Protection, and Split Tunneling.*
