Frequently asked questions
It's important to know how a VPN works and why you should use one. A VPN helps you protect your online privacy, secure your sensitive data, access geo-restricted content, and have 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.
Just connect to a VPN server located in a region where the website isn't blocked, and you'll be able to enjoy quick and easy access to your favorite content.
To connect to a 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 and 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 like employers, the government, and ISPs. This ensures your online activities remain private and secure, and protects your sensitive information from potential threats while browsing the internet.
Norton has a strict VPN no-log policy. We don't track, log, or save your browsing activities. This means that not even we can see what you do online, ensuring greater privacy and the peace of mind that comes with reliable VPN software.
Yes, Norton VPN works on iPhone, PC, Android, and Mac to improve your privacy and access to online content on your devices.
