A VPN and security software are two different products, both available from NortonLifeLock.
A VPN protects the privacy of your browsing activity and the data you send over the internet, which is especially important while using public Wi-Fi hotspots.
Security software protects your computers, tablets and smartphones from getting malware and viruses. Norton 360 plans include both VPN & Security, plus additional features to help protect your devices and your online privacy.
Two key reasons to use a VPN are:
When you browse the Web, you leave a digital footprint of your activity through your IP (Internet Protocol) address. Web browsers commonly store your browsing history, and tracking cookies & pixels are used to record various aspects of your browsing and shopping behavior for later use in advertising.
If you use public Wi-Fi, you’re on a shared network with other users who could access your browsing information through the shared connection.
A VPN helps with both of these things. When you connect to a VPN, your browsing activity appears to come from the IP address of the VPN server rather than your own. Your browsing activity is also encrypted, so the data sent and received in your online activity is encoded.
When you use a Virtual Private Network, or VPN, it’s like having your own private network over the Internet. Your online activity is essentially hidden in a tunnel. When you connect to a VPN, you are connecting from your device to the VPN provider’s server, so your online activity is associated with that server’s IP address rather than yours. Once you connect to a VPN, it runs in the background, and you can browse the web and use apps just as you usually would.
A VPN service is a software provider who maintains servers, often in many different countries, and provides users with VPN access, often as a subscription. You sign up for the service, download the software to your PC or Mac or the app to your mobile device, and then you are able to connect to the VPN as needed. VPN services that offer servers in multiple countries typically allow you to select the location to wish you which to connect, and then start the VPN and allow it to run in the background as you browse as usual.
Connecting to a VPN through a VPN service is often done with just a couple of clicks. Once you have a subscription to a VPN service and have downloaded the desktop client or mobile app, you typically click to connect to the VPN, and then it runs in the background. Some VPN services will also enable you to select the location of the server you want to use before you click to connect.
Selecting the best VPN for your needs starts with considering the features that are most important to you. This may include factors such as speed of service, uptime or operating system compatibility. There are many VPN services available, so selecting the best one for you can be a challenge. When selecting a VPN provider, here are features to consider:
Downloading and setting up a VPN with a service provider is typically straightforward. On a PC or Mac, you would go to the provider’s website to purchase a subscription, create an account, and download the VPN software. On an Android or iOS device, you would download the app from the app store, and sign up for an account. Depending upon the options available, set up options may include:
Once you set your preferences, you can connect to the VPN and browse as usual.
