I also like that you can configure the app to automatically connect you to a VPN server when it detects that you have connected to a dangerous network.
Its Wi-Fi Security feature alerts you to dangerous networks and automatically connects you to a VPN server when you attempt to connect to a dangerous server.
Norton Secure VPN says it keeps records of your IP address to determine appropriate language settings and to deliver content to your device, but this explanation on the website is too vague and the customer support representatives were unable to provide me with a clear answer as to why the provider stores IP addresses.
In addition to IP addresses, Norton Secure VPN also logs your email address for enrollment and billing purposes and your bandwidth for security, network operations, and support. Norton Secure VPN has very fast speeds on local servers. However, I had very fast speeds for browsing, and VoIP calls were smooth with no freezing or disconnects.
Finally, I connected to a Japanese server. Websites took seconds to load, HD videos took up to 20 seconds to start, and I experienced frequent buffering while skipping through the HD videos. But my VoIP calls were just as stable as my calls on the US server, and there was only minor lag while gaming. But, I wanted to see what kind of speeds my colleague had in the US. My colleague first conducted a speed test without being connected to the VPN to get his baseline. Then, he used Auto-select region and was connected to a server in Ohio.
Netflix TV shows and movies started immediately and websites loaded right away. However, HD videos began instantly, websites loaded without any delay, and there was no freezing or glitches during multiple Zoom calls. Finally, he connected to a server in Australia.
It took about 10 seconds for videos to start and websites loaded in seconds. But his Zoom calls were perfect quality, and he was able to play video games without much lag.
Overall, Norton Secure VPN has very fast speeds on local servers, but I experienced noticeable slowdowns while streaming, gaming, and browsing on very distant servers. That said, my VoIP calls were smooth on all locations. This prevents you from connecting to a specific city that is closer to your location to get faster speeds. Dedicated IP addresses are IP addresses that are only assigned to you. Overall, Norton Secure VPN has a pretty strong server network with servers located all over the world.
Each of these providers has excellent speeds, top-notch security, and works with the most popular torrenting clients.
The quick-connect feature automatically connects you to the fastest server based on your location. And I like how simple it is to manually connect to a server — the list of countries appears when you click on the location icon at the bottom of the page. My only complaint with connecting to a server is that there is no option to filter servers by speed.
During my tests, the quick-connect feature always connected me to a server in Romania, unlike the mobile apps that connected me to fast servers in different countries.
The Windows app has a kill switch, an ad blocker, and split-tunneling, while the macOS app only has an ad blocker. The mobile and desktop apps have different designs, but they are all easy to navigate. You have a lot of passwords for all your online accounts, so you write them down or store them in plain text on your computer. Storing passwords where someone else can find them isn't the most secure way to manage your passwords.
Use a password manager to store all your login credentials in a secure online vault that you access with a master password. But how can you remember passwords like that? Help protect your important online accounts by using strong, unique passwords and managing them in a password manager app.
If one of those accounts gets compromised through phishing or a data breach, it could mean access to all the other accounts that use the same password. Use a password manager that stores your passwords in an encrypted online vault and enables you to generate new passwords and update your accounts, all in one place. Your email, bank, investment, tax preparation, online shopping, healthcare, social media and work accounts—do you use the same password for all of them?
The risk is obvious. If a cybercriminal gets one password, they could get into all your accounts. A cybercriminal who gets into your email can quickly reset passwords to the accounts you have tied to it, like the accounts you use to manage your finances. Remembering many passwords is difficult, but not as difficult as cleaning up the mess of a cybercriminal who gains access to online accounts you want to keep secure. Follow these rules for good password management to help keep your passwords secure.

So whenever you transact online, simply select the account you want to log into and Norton Password Manager will auto-fill your login information with one click, safely and securely. Strong passwords are vital to your online security.

Because password strength is of great importance to your online security, Norton Password Manager has a built-in password generator that enables you to generate strong, complex passwords within the app.

If you do want to use the standalone Norton Secure VPN, you could use separate single device subscriptions and different Norton Accounts. But it would be more cost effective to just get a multi device version that can cover all your family devices. If you go this route, for your mobile devices you would just go to the appropriate App Store app and download the Norton Secure VPN app. Then during the installation process, signing into your Norton Account in the VPN app will activate the app against your paid subscription.
Having said that, if you are using Norton on your devices, it now includes the VPN function. So if you do have the standalone VPN you should uninstall that to avoid any possible conflicts. Thanks, peterweb! That makes sense. Definitely comfortable sharing the single account for the VPN across devices. Appreciate the quick response. Back to top. Jvc05 Newbie 1.
