Norton Secure VPN is the easiest way to protect yourself when using the Internet. It encrypts your traffic and transmits it over a private channel to the server, allowing you to bypass geolocation restrictions and ISP surveillance. It has always been challenging to fly off the radar.

It is beneficial that the VPN comes with a Norton 360 subscription. It provides complete protection against all kinds of viruses and threats; in addition, with VPN you will be protected from almost all threats possible. 

1. Safe and secure browsing.

2. Available in Norton 360 pack.

3. Mobile applications on Android and iOS.

4. No risks with public WI-FI usage.

5. Content access.

6. AES-256 protocol encryption.

7. Ad-trackers blocker.

Norton Secure VPN has some functions that are designed to protect you and increase your privacy and security:

• Compromised and Insecure Network Detection
  If you connect to unsecured Wi-Fi, it will automatically connect to a VPN service to ensure you are protected.

• On-the-go Protection
  Be protected even on Android and iOS. At work, home, long adventure - it does not matter for Norton Secure VPN.

• Split tunneling
  With this feature, you can choose which applications will used with VPN and which will not.

• Kill Switch
  A handy feature. If you lose connection with the VPN, the service will immediately shut down all internet traffic.

• No-logs policy
  This is a basic feature for a big VPN service like Norton Secure VPN. They store as few logs about you as possible while using the application.

• Anonymous Browsing
  Just be anonymous online. And forget about prying eyes all around the internet. 

We have tested Norton Secure VPN, and the results are down below. It dramatically slows your speed, especially the upload speed, but when it comes to very distant servers - the upload speed to the server drops incredibly. What can we say about the download speed: there is a drawdown, but it is not particularly critical for ordinary users.

The starting point for our tests will be Thessaloniki, Greece.

A service called Speedtest will help us with this.

Quick reminders:
Ping — time in ms required to transfer data from you to the server. — Lower is better, higher is worse. 
Download — speed of downloading data from (!) the Internet. — Lower is worse, higher is better.
Upload — speed of data upload to (!) the Internet. — Lower is worse, higher is better.


Thessaloniki, Greece - No VPN

London, United Kingdom, VPN enabled (It is not possible for users to select a city.)

Frankfurt, Germany, VPN enabled (It is not possible for users to select a city.)


Virginia State, United States, VPN enabled (It is not possible for users to select a city.)


Montreal, Canada, VPN enabled (It is not possible for users to select a city.)

The server capacity of Norton Secure VPN consists of 1,500+ servers in 29 countries. This is an average number of servers for a VPN service, but they are pretty enough to cover the flow of users.

The new internet era is here - access everything you want without restrictions, or if you want to save some money on subscriptions or hotels - Norton Secure VPN will cover all your needs.

We see from tests that Norton Secure VPN uses Amazon servers, which are heavily loaded, which has a very serious impact on speed. To be honest, if you are not doing something serious that requires high connection speed - you are good. If you are a user who is highly demanding service, this is not the way for you.

Norton Secure VPN service stands for zero-log policy but collects the IP addresses of users but does not store them. Whatever this means, the IP address from which the connection is made remains at risk, and this does not sound like a real zero-log policy. It is up to you to decide whether to trust Norton Company or not.

We have collected a small selection of what the service does collect and does not collect about users below.

SERVICE COLLECTS:

1. Account Data:
   • Norton Secure VPN collects data related to the enrollment and billing processes.
2. Device Data:
   • Install identifier (while active or 36 months)
   • Device name and type (while active or 36 months)
   • OS version (for mobile devices only) (while active or 36 months)
   • Language (while active or 36 months)
3. Security Data:
   • Aggregate bandwidth usage (while active or 36 months)
4. Diagnostic Data:
   • Error state in installation/usage of the app (while active or 36 months)
   • Data to assist with debugging connectivity problems (7 days)
5. VPN Service Data:
   • Data to monitor compliance with the terms of use (7 days)
   • If suspicious behavior is detected or blocked: device identifier from the app, frequency of abuse of services (7 days)
6. Application Data:
   • License identifier (while active or 36 months)
   • IP address (not stored)

SERVICE DOES NOT COLLECT:

1. Norton Secure VPN does not require Users to provide any data outside the enrollment and billing processes, so no additional personal data is processed.
2. IP address is not stored in Application Data.

Norton Secure VPN is included in Standard, Deluxe, and Select + LifeLock Norton 360 Packs. 

Also, there is an option to buy a VPN separately from the Norton 360 Pack. Prices are lower here, but the amount of devices available is also lower.

Many payment options are available: Credit and debit cards, PayPal, and Google Pay.

Norton Secure VPN does not allow torrenting on their servers. That basically means the service is blocking any P2P connections to download and send files.

So, if you want to find any VPN for torrenting - Norton Secure VPN is not your case.

Norton Secure VPN shows itself to be worthy in terms of the features offered, convenience, and other things, but it needs to be stronger in speed and in mentioning the collection of IP addresses in the privacy policy. If you can believe the second point about the IP address not being saved, then the low speed on Amazon servers is quite critical for most users. The price of the VPN service itself is not very high, so it can be purchased as an additional layer of protection against threats.

In any case, if you trust Norton and want to have a powerful antivirus on your computer, then we would recommend thinking about buying Norton 360. The VPN service will be built into it, and you certainly should not forget about it.
