Norton VPN Review

"Norton is a scammy purveyor of snake oil. I would not touch anything they sell or even give you for free with a very long barge pole."

"Stop using Norton, it is a scam"

"Nice! yeah Norton is garbage. Bamboo's way better and doesn't nag you constantly."

"FUCK YOU NORTON... Turning on the VPN broke connectivity I was using to restore theu my local network. Even after I said it was a home network. Why is your software so damned horrible?! https://t.co/nV2dAlLAXW"

"bonjour gerard meme probleme de mon cote mon petit fils m a installe norton vpn premium la becane est repartie comme hamilton amities nono"

"Norton Secure VPN reviews 2026: Honest feedback I recently got Norton Secure VPN as part of a security bundle, and I didn't think much of it until I saw the auto-renewal charge. It was way higher than I expected, and now I'm having a massive headache trying to cancel and get a refund. Their customer service is making it incredibly difficult, and I'm starting to wonder if this is just a cash grab bundled with their antivirus. I'm behind on bills and I need to cover rent and utilities this month, so this unexpected charge is a huge problem. Is Norton Secure VPN even a real, functional VPN, or ..."

"An Issue I had when I first got an MSI gaming laptop was that it came pre-installed with a Norton “Gaming VPN” which caused me to disconnect from game servers almost instantly. I’d check your device for something like that. Also how far away is your router from your pc if there are lots of walls in between the range can be exponentially be cut. Especially with the amount of bandwidth gaming requires and make sure the tips of your antennas are pointed directly up and not at your device. I’d also check how many devices you have connected to your WiFi and if it’s a lot try turning s..."

"I had Norton 360 anyway as antivirus, which comes with a VPN. It costs me £30 a year for both and has the additional bonus of getting rid of adverts on YouTube if I set my location to certain countries like Albania. Its worth every penny."

"Also I would not use Norton"

">If you have say Norton, then it already has a VPN, you just need to turn it on See its things like this that are the real problem when it comes to privacy, you can't complain about the OSA then recommend people use something like Norton that shares your data with its parent company Gen Digital. The sooner people realise that the OSA, like most laws, is just about catching the low hanging fruit, and that true privacy on the clearnet is impossible the better."

"as somebody who works at a certain big box store that pre-installs that software at checkout I always hit skip because nobody needs Norton or McAfee get Microsoft 365 if you're going to be using word Excel or PowerPoint It comes with Windows defender or go with literally any other antivirus or vpn"

"I work in a computer shop in Oz, same as OP. The worst I have seen is a 1 year, 1 device Norton product sold to an unwitting customer for about $450 AUD. Some older people simply feel safer with it, and there's plenty of people out there who just cannot help but click links and have poor capacity for comprehending scams, half truths, and manipulation. A system that can have a built in email spam-blocker, ad-blocker, password manager, unlimited VPN, and/or Internet banking protection can be surprisingly helpful for a lot of people. When in this situation we have good deals with suppliers usua..."

"If this is a popup in a web browser, its just scare tactic advertising (also possibly a scam but I wouldnt put it past the actual Norton to pull this shit either) If this is a popup from a program running on your computer, **you are infected, and that is literally the virus**"

"I found similar posts in the antivirus sub with the same exact popup from Norton and McAfee. According to them it's a scam www . reddit . com/r/antivirus/comments/1opoeu8/norton\_antivirus\_ad\_went\_full\_on\_spam\_route\_holy/ www . reddit . com/r/antivirus/comments/1f1ztsz/this\_feels\_fake/ https://preview.redd.it/1vq3h99sysbg1.png?width=561&format=png&auto=webp&s=bd020f806523e071c6071a5b327518b2205ade9f"

"It's alright I used to not know as well...just search a good VPN app (Norton os the best) and open the app and go to the connection section....you will find the on anf off button..change the location to UK and that's all. 😁"

"The virus is Norton 360, tbh I haven't seen a world where most people need anything besides windows defender for a very long time. As most have pointed out, running torrents without a vpn won't get you hacked, just a letter."

"Reinstall the OS and keep Norton off it."

"If you know how to use Norton- it's one of the best out there. Spiking as someone with 25 years in Cyber security."

"I've used Norton for almost 40 years. I've NEVER had to rebuild a PC because it's a virus. They are one of the oldest and strongest security systems, even if the pop-ups have gotten stupid in recent years. I've been in IT since 1983, and have find it very reliable. You have to have antiviral software anyway, and the VPN comes with. It works, it reliable, so why pay more?"

"Norton might block known viruses and malware, but that’s about it. In my opinion, it’s basically bloatware. I seriously doubt their VPN is truly no-logs. Mullvad, on the other hand, costs around $6 a month, doesn’t log anything, and focuses on real privacy. Norton Antivirus is pretty much useless, to be honest."

"Avast_av qui veut devenir revendeur Norton ? Wtf C'est de la m*rd*. Sur un pc windows, defender fait le taf et les pro auront un edr."

"@Norton what have you done to your Norton 360 and NordVPN? Both keep disconnecting Fix this or I want a refund on my subscriptions 🤬"

"I’ll try to log in and I have done so but the only way to get in is to pay for another subscription! I have case numbers and transaction numbers of the bouncing around I’ve had to endure. If your tech didn’t tell me to delete the program and reinstall mane, just maybe? I could’ve gotten my $104 and $60 reimbursed. I was going to reinstall and give you a chance had they not just bounced me out of there. You have the names and I only purchased on January 16, 2025 and had difficulty setting up the One+. You won’t believe what they told me about my iMac being incompatible with your antiv..."

"Remember Norton has you covered mother f er they are tough on Bluetooth cant figure out why yet 😉 Go Norton 360 VPN on your phone for sure ."

"Does norton VPN affect xbox? Any Thoughts? I’m currently using my family’s Norton antivirus and VPN plan, but honestly, it feels more like a hassle than help. The constant popups are overwhelming, and it doesn’t seem to be doing much. Any time I try to take extra steps to protect my privacy, it just asks for more money. I’ve been thinking about switching to a separate VPN service just for my computer, but money’s a bit tight at the moment. Since I’m pretty new to all this, I’m not sure if it’s really worth the investment. Is Norton as bad as it seems, or is it actually fine f..."

"Is this warning a ploy to get to download Norton VPN?? I never had a subscription but it says I need to renew it because it says "18 VIRUSES HAVE INFECTED YOUR MAC!" and it also said "IMMEDIATE ACTION IS REQUIRED!" The fishy part is that it said "Please renew your Norton antivirus subscription to keep your Mac protected!" I haven't downloaded anything obviously malicious."

"I was going to download Fallout NV, but I didn't understand which parts to download besides the main parts. I'd rather use qBittorrent, but the last times I've tried, it just gets stuck on trying to download metadata. I've tried changing my Norton VPN to P2P and a few other things I found online but nothing helped. It used to work months ago. Then I had to reinstall Windows, and it hasn't worked since."

"Norton VPN reviews 2026: Is it legit or scam? I bought the Norton 360 security suite for the antivirus, and it automatically installed Norton Secure VPN. I didn't ask for it, and now it seems to be running in the background all the time, and my internet is noticeably slower. I tried to uninstall just the VPN part, but it looks like it's tied into the whole 360 suite, and I'm worried about breaking my antivirus if I mess with it. I have a time sensitive situation and I'm trying to pick something quickly without getting burned. I just want my internet speed back. Has anyone successfully disabl..."

"Norton 360 vpn keeps shutting off my internet Every time I connect to my VPN on my laptop I lose internet connection after about 30 seconds. How do I keep this from happening? "

"I had a similar issue with a different Norton product and it took a few days of back and forth to finally cancel. It was annoying, but I did eventually get my money back after pushing them."

"It's best to not use Norton . Maybe try some other good antivirus."

"Norton bad, Proton good. ID bad, VPN good. But... Porn good? Who am i too judge."

"Tanto com o Nord e com o VPN da Norton não funciona pra mim… alguém tem alguma luz do que fazer? Estou no exterior tbm"

"The comments here are embarrassing and only shows how many people think they're smart for buying a PC but have no idea what PC Master Race actually means. This is a perfect example of not knowing the difference between "free" consumer BS products that steal all your data and *professional* products. This isn't just antivirus. It's antivirus, VPN, cloud storage, and lifelock monitoring. The antivirus and cloud storage value are worthless, but the VPN and Lifelock monitoring are NOT cheap. The VPN alone is worth the price when Norton is one of the cheaper VPNs and this is a huge discount on the..."

"AVG and Norton are huge resource hogs. Only third party program I used and would recommend is bit defender as others have suggested. It also has a VPN built in"

"I mean most companies straight mine on your computer by various modules. Either be a database update, and you think "Yeah, am safe" or OS on, by masking options, so on. Norton Crypto was the most honest when they said "We mine, nobody wins". I guess since it's birth, it became a prodigy and now a worldwide propaganda. All at the speed of a snail. You're most likely to stay safe by limitating to companies who doesn't contract Google directly. Such as Kaspersky/Private SRL's. You ain't hidden by a VPN, nor a fingerprinting browser nor as well, a entire network stack layer. Or recently, by AdGuar..."

"Yes, for the past years I’ve been using NordVPN it has really gone downhill. Basically the Norton of VPN’s now. I will be switching to something better as soon as my subscription ends."

"@kunocaver I have Norton VPN on my mobile phone. Very effective."

"@DerylLynn I have a VPN subscription in my Norton Security Settings, it's so easy, just pick any country you want and turn it on."

"@BootsBinx I am. I just got a message that a nasty virus tried to get into my computer. My Norton VPN stopped it. Harlow."

"@_denisesalcedo @BustedOpenRadio @TheMarkHenry You said about vpn i use norton vpn but after 2 plus hours always get kick out on netflix yesterday right before damian fight got kick out gonna watch today, do you have same issue?"

"Norton upgraded its VPN in 2025 with faster 25 Gbps servers in major cities and independent security audits, and plans to add the faster WireGuard protocol to Apple devices in early 2026 to boost speed and privacy for iPhone and Mac users."

"I just tried again on Firefox with Norton vpn and I got through to inputting the code from my email but then comes up with “something went wrong” again. Any ideas?"

"I just did a free trial of Norton vpn. It was a little slow to get the match up but once it was, it streamed fine."

"Norton VPN Review in 2026: Is This Good? I recently tried out Norton VPN since it was included with my Norton 360 plan. I was not actively looking for a VPN, but I was comparing hotel prices while planning a trip and remembered people on Reddit mentioning that changing regions can sometimes affect pricing. Since it was already installed, I figured it was worth a quick test. Using it was surprisingly simple. I just opened the Norton app, turned on the VPN, and selected a different country. I tested servers in France and Canada and both connected quickly without any errors. There were no pop u..."

"Need rewuired with Norton vpn windows 10 Sorry if it's a stupid or simple thing to fix but I am not like a genius, I am doing this to help my dad. I genuinely don't know what I am doing and it would mean alot if u could help!! My dad got this Norton vpn subscription and for soem reaosn it says like u should go upgrade to windows 11 or something. If you know how to fix this PLEASEE explain in simple detailed steps bcz I GENUINELY don't know what to do <\33 and no we dont live in india"

"It's still not working after I deleted Norton aswell as got a new VPN and turned off windows defenderer and reinstalled qbittorrent. What do I need to do?!? And it's not hardware related cus like 100gb game on steam took me like 2-3hours. Thumbnail: https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/ud4Seg2yO0q8jCNIS_b-YCF-hzuZJUfXrdTJrOTocfw.jpg "

"I want to protect my wifi and NAS. And heard that you can block ads by the router, to clean up TV from ads and all. It's more for the convenience and for some added security with possibly no cost. Not gonna buy some another program like Norton. :D it did bring some peace of mind for the sale price I was okay to try it, but I used their manager the most. VPN was surprisingly good with speed and enough servers for my use."

"so yeah as other people are saying it depends, if it is a government or ISP Geo block a VPN will most likely bypass it, that is unless your ISP has blocked VPN port forwarding. Recommendations? i recommend ProtonVPN or Norton (Proton is the best free option)"

"Yeah VPNs have been around for some time. If you have say Norton, then it already has a VPN, you just need to turn it on or off. They made it so easy that a child could do it."
