What the Community Says
Norton VPN comes up a lot as the “it’s already there” VPN, especially if you’re using Norton 360. People like that it’s simple to turn on, works fine on phones, and once it connects it can handle basic streaming without much fuss. It also appeals to folks who want an all-in-one antivirus + VPN bundle and don’t want to think too hard about settings.
The biggest complaints are about hassle: random disconnects (especially on Windows and some gaming setups), popups that feel pushy, and situations where sites or services treat you like a bot and block access. Billing and account issues are a sore spot too, with some people saying they got bounced around when trying to log in, manage a subscription, or get a refund. If you’re mainly getting a VPN for privacy, torrenting, or a super-smooth gaming experience, Norton VPN doesn’t sound like the most reliable pick.
Strengths
- Very easy to use
- Convenient if you already have Norton 360
- Works well on mobile
- Fine for basic streaming once connected
- All-in-one antivirus bundle option
Weaknesses
- Disconnects and stability issues (especially on Windows/gaming)
- Annoying popups and upsells
- Billing and subscription management headaches
- Refund experience can be frustrating
- Can trigger bot/blocked access on some websites
