The VPN keeps losing connection, forcing me to turn it off and on manually.
Login Issues

Every time I close the app, I am logged out and have to sign in again.
Subscription Confusion

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The VPN is horrible, sometimes my phone stops being connected to the web. Secondly, if I leave my house with the VPN on and try to stream, I have to delete the app for the VPN to stop messing with my geolocation unless I am able to connect to another WiFi to turn it off.

I have purchased Norton virus protection for my phone for $116.04, and I'm having trouble with it. Not happy!
LQueenie00
I have successfully set up Norton 360 to protect my text messages, yet Norton tells me it is not setup. I wish someone would fix this so I know if it is setup up as shown by the directions, or if Norton has problems that need fixing!
