Overview

Norton WiFi Privacy is a VPN product available for mobile, Windows, and Mac devices. It offers secure encryption when connected to public wifi. Norton ensures that all data remains protected from any potential security breaches, such as cyber criminals looking to steal passwords, bank account information, credit card numbers, and other sensitive data. As a VPN, it offers anonymous internet browsing by routing all data through a secure proxy server, which means that all your information is not only secure, but it is completely private.

Features & Functionality

Simple Installation

Norton WiFi Privacy is easily downloadable and available on both Android and iOS devices, as well as Windows and Mac. The app takes a few seconds to download and install, and then all you need to do is sign into your account (or create one) and select a wifi location for secure browsing.

Bank-Grade Encryption

Boasting bank-grade encryption, Norton WiFi Privacy provides impressive encryption levels that will guarantee all data sent over public wifi remains fully protected.

VPN Locations

There are a selection of VPN locations available on the Norton WiFi Privacy app, allowing users to browse content from countries that they may have restricted access to. For example, someone looking to watch content that is exclusive to the UK can do so by connecting to the UK VPN found on the app.

Ad-Tracker Blocking

Any attempted ad-tracking software is completely blocked when browsing with Norton WiFi Privacy. This allows for faster browsing, protected data, and the removal of advertisements that clutter a webpage.

Privacy and Security

As previously mentioned, the VPN claims to offer bank-grade encryption levels, which are among the highest levels available.

This means that any time you connect to a public wifi network and want to share data, such as a photograph or log-in details to a particular account, the data will be fully protected from any cybercriminals looking to exploit unprotected information.

Furthermore, Norton WiFi Privacy is a no-log VPN, meaning that it will encrypt all data without storing or tracking any of your online activity or personal location. This will certainly appeal to anyone concerned about their personal information and online activity being logged, because the VPN offers great levels of privacy along with security.

Customer Support

As it has come to be expected from Norton, customer support for the software is exceptional. Norton offers comprehensive support services for all of its products, and their VPN is no different.
The app comes with a handy link to the support portal for Norton, and you can easily find a host of FAQs, guides, and other material on the website. Likewise, you can easily connect to the company directly to talk with a technician.

Chat support is available 24/7 and can be contacted over the phone or online, so there should never be an issue getting support!

Speed

When using a VPN, your internet speeds will slow to some degree, but Norton WiFi Privacy doesn’t appear to affect speeds too much. It’s also worth mentioning that this doesn’t really impact browsing, especially when using a mobile device.

Uploading doesn’t affect speeds, however download speeds are reduced somewhat. Luckily, this is almost undetectable, unless you are downloading something of significant size.

Ease of Use

Usability is great with this VPN. Norton has created a very easy-to-use application for all devices. Installation is simple and takes a few seconds, and then it is just a matter of selecting a wifi connection to browse from. Then you’re up and running!

The app is simple yet effective, and it clearly indicates when you are securely connected to wifi. Also, you can easily select the location of the VPN and choose which features to turn on or off.

Final Word

Norton WiFi Privacy is a great VPN client for anyone regularly browsing online with public wifi. It offers comprehensive security and is simple to use, making it very appealing to a wide base of consumers.

However, anyone that knows a thing or two about VPNs and other forms of cybersecurity may find the price doesn’t reflect the lack of diversity when compared to other providers. Still, it makes for a great introductory product that many will find useful.
