Otherwise, this has become one of my favorite user experiences with a VPN client. This occurs in both the Windows and Mac version of the app, and IPVanish's site advises a reinstall. My only complaint is that IPVanish's desktop clients have been known to get in a loading loop. On the plus side, the application comes with a built-in ad-tracking blocker.Ī big win for IPVanish is its fun, configurable interface, which makes it an ideal client for beginners who are interested in learning what a VPN does under the hood. That's more than you should be paying for something that doesn't disguise your location, doesn't support Netflix and drags on speed. The most expensive is the 10-device annual plan for $60. The least expensive plan is $35 annually (for the first year), which allows only one device at a time. Depending on your subscription, you can opt for one, five or 10 simultaneous connections. Norton Secure VPN is only available on the four main platforms - Windows, Android, Mac and iOS. We likewise recommend looking elsewhere if you want a VPN that allows torrenting, can be used on a wide variety of devices, or can be paid for in Bitcoin.
So if you're looking for a VPN that will allow you to access your normal media subscriptions while traveling, we recommend seeking a different VPN for now. This also led to difficulties accessing Netflix. Norton also didn't mask my IPv6 address, and I experienced DNS leaks during testing - major security red flags from a product that is supposed to mask your browsing activity. I'd generally consider a lack of kill switch a deal breaker. Norton offers what it calls bank-grade encryption - standard AES-256 - but offers no kill switch, which would prevent network data from leaking outside of its secure VPN tunnel in the event the VPN connection fails. So if you're looking for a VPN to use while traveling in China, you may want to consider a different option. Norton's Hong Kong servers dragged down overall speed scores, averaging just 6Mbps. But unlike many other VPNs, Norton doesn't allow you to choose the city you connect to - only the country. In terms of speed, Norton's are on par with other midtier VPNs: During my testing, it achieved only about 43% of the average 187-megabits-per-second speed achieved on a 1-gigabit-per-second-capable fiber connection during testing, while still maintaining an average of around 81Mbps globally. But with limited server options and a few deal breaker security issues, it's clear that the Norton Secure VPN from NortonLifeLock still has some work to do before it can meet the high standards set by its sibling security products. There are few more familiar names in information security than Norton and LifeLock.
