With many of us now firmly living in a connected world, making sure our online activities stay safe from online threats is vital.

Most of us will have been familiar with using a Virtual Private Network, or VPN, before making the move to a home office, however the technology has certainly come into its own in the last few years.

A VPN is able to disguise your internet connection to your liking, making it appear to originate from a different location or even country, meaning your online activity and location should be safe from snooping. 

Norton Secure VPN offers customers a reliable and efficient way to stay more secure and private online.Covering Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices, Norton Secure VPN can help protect users when connecting to potentially risky networks, such as public Wi-Fi, which can sometimes lack the proper security protection to keep your data safe. 

Norton Secure VPN proactively identifies potentially unsafe or compromised networks, and notifies you to secure your connection when you connect to one¹, whether you're at home or on the move. If your network is compromised or your VPN connection drops, a built-in Kill Switch² will automatically disconnect your device from the Internet, helping keep your device and private information private.

Anonymous browsing can help prevent companies from tracking your online activities or location by encrypting your information.

When you are connected, the Split Tunnelling³ feature of Norton Secure VPN allows you to choose which traffic you want to encrypt to help secure and anonymize your sensitive activities, such as online banking or personal healthcare information, while letting other apps and services use your regular internet connection. And you can rest easy that no-one is tracking your online activity, as Norton Secure VPN has a no-log policy which means it doesn't track or log your online activities.

So if you’re looking for an extra security boost, then check out everything Norton Secure VPN has to offer. At £29.99 the first year for 5 devices across Windows, Mac and mobile, it could be the smarter investment you make this year.
