How to disconnect from Norton VPN

To disconnect from Norton VPN, open the app on your phone or computer and toggle off the connection button to disable the VPN connection.

Is it safe to disconnect your VPN?

Disabling your VPN increases the risk of identity theft, data interception, and unauthorised access to sensitive information. Keeping it enabled ensures your data is encrypted, protecting your online activity and personal information from surveillance, cyberattacks, and tracking.

What does a VPN protect you from?

A VPN helps protect you against the risk of your internet data being intercepted and viewed by third parties. As well as encrypting the information you send and receive, VPNs also mask your IP address, which helps block third parties from tracking your online activity.

What happens if I don't use a VPN?

If you don't use a VPN, your internet traffic will be visible to your ISP when you’re browsing on your home network, and your location and identity will be exposed to the sites you visit. You’ll also be more vulnerable to third parties potentially intercepting the data you transmit, especially if you’re connected to a shared or public network.
