***** Hello.

the Norton VPN automatically activates on my phone connected to Wi-Fi on my Freebox, but I can't activate it on a computer. If I connect at my neighbor's with his SFR box, the Norton VPN activates automatically. This problem has not been resolved by Free or Norton.

Hi,
what's the problem actually?
Is Norton VPN essential? I don't think so.

Hello
it's part of the Norton product, it’s an extra security
and I just took this subscription to use public wifi while traveling to, for example, perform banking operations.
It works on my phone, I would like it to work on my laptop.
Thank you in advance if anyone has encountered this problem and found a solution.

it's not additional security, rather less ...
it's not very secure to send all your network traffic to a Norton ....
Your banking operations are already protected by TLS (https, the little padlock) in principle, like your messages on CCM and elsewhere by the way.
Practically all global traffic is under TLS today, half-assed VPNs are for the suckers.

Hi
yes, but what about using a laptop or a portable computer on public Wi-Fi abroad for this type of operation?
Is an https site + lock and an antivirus sufficient?
Because that is not at all what world travelers and specialists on this issue recommend.
They advocate using a VPN as well. Apparently, Norton VPN does not seem adequate to you.
Should we prefer to avoid using public Wi-Fi and buy a prepaid SIM card in the local country?

I have already explained everything to you, and more and more countries are blocking VPN server addresses.
Https is completely reliable, more so than remote NAT providers.
