I've had no problems with this Application. When our internet goes out, I can always rely on Norton to have my back. Only thing I found annoying was, when you go into the settings / activity logs there was NEVER any activity to read. I had been hoping that the logs might have helped to point out to me a reason Why? Only my phone would often be the only device effected at times. Most times. 3 T.V.'S, boyfriend's phone never kicked off. Or 3 other devices. But like I said it was always reliable.

I recently experienced a significant security breach while using Norton's security software. Despite having a subscription, I was still vulnerable to a hack that caused [describe the damages, e.g., financial loss, data theft, etc.]. I reached out to Norton's customer support to seek a refund, given the ineffective protection. While they were polite, the process was lengthy and ultimately unsuccessful.

Always feel secure about my data and use online. Norton is my trusted source for security and VPN use. Many others out there but Norton has been around for the long haul. The only thing I would suggest is that it would be nice to have the option to select the location for the VPN server. Maybe give us a selection - fastest or other location. That would be beneficial because many times with it selecting just the fastest doesn't help for certain applications or websites.
