Use IP Rotation in Norton VPN to update your IP address randomly

Applicable for: Android;Mac;Windows;iOS

The IP Rotation feature in Norton VPN automatically changes your IP address regularly to help prevent tracking, avoid targeted ads, and increase anonymity. It improves your anonymity by masking your real IP address and making it harder for third parties to track or profile you. It can also help you access more diverse and accurate data and content online, as some websites may show different results based on your IP address. 

Key Considerations for IP Rotation

›

  • IP Rotation provides a high level of online security and anonymity. It is recommended that you use your regular country or city-level locations to connect to your VPN for casual browsing activities

  • IP Rotation is not optimized for streaming services

  • Since IP Rotation changes your IP address every time you visit a new website, you may see an impact on the VPN performance

  • If a website does not load while using IP Rotation, you can change to your regular country locations to connect to your VPN

Downloading large files may take longer time or fail when you use IP Rotation.
