Configure Norton VPN protocols on your iOS device

VPN protocols are a set of rules that inform how data will be transmitted from your computer. The following protocols are supported by Norton VPN on your iOS device.

• WireGuard: Uses modern cryptography for secure, fast, and efficient connections

• IPSec: Secure network protocol suite used to secure connections between devices

• Mimic: A fast and secure protocol made by our experts to bypass VPN restrictions

Follow the below steps to enable Norton VPN protocols on your iOS device:

1. Launch Norton VPN.

2. Tap Settings on the top-right corner of the screen.

3. In the VPN Preferences screen, tap Advanced Settings.

4. In the Advanced Settings screen, you can tap one of the following protocols:

   • IPSec

     • When you select IPSec protocol, you cannot enable Kill Switch or Access Local Devices with VPN functionalities. To use or enable these features, choose either the WireGuard or Mimic protocol.

     • The Safe Web feature (available in the Norton VPN Plus or Ultimate plans) feature can be turned on only with the IPSec Protocol.

   • WireGuard

   • Mimic

     • The Kill Switch function can be enabled only when either WireGuard or Mimic protocol is selected.

     • The Access Local Devices with VPN function can be enabled only when Kill Switch is turned on.
