Use Double VPN to protect your information from online tracking
Double VPN is an advanced security feature that routes your online traffic through two VPN servers, thereby providing greater privacy and anonymity.
The feature works by initially encrypting data from your device and routing it through a remote VPN server. The data is then sent through a second VPN server and then re-routed. This process hides your online activity behind two servers, doubling the security of your data.
Key Considerations for Double VPN
-
Double VPN provides a high level of online security and privacy. It is recommended that you use your regular country or city-level locations to connect to your VPN for casual browsing activities.
-
Double VPN is not optimized for streaming services.
-
Since Double VPN changes your IP address twice, you may see an impact on the VPN performance.
-
If a website does not load while using Double VPN, you can change to your regular country locations to connect to your VPN
To use the Double VPN feature in Norton VPN, depending on your operating system, follow the steps below:
Windows or Mac

On the Norton dashboard, do one of the following, depending on your VPN plan:

-
Android or iOS

Launch Norton VPN.

On the Norton VPN screen, tap the drop-down list at the bottom.
