Fix Internet connectivity problems with an app when Internet Security is turned on in Norton 360 for iOS

After updating your iOS operating system to 15.0 or later version, you may see the Internet Security feature as disabled. To fix this problem, read Fix Norton Internet Security if it is disabled after updating your iOS operating system to 15.0 or later version

The Internet Security feature in Norton 360 uses basic VPN technology to secure the Internet traffic on the device. Some services or apps may not support VPN. Sometimes, if a VPN connection is detected, the routers or firewall that the service providers use may block the Internet traffic.

To fix this problem, turn on and turn off Airplane mode. If the problem persists, uninstall and reinstall Norton 360.

From the Home screen, launch Settings.
Scroll down to the list of apps, and tap Norton 360.
