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 rerouted. 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 usual country- or city-level locations to connect to your VPN for casual browsing.

  • Double VPN is not optimized for streaming services.

  • Since Double VPN changes your IP address twice, you may notice a performance impact. 

  • 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
