Stay secure with Kill Switch when changing locations on Norton VPN

When you switch your VPN from one country to another, you may witness a brief pause in your secure connection. During this short time, your device may connect to the Internet without protection, which may expose your personal information. To keep your information secure, the VPN app may show a message asking you to turn on Kill Switch.

The message will appear only when the Kill Switch option is disabled.

When Kill Switch is enabled, your device will not connect to the Internet until the VPN is back, thereby keeping your information safe. Enabling Kill Switch is an easy way to protect yourself online. So, when you see this message, it is your VPN app that helps you stay secure.

You can take any of the following actions from that prompt as per your choice.

  • Click the link Go to settings to go to the Settings screen, where you can enable the Kill Switch

  • You can skip this action and connect to the next region by clicking Connect 

  • If you do not wish to show this prompt, you may select the check box Do not show this again
