It slows streaming down so it is virtually unusable. I have always had Norton products, but it appears they just don't care about their VPN- and no way to really talk to someone who cares, they escalate you to the twilight zone where no contact is allowed. I measured my connection speed both with and without their VPN and the difference was ridiculous. I use their security/anti-virus with no complaints yet, it just amazes me they have such a bad VPN- I think they want you to buy their router with the VPN built in, but if it is like their VPN product, forget it.

NU Bundle with NVPN that never really worked - could not localize to single machine / kept breaking connection to non-VPN units / not intuitive overall. Changed vendor with positive results including FAR better speed. I realize I have an odd hybrid network, but the replacement VPN had no issues with that where NVPN had one problem after another, even after multiple configurations. Due to a mix of users and skill levels, what I wanted was an isolated machine with VPN cloaking on a network to operate along other machines with standard protection. Other users are nowhere near savvy enough to deal with even the simplest of issues with VPN, so it was not an option. What I got with the NVPN machine was nothing but a long series of restarts, network dropouts, User ID issues and all that comes with a new network. On occasion it worked well, but even the simplest of changes would initiate hours of adjustments and restarts. While I am sure it works for some people, NVPN was nothing more than a tedious exercise that rarely delivered for me. The rest of my Norton Bundle is fine. For generic, mid level security of consumer level machines, Norton has always been fine. It was the VPN that failed.

On a current -bit Win 10 laptop with AM A10-8700 Radeon R6 CPU, 16 GB RAM using Network Speed Test, I get 33ms delay, 219.55 Mbps download, & 231.54 Mbps Upload over fiber. With Norton Secure VPN, get 5,084 ms delay (yes, 5+ seconds), 3.01 Mbps download, and 0.09 Mbps upload. Completely unusable.
