Watch your favorite shows from home with Norton VPN
Summary
Stream from anywhere: Norton VPN masks your location so you can watch your favorite shows from home on the go.
Foolproof solution: With double VPN, IP rotation, and more than 100 global servers, your true location is more difficult to detect.
Affordable packages: Three Norton VPN plans start from $3.33/month, with extra features including antivirus, scam detection, password management, encrypted cloud storage, and parental controls.
Using a virtual private network (VPN) is most commonly associated with protecting your privacy and staying safe on public Wi-Fi. But VPNs also provide an excellent solution for improving accessibility to the streaming services you already subscribe to, and Norton’s latest version is an effective, affordable way to augment your online streaming. There is a range of extras you can bundle in for just a few dollars more, too.
Unfortunately, the streaming experience isn’t consistent around the world. Different territories have access to different streaming services and different content on those services. That makes mainlining episodes of your favorite show every night a bit tricky when you’re travelling for work or vacation. Did you know you can use a VPN to keep watching your favorites, no matter where you are?
Be where you want to be
One of the neatest aspects of using a VPN is that you can decide where you appear to be. So if you’re holidaying in Europe, you can use a VPN like Norton’s to make it seem as if you’re in the US. So you can still get on to your favorite streaming platform and watch your favorite shows like normal. The same goes for new film releases you were excited for. No need to miss out if you’re out of the country. Just set your location back to home and whatever you could watch there, you can watch it wherever you are.
The IP masking effectively hides where you are, which is what makes VPNs so good for protecting your privacy, too. As far as whatever streaming service you’re watching is concerned, you’re located wherever the VPN says you are. You could be working on a remote research station in the Antarctic, dodging penguins and snow drifts, and still have access to all the latest releases from back home.
Additional security protection
With the Norton VPN Standard package, you can get the full VPN functionality for the equivalent of just $3.33 a month for the first year thanks to a 50% off discount. That gets you protection and easier streaming on up to five different devices. Find a streaming service has clocked you’re using a VPN? There’s a built-in double VPN service with IP rotation to make your real location more difficult to detect.
For a handful of useful extras, the Norton VPN Plus package is at 54% off right now, with the equivalent of $4.17 a month for the first year. Along with the standard VPN features, you also get Norton’s effective Antivirus software, AI-powered scam-detection with its new Genie service, a secure password manager, and 10GB of encrypted cloud-backup service.
If you’re part of a larger family you want to protect, or you have a number of devices on which you want to use the VPN, the Norton VPN Ultimate package is equivalent to $5 per month for the first year, and gives you support for up to 10 simultaneous devices. It also has a selection of robust parental controls you can take advantage of, and with a handy device finder for all the kids’ smart gadgets and devices.
Whichever package is right for you, Norton the VPN is effective and easy to use. If you’re finding yourself frustrated by streaming roadblocks, particularly when travelling, a VPN like Norton’s might be the way to go.

© 2025 ITBrief 11:45pm How Norton’s AI Genie is helping to block the latest AI scams
Summary
Scammers are using AI to deliver more sophisticated, highly targeted attacks.
Norton is fighting AI with AI, combining its formidable antivirus, and a firewall, with AI-powered Genie Scam Protection.
The Genie Scam Assistant provides instant reassurance with on-demand answers to all your security questions.
It feels like overnight AI has ended up just about everywhere. From deepfakes and ChatGPT homework, to em-dashes and political misinformation, keeping on top of the latest AI trends is almost impossible. Unfortunately, that also means it’s hard to stay protected from the latest AI scams and phishing attacks. They’re constantly evolving and that can make them more dangerous than ever.
If you’re keen to find a way to protect yourself from fake calls from ‘relatives’, or the latest AI-enhanced phishing text messages, Norton 360 might be the tool for you. Alongside classic defensive measures like real-time antivirus and a smart firewall, it now comes equipped with Genie Scam Protection. This anti-scam tool uses AI to fight AI, and can detect scams before you’ve even had a chance to read through one.
How can you tell if a text message is a scam?
Got a suspicious SMS message? Genie’s AI engine can detect a scam and warn you before you even open it. Encountered an image you think might be a deepfake, or an offer in an email that seems to good to be true? Genie is just a click away with useful advice and the ability to scan for scams, so you’re never caught out by nefarious actors ever again.
Now standard in all Norton packages from its base AntiVirus Plus, right up to the Deluxe and Select Plus options, Genie is there to help protect against the ever evolving threat landscape, including the latest in AI scams. That helps prevent you becoming the victim of some of the more personal attacks that malware makers are using these days, leveraging the power of AI to quickly change and personalize their scams to make them more effective than ever.
Norton 360 with Genie Scam Protection
With at least 50% off on all standard Norton 360 packages at the time of writing, you can pick up the base Norton AntiVirus Plus package for the equivalent of just $2.50 per month for the first year. That gives you antivirus protection, a robust password manager for saving all your most important login data, and Genie scam protection. It does only cover one device, though, so if you want to make sure you’re protected against AI scams across your phone as well as your laptop, tablet, and any other devices (not to mention those of your wider family), then there are other options available.
You can add additional features with more advanced packages, too, such as secure cloud backups, a VPN for anonymous web browsing, dark web monitoring, enhanced parental controls, and real-time monitoring of your credit rating and finances. They come at a steeper cost, but even the top Select Plus package which covers 10 devices at a time is less than $10 a month equivalent for the first year.
Regardless of which package works for you, though, each comes complete with Genie anti-scam protection to make sure you and your loved ones don’t have to fear the rising issue of AI attacks.
