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.
