User Testimonials
	Norton VPN	OpenVPN Access Server
Likelihood to Recommend	If you are looking for a VPN, Norton Secure VPN is an easy to use and affordable solution. Highly recommended to use in combination with Norton 360 for easy integration and one price Incentivized Kevin Brackett President Read full review	We used it to connect our two offices together. It aids in secure file transfer for remote users. Some of the 3rd party software is only allowed to run on specific IP addresses due to the license and this is a way that remote users can utilize that software without being on-site Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Protects personal data Secures information Allows testing of software in other regions Incentivized Kevin Brackett President Read full review	Secure Easy setup 2 free users automatic updates Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	There are no clear instructions on how to use Wireguard Weak P2P support The network is quite small Incentivized Mark Key Shipping Read full review	some times error logs are not clear Configuring 3rd party apps can sometimes be problematic Limited functionality for iPhone users, but I believe that is due to an apple issue.
