Norton ConnectSafe was a free, DNS-based web filtering service provided by Symantec that allowed users to block malicious sites, phishing attempts, and inappropriate content. It was officially retired and shut down on November 15, 2018, meaning the service no longer functions, and any remaining DNS settings must be removed to avoid browsing issues.

Remove Norton ConnectSafe settings

It is confusing to see active results for a dead service, but the reason DNS Jumper reports times for Norton ConnectSafe is that its “Fastest DNS” test primarily measures network latency (ping) to the IP address rather than performing a full DNS resolution query.

  • IP-Based Ping vs. DNS Query: DNS Jumper sends an ICMP echo request (ping) to the IP addresses listed in your .ini file . Even if the DNS software on that server is shut down, the hardware (server/router) at that IP address may still be online and configured to automatically respond to pings.
  • Reassigned IP Addresses: Although Norton retired the service in 2018, the parent company (Gen Digital Inc.) still owns these IP blocks. Some of these IPs may have been repurposed for other internal networking tasks that still respond to basic pings, even though they no longer “speak” the DNS protocol.
  • Inaccurate Benchmarking: Because ping only measures how long a packet takes to reach the server and back, it does not confirm if the server actually successfully translated a website name (like google.com) into an IP address.

=============================================

DNS Jumper lists Norton ConnectSafe primarily because its internal database hasn’t been scrubbed of retired services in recent updates. While the tool itself is still compatible with modern Windows versions, the inclusion of ConnectSafe is essentially a “legacy” entry for a service that no longer works.

IP addresses 199.85.127.10 and 199.85.126.10 were the Norton ConnectSafe “Policy A” servers, which were retired alongside the entire service on November 15, 2018.

They still appear in DNS Jumper 2.3 because that version’s built-in server list was finalized before these IPs were officially decommissioned by Norton.

Edit the INI: Close the app and open DnsJumper.ini in Notepad. You can manually delete any sections titled [Norton ConnectSafe] [Norton DNS] to stop them from appearing.

Yes, all public DNS IP addresses previously associated with Norton ConnectSafe have been officially decommissioned.

The service was permanently retired on November 15, 2018, after Norton (then Symantec) shifted its business focus away from free public DNS.

As you found in your DnsJumper.ini, the following IP blocks are no longer active for DNS resolution:
