Norton 360 Advanced VPN reconnect after restarting setting does not work

I find that the VPN included in Norton 360 Advanced gets blocked by many sites, including YouTube, so I often have to disable it then enable it again for other sites.

My query is that there is an option in VPN settings to reconnect after restarting and this does not work despite being set to on, as shown in the screenshot below.

Any advice on how to resolve this would be gratefully received.

Thanks.

Are you wanting to run the VPN all the time? Have you manually turned on the VPN? Then when you restart the computer, the connection should reconnect.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I use the VPN all the time, only turning it off for sites that block it, then turning it on again when I leave those sites. However, sometimes I forget to turn it on again before I shut down the PC and have to remember to turn the VPN on again when I turn the PC back on.

I thought enabling the reconnect after restarting meant that even if the VPN was turned off when the PC was shut down, it would automatically turn on and reconnect when the PC is next started.

Have I misunderstood the function of this setting?

Thanks.
