Norton 360 VPN is dropping frequently for no reason
iPhone13 pro
IOS26.5

Hello @Louis_Quatorze

If a user reports that Norton 360 VPN is dropping frequently on an iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 26.5, a few things are worth checking before assuming it’s a Norton-side issue:

1. Confirm the VPN is actually disconnecting

• Settings → VPN
• Check whether the VPN status changes from Connected to Not Connected, or whether only internet access is interrupted while the VPN remains connected.

2. Test different networks

• Does it happen on Wi-Fi, cellular, or both?
• If only on one Wi-Fi network, the router or ISP may be contributing.

3. Check VPN protocol/location

• Try changing the VPN region/location.
• Some exit IPs can experience congestion or reputation-related filtering that may cause reconnects.

4. Look for iOS network changes

• Frequent switching between Wi-Fi and cellular can trigger VPN reconnections.
• Low Power Mode or unstable signal conditions can sometimes contribute as well.

5. Update app and device

• Verify the latest Norton 360 iOS app version is installed.
• Confirm iOS 26.5 is fully up to date with any supplemental updates.

Questions I’d want answered before drawing conclusions:

• Does the VPN disconnect completely, or does it reconnect automatically after a few seconds?
• Does it occur on Wi-Fi, cellular, or both?
• Is Auto-Connect enabled?
• Is Private Relay enabled (if using iCloud+)?
• Approximately how often are the drops occurring—every few minutes, hourly, or only occasionally?

Dropping frequently for no reason is a valid symptom report, but there isn’t enough information to determine whether the cause is the VPN service, the network, iOS, or the device.
