I'm having issues with Norton Hotspot with an iPod gen 5 running ios 7.1. I'm able to download the software and install it on my personal network, and able to get it to work that way.
I'm not able to remove and download a certificate and get it to work on an open network afterward, like I think it was designed for.
My 2 cents are that the program is advertised as though you can use it at Starbucks or another location with open wifi. My comment is that it doesn't work that way in reality with my ios device. From discussions with the support group, hasn't been tested that way, and the Norton team it isn't allowed to have it tested that way.
My challenge to you is this:
1. Set up Norton Hotspot on your network on an iPod 5th gen.
2. Go out to lunch and grab a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
3. Use the wifi using norton hotspot on the same iPod.
4. Go to your local office depot and do the same.
5. Leave me instructions on how to make it work.
Best of wishes... my how the world has changed in a few short years!
