It depends on how Norton's VPN is configured. If it redirects all traffic through their server ( uses default gateway on their server) you shouldn't be able to connect to your local resources. If local traffic is going through your local gateway (your router) then you could access your local resources. It seems that Norton uses this second configuration since it will cause less problems for most of their users.

Hi @Gayathri_R,

I just checked and have received the update to the VPN here in Australia (even though the announcement is for US only).  First two things I noticed were that it no longer uses Powershell to open and it opens much quicker.

Nice!  yes

@peterweb, has this update solved the VPN not starting for you?  I hope so anyway.

Cheers.
