Issue abstract:torrent optimized p2p region is no longer an option

Detailed description: I normally use the p2p region, needed to switch to fastest region, when I was ready to switch back, p2p is not an option. Now p2p doesn’t allow connections when the vpn is on.

Product & version number: December 2024 update

OS details: android 10

What is the error message you are seeing?

If you have any supporting screenshots, please add them:

I notice that the P2P region is no longer included in both Android and iOS versions of the Norton VPN. At the moment, it is still included in the Windows version.

Have you tried other regions to see if any allow you to use P2P?

I’ve tried them all, especially the Netherlands, which is where the P2P region option is located. Unfortunately, all of the regions block P2P traffic. This is the same behavior as the Windows version, P2P works on the P2P region, but none of the others. The P2P region was recently added to the Windows version. If they end of removing it altogether, I will need to move on to a competitor that supports P2P.

I’ll escalate this thread to try to get an answer as to whether the removal of P2P region is deliberate/permanent.

Any word on whether the removal of the torrent optimized p2p region is intentional / permanent?

Unfortunately, forum escalations are not always very quick. It takes time to go from the forum admin to the appropriate team, and then the team needs to look into the request and find the answer. Then if the team decides it is appropriate to pass the information back to the forum, it gets passed along again. Sometimes the information gets posted in the thread where the escalation originated.

I’ll let you know if I hear anything.

Keeping the conversation active, my tablet received an update today. Still no P2P region.

Another update from the Play store today, still no restoration of the P2P region. NordVPN and ExpressVPN both support P2P. Is Norton trying to lose customers?
