VPN cannot activate

Why does my Norton VPN say, "No Internet connection," thereby not allowing activation of VPN on my new Mac mini M1?  I can assure you that I DO have Internet, as this message is proof.  Yet the "Secure VPN" is grayed out, and the "Turn on" button is white and cannot be clicked on.  I have the latest "Norton 360" installed on my new Mac mini M1, and the OS is the latest version, too.  Please help.
