Advice Request Is Secure VPN needed with Norton Mobile Security

[JB007]

Hello,
I installed "Norton Mobile Security" on my iPhone and if my understanding is correct with this app there is a VPN who protects me ? So my question: is it necessary to install also "Secure VPN" ?
Thanks for your help.

If you want to use its VPN, then yes.

Depends. Do you ever connect to public wifi? If no, then there's no need to install it. If yes, then I'd suggest installing it.

If it's free and you use public wifi, there is no harm in utilising the bundled vpn. But if you care about privacy and logs about your activities, choose something better which has no logs policy like mullvad.

The App Store does not allow Antivirus applications. Norton Security for iOS is merely Web Security. Find out more: Norton Security for iOS | Security & Virus Protection for iPhone® & iPad®

@JB007 Norton Secure VPN may be offered if your 'WiFi Security' is Orange or Red. A VPN will provide a secure and protected connection. Information is provided in the App description, or following the support pages. - ‎Norton Mobile Security

So, if my understanding is correct, it is not useful installing "Secure VPN" in addition to "Norton Mobile Security" ?

You only need a VPN when you're on public WiFi

If you already use another trusted VPN, then no point buying Secure VPN.

If you regularly connect to Public WiFi / Untrusted Hotspots without a VPN, then a VPN should be considered for your own security.

Yeah .
And AV for iOS devices is scareware.
I use warp+ for public WiFi on laptops / phones .
Used a script from GitHub for creating an Warp+ account on a laptop.

Mullvad has an iOS app now.

There are many dedicated VPNs that you can use. If you decide to invest time in a VPN, I would not suggest going for a free VPN. There are a lot of reports that free VPNs do collect your data.

Yes, the only free VPNs I read is good is Windscribe and ProtonVPN.

If you don't care about masking your location warp+ is one of the fastest .
