Norton VPN launches VPN for Agents – and it's the 'first truly AI-native, multi-tunnel VPN for AI agents'

Norton VPN has launched VPN for Agents, a dedicated tool designed specifically for autonomous AI agents.

Unlike the best VPNs, which protect the device and network that an agent operates through, VPN for Agents creates a separate encrypted tunnel for agent traffic, keeping it distinct from your own browsing activity and giving you greater control over where agents connect and what they access.

This is the first consumer VPN of its kind to support multiple simultaneous tunnels across different countries, meaning agents can operate across several regions at once. It requires no downloads or client setup, and is built on Norton VPN's existing secure infrastructure.

VPN for Agents is another example of Norton VPN's recent feature drive. As noted in our Norton VPN review, the provider has been rolling out advanced capabilities at pace, including multi-hop connections, IP rotation, and its proprietary Mimic stealth protocol.

What VPN for Agents does

VPN for Agents introduces what Norton VPN describes as "multiple tunnel technology" – the ability to run AI agents simultaneously across different countries. This addresses a practical limitation of traditional VPNs, which weren't designed to handle the high-frequency, multi-service communication patterns that autonomous agents generate.

Where a standard VPN routes all traffic (yours and your agent's) through a single tunnel tied to one location, VPN for Agents separates that traffic entirely.

Your agent gets its own encrypted connection, its own IP address, and the ability to operate across regions without affecting your personal browsing. Norton VPN says this also helps reduce tracking and profiling of agent activity, and can deliver more consistent results when agents need to access region-specific content or services.

"With VPN for Agents, we've delivered two industry firsts: multi-tunnel technology that lets agents operate independently across different countries simultaneously, and an AI-native architecture that requires zero installation," said Norton VPN Product Lead, Himmat Bains.

"These weren't incremental improvements – they required us to rethink what a VPN can be. This is all while we continue with our Norton VPN roadmap with many exciting updates due in the coming weeks," Bains added.

Why is Norton VPN doing this?

As AI agent adoption has grown, so has the security gap – traditional VPNs weren't built to distinguish between a person's traffic and an agent's, or to control where agents connect independently.

Norton VPN isn't the first to move in this direction. In April, Windscribe launched a native VPN integration for OpenClaw, giving AI agents autonomous control – though that solution requires CLI installation and manual configuration, making it better suited to technically confident users.

Norton VPN's no-download approach positions VPN for Agents as the more accessible option for mainstream consumers.

Gen Digital's Chief AI Innovation Officer Howie Xu said: "As people embrace AI agents and use them to manage more of their digital lives, they deserve security and privacy that keep pace."

How to sign up

VPN for Agents is available now, though access is currently limited. To sign up, visit ai.gendigital.com/agentvpn – no software download or client installation is required.

Once registered, you'll receive an access token and setup instructions. Norton VPN says the VPN works with any AI agent, and you don't need an active Norton VPN subscription to sign up.
