First, Norton VPN made massive improvements to its service that, in our recently revised in-depth review, we described as offering the kind of "solid security, easy-to-use apps, and fast connections for browsing, streaming, torrenting, and gaming" that we'd expect to see in the best VPNs.
Then, it dropped one of the most eye-catching VPN deals on the market, tempting Tom's Guide readers in with prices starting from only $2.50/month — a price not available anywhere else on the internet.
That was all very well for those in need of extra cybersecurity, IP spoofing and overseas streaming in North America and Australia, but rather left out folks in the U.K.
Thankfully, that Great Britain-shaped omission has been rectified, with Norton now presenting exclusive discounts to users dwelling in that particular green and pleasant land that brings the price of its premium plans down to as low as £2.50/month!
Plus, Norton's all-singing all-dancing Ultimate plan is also reduced, to only £2.90/month.

5 reasons why Brits (and anybody else) need a VPN
There's a whole host of VPN uses and reasons why you might need one if you're in the U.K. — although, in truth, they apply no matter where you are in the world. Here are just five:
- Watching British TV — Try to stream your favorite shows when on holiday, and you'll soon find that you can't due to rights reasons. Log in to Norton VPN and select a U.K. server and you'll soon unblock the likes of "Eastenders" (BBC iPlayer), "Love Island" (ITVX) and "The Great British Bake Off" (Channel 4) from all corners of the Earth.
- Protect your online anonymity — Online privacy is at the core of what VPNs do. By encrypting all of your internet traffic and masking your IP address, they help ensure that no advertisers, hackers or governments can snoop on your online activity. Indeed, Norton VPN features like Double VPN and IP Rotation go even further on that front.
- Prioritise U.K. news content — Head to the BBC website or even your favorite search engine when abroad and you'll discover that the results are localized to the country you're in. Switch on your VPN, however, and you can make sure you experience the internet in the same way you do when back in Blighty.
- Watching your favorite sports — While it's perfectly understandable that they might not show the Six Nations in Mexico, cricket Test matches in France or the Grand National in the Seychelles, it's a pity to have to miss out. Like regular TV above, Norton VPN will get you access to your usual sports live streams when abroad.
- Safely use public Wi-Fi — You may have heard horror stories about people on holiday or away on business becoming the victim of data theft by using the public Wi-Fi in a hotel, bar or airport. Using a VPN will encrypt all the traffic going to and from your device so that, even if your connection is intercepted, the details will be totally unreadable and useless to any criminal.
Is Norton VPN any good?
Yes! Norton VPN is "remarkably good" according to our expert testing team. Our recent retest of the software lauds its "solid security, easy-to-use apps, and fast connections for browsing, streaming, torrenting, and gaming".
With Norton VPN Plus you can protect up to five devices on one plan with rock-solid encryption and fast speeds. A kill switch, password manager, 10GB secure cloud backup, and threat protection are all included, along with Double VPN and IP Rotation. Thanks to Tom's Guide's exclusive deal, the one-year plan now costs $2.50/month ($30 upfront, down from $110) in the U.S and Canada, £2.50/month in the U.K. (£29.99 upfront, down from £79.99) and AU$5/month (AU$60 upfront, down from AU$145) in Australia.
Or go all out with an Norton VPN Ultimate plan. Designed with families in mind, it increases the device limit to 10 and cloud storage to 50GB, and adds in parental controls that give you greater powers over what your kids can access online. Our exclusive discount brings the one-year price down to $3.33/month ($40 upfront, down from $130) in the U.S and Canada, £2.90/month (£34.99 upfront, down from £94.99) in the U.K. and AU$6.66/month (AU$80 upfront, down from AU$235) in Australia.
