**Breaking Free from Norton VPN: A Step-by-Step Guide**
If you've come to realize that Norton VPN isn't the right fit for your online security needs, don't worry – you're not alone. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of cancelling your subscription, getting a refund, and uninstalling the software from your devices.
**Turn off Auto-Renewal**
The simplest way to cancel Norton VPN is to stop your subscription from automatically renewing. This will give you until your plan expires to look for a new VPN that suits your needs better. To do this:
1. Sign in to your account at [my.norton.com](http://my.norton.com).
2. Find the Norton VPN plan and click on "Manage Renewal" or "Cancel Subscription Renewal."
3. Click "Unsubscribe" and select a reason for cancellation (you can be honest, but it's not necessary).
4. Follow the prompts until you see a confirmation that auto-renewal has been turned off.
**Get a Refund**
To request a refund on your Norton VPN subscription, follow these steps:
1. Visit [support.norton.com](http://support.norton.com) and scroll down to the "Contact us" section.
2. Click on "Contact us" and select "Purchase & Billing" as the reason for contact.
3. Choose "Request refund" from the dropdown menu.
4. Enter a reason for cancellation (again, you can be honest or not).
5. Be persistent until you receive a message in writing that your refund will be processed.
**Wait 24 hours**
After requesting a refund, wait at least 24 hours before expecting the money to appear in your account.
**Cancel through App Store or Google Play**
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, canceling your subscription is easier. Simply:
1. Go into the subscriptions page of the store's mobile app.
2. Find your Norton VPN subscription and click "Cancel" beside it.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the cancellation process.
**Uninstall Norton VPN**
To get rid of Norton VPN completely, you'll need to uninstall all its apps from your devices:
1. **Android and iOS**: Uninstall like any other app after canceling your subscription.
2. **Windows**: Hold the Windows key and press R to open the black box. Type "appwiz.cpl" and hit Enter. Click on Norton VPN, then "Uninstall/Change," and follow the instructions.
3. **Mac**: Open the Applications folder, find Norton VPN, and drag it to the trash. This will start a separate program called Norton Uninstaller. Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation process.
**Find a Better VPN Alternative**
With Norton VPN out of your life, it's time to explore better alternatives. Some top picks include Proton VPN, Surfshark, NordVPN, and ExpressVPN. Take some time to research and find a provider that meets your online security needs.
Remember, canceling your subscription doesn't necessarily mean you're eligible for a refund. Be patient and persistent in your request, and eventually, you'll receive the money back in your account.
