Yes. Norway has no law against using a VPN, and employers and universities rely on them for remote work. As an EEA member, Norway applies the GDPR, which governs how organisations handle personal data whether or not you use a VPN.

Some content is blocked in Norway. Since 1 January 2025 the Norwegian Gambling Authority can instruct internet providers to block the domain names of unlicensed gambling sites, and courts have ordered providers to block a number of piracy sites. Some people try to reach such sites through a VPN or proxy, but the rules stay the same for them, so it is worth being careful.

A VPN changes two technical things: it encrypts your connection and replaces your IP address with one from the location you pick. To see the address sites see right now, check your current IP, and for the basics, read what a VPN is.
