I've never used any other VPN but NordVPN, so I shouldn't compare it to any other VPN. So speaking from personal experience, through three years I've used this application it crashed once or twice, other than that - Netflix loads really well (the reason why I got it) as well as other streaming services are compatible. So it works for what I need!

Found out today what NordVPN had security breach and have poor PKI management. Attacker got access to one of the servers. That's enough to say goodbye. They can put millions in ads, but don't put money in security.

There is bug in NordVPN right now, or they cooperate and report to some "organizations". I am definitely "tracked" though NordVPN. I had to cancel my account with 10 months left prepaid. I switched to different VPN with month to month payments.

As a user with 2 years of experience, I can confidently say that the service is not ideal in certain countries, especially where it gets blocked entirely. While NordVPN’s VPN service is excellent, I’ve always relied on third-party OpenVPN clients to use it. This is because the default application constantly requires me to log in, which isn’t possible in my country due to the service being blocked.

Absolutely 100 percent a monstrosity, and nord is a derivitave, 100 percent know for a fact it logs and piracy is against tos, so good luck torrenting, also not the best for p2p, i have proof of the surfshark detecting my piracy, so this one is a no go, you are all better torrenting on a vm or tails with a cellular data ip address, so spread the word, this one is going down because it is 100 percent not legit and 100 percent tracks everything you do, in fact it is so bad i wish i could give it a negative 100, but not possible. be careful torrenting. just saying. nord is same

I have used NordVPN for about 5 years now and it has been great the entire time! They continue to add useful features and it is fast enough to game on!

What is NordVPN?

NordVPN is a veteran VPN service provider with over a decade of experience in the industry. It offers robust online protection, utilizing military-grade encryption techniques. The service allows unrestricted access to your preferred websites. It operates under Panama's jurisdiction, a country without compulsory data retention laws, and does not log user activity on its servers, ensuring user privacy.

NordVPN's unique Double VPN technology offers double encryption of data, providing the highest level of security in the VPN industry. The service boasts a vast network of servers, with over 43 locations distributed across 25 countries, covering every continent except Antarctica. NordVPN offers high-speed connections, comparable to the speed of an F1 racer, which makes it ideal for video streaming and browsing.

The NordVPN software is designed for ease of use; a simple click connects you to the VPN. It also features a strict no-logs policy and supports Tor over VPN. In case of a VPN connection drop, the automatic kill switch feature instantly shuts down any pre-specified site or software, preventing accidental data exposure. NordVPN is also P2P friendly, not throttling P2P traffic and allowing you to download and upload as much as you want. The service provides round-the-clock customer support, ready to answer any queries.
