    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.

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.

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!

Nord is a bait and switch, after getting locked in for a year they got rid of the SOCKS proxy (yes they still keep a few servers but it's unusable as it keeps disconnecting) and general usability of the browser extension and apps. Bet their execs are laughing to the bank.

What is NordVPN?

With more than ten years of experience, NordVPN is a leading VPN provider. NordVPN gives you military-grade protection online, and you can access all your favorite sites without restriction. We never log your activity when using our servers, which are operated under the jurisdiction of Panama, where there are no mandatory data retention laws. So you can always trust your privacy to us.

-Double Data Encryption NordVPN's Double VPN technology encrypts data not once, but twice. It’s the tightest security in the industry, and it’s only available on NordVPN.

-Superfast Servers Everywhere Join the NordVPN network of 43+ worldwide server locations in 25 different countries. We cover every continent except Antarctica. But only because penguins just don’t get the Internet.

-Lightning Speed You know how the world looks when you’re riding in an F1 racer? Yeah, neither do we. But we bet it’s a lot like video streaming and browsing with NordVPN.

-Easiest VPN Ever To get on NordVPN, just click and go. NordVPN’s secure VPN software takes care of all the hard stuff so you can focus on fun stuff. And work stuff, if you have to.

-Strict No Logs Policy + Tor Over VPN NordVPN never logs where you go on the Internet. If anyone asks, the best we can do is shrug our shoulders. And we like it that way.

-Automatic Kill Switch If your VPN connection drops out, our kill switch technology instantly shuts down any site or software you specify in advance. No worries about accidental exposure of sensitive data.

-P2P Welcome Here Some providers throttle P2P traffic. We don’t. So you can download and upload to your heart’s content, at consistently blazing speeds.

-Friendly, Helpful Service Got a question? Our friendly, smart, and somewhat nerdy support agents have answers. And they’re available 24/7 to help.
