NordVPN helps me gain access to websites and services that are limited to only certain zones. It also protects my presence only from hackers and malicious tools that can possibly compromise my data.

Pros

The reason why I'm very likely to recommend Nord VPN services to my peers is because it actually works well. I've been using this software for over 2 years now and I don't see any other VPN that outbeats it.It helps me to accomplish several tasks online and get access to services that originally I couldn't. The application offers a couple of cool features that really enhance browsing security.For example, I can connect to more than 3 different locations at once, and there is an option that automatically disconnects me from the internet whenever I reboot my PC. This potential stops trackers from tracking me even apps in the background.It's a really amazing VPN to use.

Cons

I haven't got any criticism regarding this software. I still use it today because it works well.

NordVPN added value to my business. I was able to access services when abroad that are otherwise geo-locked. This is my main use, but its always nice to have an extra layer of security when browsing the internet and downloading unverified files.

Pros

NordVPN offers a wide choice of servers in a wide choice of countries to access. This adds an element of anonymity to browsing the internet.
The download and upload speed is also pretty decent, which was a dealbreaker in other VPN solutions.

Cons

Some of the IPs I was assigned sometimes are blocked from certain servers due to other people's activities in the past. This is the only con I encountered. Some servers are abused and overused.

I think NordVPN is the fastest VPN on the market. It costs a little more than some other VPNs but you get what you pay for. If it didnt drain my laptop battery so quick i would say its perfect.

Pros

I like how fast my downloads are when using NordVPN and it works with all my devices.

Cons

I dont like how quick my laptop battery goes dead when using NordVPN....its very fast but very resource hungry as well.

Great tool especially for the pricing it comes at. A lot of discounts are given so sometimes waiting for the right moment is really beneficial.

Pros

It’s easy to use cross-platform and to setup. We are using this tool from both a security perspective as well as from a network testing perspective. It just works whenever you need it.

Cons

Sometimes when the connection is less stable the tool really doesn’t work at all. Which has a logical side to VPN’s in general but more information or notification would make this more clear.

Overall Pleasant, haven't experienced any major issues with the software, and find myself using it quite often.

Pros

-Consistent and Operates well in the background, haven't had any major issues with the software so far.
-Has various features available, been using their AdBlock to browse in peace.
-Relatively cheap compared to other VPNs.

Cons

-The fact that the best discounts are only available in a 2-year plan is definitely a bit irritating, but not the end of the world, just a bit of a commitment.

Worst VPN I have ever used

Mediocre performance. HORRIBLE Service.

Mediocre performance. HORRIBLE Service.

Pros

Seriously I can think of none. Their performance is mediocre. Their client is about the same as all the others I have used. Features are minimal.

Cons

NordVPN was my 3rd VPN service. I subscribed for 2 years because they had a decent review. After one month of use the turned off my service because their "automated tools" detected I was "web scraping". I am a retired person using a single desktop. Aside from the occasional BitTorrent book I am NEVER done anything like webscraping. Repeated emails to support to cancel my account are replied to by robot mail saying my account is suspended indefinitely. No further explanation. No Cancellation. Word of warning: they are clearly monitoring your traffic and given their crappy analysis tools they probably have all that data laying around on their servers. Let my loss be your gain: DO NOT USE NORDVPN!!

NordVPN is a great VPN app, the best I used until now. Is easy to use and setup with a good price. It has many useful features and a good connection for almost all countries.

Pros

The most I like the browsers extension, it let me browse with the VPN without installing the app on the PC, is useful as I use multiple devices. Another useful feature that I really like is the Darkweb monitor, it informs me whenever my credentials appears on the list from the Darkweb so I can change them.

Cons

Sometimes the extension takes some time to connect.

I have a lot of servers to choose from in many countries. I always keep an eye on Darkweb Monitor feature, it shows when your email address and passwords are shared on Darkweb and change them immediately. Browser extensions are easy to install and work flawless with any browser.

Pros

Pros

NordVPN offers a great balance of speed and security. I love the extensive server network, which makes it easy to find a fast connection anywhere in the world. The encryption and privacy features provide peace of mind while browsing or streaming.

Cons

Occasionally, there are slow connections with certain servers, which can be frustrating, especially when streaming. Also, the mobile app could use a bit of improvement in terms of usability and interface design.

NordVPN helps us access geo-restricted websites by accessing such sites from a different location. It also prevents exposing sensitive data including IP location to other sites. It is easy to set up, adjust settings, or change locations. You can find many content from the vendor or other users to guide you about most aspects of NordVPN. I like the kill switch but you need to enable it for better security. Some server options don't work while other are slow but you have many options.

Pros

One of the reasons we chose NordVPN is because it offers many servers in different countries. It has many security features including Double VPN, standard encryption, malware detection, and ad blocking features. Everything about NordVPN is straightforward, from navigating their website, choosing a plan, creating account, paying, downloading, installing, and choosing the appropriate locations. I also like it because it supports many users.

Cons

The only major issue with NordVPN is that some servers don't work sometimes. Others are quire slow or unresponsive. So you might need to keep changing until you find a stable one with good speed. The kill switch is not active at all times so you have to go to settings and enable it to remain secure when your connection drops unexpectedly.

AWFUL. Please look at the CON description.

Pros

It is fairly easy to use once installed.

Cons

I had a very specific issue with Nord VPN. We purchased the NordVPN + NordPass and were required to pay 1 year upfront which we did in January 2023. Then in August 2023, I tried to login and it said our subscription ended. I thought that was odd since we paid for 12 months. I contacted customer service. They explained that they had suspended my account (without notice) and will terminate it completely. I asked why that was the case. They responded with a canned statement saying that their automated tools have suspected "web scraping or other activities" that violate their software agreement. Not a tech person here, so I have no idea what that means and became immediately concerned that my account had been breached. I asked them to investigate if the account had in fact been breached and if someone else had my account credentials or suspicious logins through Nord. They responded that they will not refund and the account is suspended indefinitely. Then I asked about the investigation to find out if there was an actual breach and they did not want to investigate. I do not feel security or customer service is top on their priority. I suggest a different VPN service that has a little more transparency.
