### "Good product, but hogs the system"

December 4, 2021

5.0

I like the features and ease of deployment, however the fast that the software hogs the system means I won't be extending my licence with NordVPN.

Pros

I like the easy implementation of the software and the varied features, especially those concerning network and computer security.

Cons

I didn't like that it hoged my system and slowed it down to a point where I had to either restart the computer or close and restart the software.

### "Un VPN qui garantit la sécurité"

June 23, 2023

4.0

Pros

Un logiciel avec un meilleur rapport qualité/prix. Très simple d'installation et d'utilisation sur un ordinateur. NordVPN permet d'avancer dans ses activités , car il n'empêche pas les utilisateurs à l'instar de certains VPN.

Cons

Un service client à revoir pour apporter tout ce qu'il faut à ce logiciel plus que parfait.

### "Great VPN"

October 7, 2020

5.0

It is fast and reliable and responsibly priced. I like it so much that I have purchased a six year extension to my existing contract.

Pros

I travel all over the world and need to work with client data from public WIFIs. I have tried a few free VPNs, but they were all too slow. Nord has servers in many countries and is fast. In the last two years, they added even faster connections with Nord Lynx. From time to time, I read technical reviews and haven't seen anything negative about Nord spying or selling your data. This VPN is really fast and easy to use. I have it on my chrome browser, on my laptop, and on my android phone.

Cons

The only thing I have had trouble with is that it logs you out a lot after periods of not using it. It isn't much of a hassle to reenter your credentials to be able to use it again.

### "Nord! Stay Safe and Secure at affordable price."

March 6, 2019

4.0

NordVPN is excellent for safe browsing and it keeps me away from unwanted hackers. My experience so far is great.

Pros

NordVPN provides the best security at affordable prices. Nord has enormous list of servers around the world and let the users choose which city they want to connect with. The feature i like the most is that it does not log user's activity and keeps the connection secure. On top of all it works with Netflix and it's super amazing.

Cons

Androids app glitches sometime and i have encountered disconnection, once it is disconnected it tries to auto-connect to the closest server and forgets which server i was connected with before.

### "Nord VPN is amazing "

January 21, 2020

5.0

It’s provided me with the best security when I need to access the web and keeps my data secure from hackers

Pros

That is provides the best security when it compares to other VPNs and it’s very reasonable when it comes to price

Cons

The only thing that I didn’t like about it is that it takes some getting used to when you first start out

### "Be safe on the 'net"

April 28, 2022

5.0

I was pretty skeptical when I first started use this. It was very easy to install and use. I specially enjoy looking like a local in a number of countries that I select if I am working with them there online. They think I'm one of them! Otherwise this is a really well priced system operating much easier than others.

Pros

Very Easy to install, use and the ability to completely "cloak" yourself for anonymity whilst surfing.

Cons

It can cause a few program conflicts (MS Outlook) sometimes and slows downloads at the onset but speeds later.

### "NordVPN"

January 31, 2022

5.0

I am using NordVPN from quite a time and have found it to be very fast as compared to other VPNs.

Pros

NordVapN is an excellent software that very actively hides your system's IP address and identity, thus enabling you to surf the web near anonymously. It also provides cyber and network protection to your computer through its firewall. Also with NordVPN you can gain access to servers and IP addresses that are blocked by your ISP.

Cons

Apart from its relatively high subscription fees especially for short term subscription, I have nothing bad to say about it.

### "Protect your anonymously with NordVPN"

April 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

NordVPN is very robust and simple program that hides you in the internet. I bought 2 year subscription. On my pocket is a pain, but I am very happy with this software. If you buy long term subscription it is less expensive.

Cons

I recommend to wait for a discount of offerings. Normal price is very high

### "NordVPN is a powerful virtual private network with a number of excellent features"

December 13, 2017

5.0

While traveling I like to feel safe over unsecured locations. Peace of mind is priceless.

Pros

I think it has a variety of servers, including unique secure servers. More than 2,000 servers in diverse locations worldwide says a lot, trust me, I have tried others. Six simultaneous connections. P2P is allowed. Browser applications. And Router protection.

Cons

Price maybe. You can find coupons over there and if you're lucky you can find a decent price. But it's not super expensive.

### "NordVPN"

December 4, 2018

5.0

Overall this is a great and secure VPN. Easy to use and easy to install on all your devices, including some streaming devices e.g. Amazon Fire Stick.

Pros

Very easy to use, relatively inexpensive, many VPN location options. Cross platform compatibility without additional cost.

Cons

A little pricy compared to some of NordVPN's competitors.

### "Better than most"

December 6, 2019

5.0

Overall, the deal we got for this service was well worth it. Paid for 3 years of service and go money back towards another product they offered.

Pros

I recently switched to Nord from Express VPN due to cost. I use a VPN daily as I work in healthcare and being on a public wi-fi can be very tricky when it comes to privacy. I had my credit card information stolen less than a week after starting this job after learning 3 other people in the office were affected with the same thing I knew it had to be because of using a public wi-fi. Ever since then, anytime I am using a public wi-fi I will connect to Nord.

Cons

The only con I can see was when their servers were "hacked". While no personal information was leaked, I feel it was not right for them to wait for so long before they disclosed this.

### "Best VPN software I have used"

August 9, 2019

5.0

NordVPN, excellent software that gives me leeway to access any server and overtake protocol while protecting my privacy. It connects faster to Wi-Fi, works perfectly on my desktop and mobile interface, and I like the support team always ready to help. NordVPN gives me the monetary value at any time and place.

Pros

Protecting my online privacy is my number one priority, and with NordVPN, I can comfortably install and use it anywhere. It acts as my travel companion since I can access different countries services and protocols. It has a quick connect button that makes the fastest encrypted connection. And the internet kill switch is my favorite feature since it ensures my traffic is well encrypted. Moreover, the pricing is just excellent, and the ability to use in my computer and phone makes it my ideal tool.

Cons

The Company reduced the payment options making it hard to make the payment since it sometimes rejects some of my credit cards. Additionally, I didn’t like that they removed the free trial version; hence, it is now hard to refer my colleagues.

### "Confidently Secure Always"

July 11, 2020

5.0

We've been using a set IP for team members across the world to connect to social media so it doesn't thinking the accounts are being hacked.

Pros

Appreciate their values of putting privacy first - we've got nothing to hide, but it's nice to be able to protect our data Security wise, the Nord team is proactive in education their customers on what can be done to imrpove

Cons

Sometimes it blocks websites, so have to switch protocols from the default. Doesn't intuitively work out the box

Flawless experience - a very well put-together piece of software

Pros

Multiple servers in multiple locations around the world, P2P servers too. Value for money is excellent, each account can be used on up to five devices which is very generous. Mobile and desktop apps are great. A feature-rich, well-built VPN that's great for personal and work life.

Cons

No issues with the software so far, haven't had any crashes, downtime, or reason to contact customer support,

5.0

Pros

When I am using Nord VPN, I am not bothered about my IP address because I can easily hide it from trackers. I love that I can browse seamlessly without threats.

Cons

The only thing that needs improvement is making the connection faster. The connection can be slower and frustrating sometimes.

### "Overloaded servers can be an issue"

January 14, 2019

3.0

I would use it, it may not be the best one out there but for the price if you disable webrtc and you aren't on it 24/7 it's a good product overall.

Pros

The price is very good for NordVPN if you buy a few years at a time. The software has alot of servers and locations to choose from. Both the Linux and the windows and mac sides of the software are easy to setup and use. I use it alot when I go to Japan or overseas for travel and it's been quite nice.

Cons

Some servers are mislisted to the country and so you choose country and it really comes out of another. The other thing is their software connects you to alot of overloaded slow servers so it's best to manually choose which one you want to connect too.

### "It's just okay"

December 9, 2020

4.0

My main qualm with Nord VPN is that the Chrome browser extension does not have a whitelist feature. Most times I forego using the Nord VPN desktop client or any system-level VPN because I don't want my entire PC's data going over the VPN. As a gamer, I'm of the mind that live gaming data speeds would be too delayed through extra servers to enjoy the gaming. Instead, I like to use browser extensions so that only my browser-specific data is transferred over a VPN. But while Nord VPN has a decent extension for my preferred Chrome browser, it does not have a feature allowing me to whitelist certain domains. Some VPNs, such as PIA, have this feature, and I would use it for domains like Chase Bank's, whose site does not like my traffic coming from any VPNs I've tried so far. When whitelisted sites such as Chase Bank's would skirt around the VPN.

Pros

Honestly can't say. It's just a VPN. You turn it on and it keeps your IP private.

Cons

It's annoying to use alongside an incognito browser because you're always being asked to do the CAPTCHA / verify that you're a human. Literally every.single.time. you try to go to a new webpage. I've been told that this is not specific to Nord and that it's just an incompatibility between VPNs and Incognito browsers, so I can't hold that against Nord specifically. VPNs hide your IP from host servers where Incognito browsers hide your activity from other users of your computer...

Reason for choosing NordVPN

It's well reviewed by security analysts.
