I am astonished by how well developed of a VPN it is, while also being very user friendly and easy to navigate. The connection speed is instant and I've never had a problem connecting to any country in the world, especially the lesser known countries for example countries in Africa. A great product I wholeheartedly recommend. Pros I love that NordVPN is so accessible in many different countries, and within larger countries you can select a more specific city to connect to which makes it a very detailed VPN. The user interface is very user friendly and allows you to navigate the world map and select which country you'd like to connect to, and when you click "connect" the performance is great and the connectivity speed is instant. Once connected it will assign you a anonymised IP address which is great for anonymity. Cons I would say the thing I like the least about NordVPN is the high renewal prices for the VPN, especially if you have signed up using a sign up discounted incentive previously. This price hike can be hard to stomach, but I cannot fault NordVPN at all, it has no learning curve and is very user friendly, allowing you to protect yourself online. Review Source BW Bradley W.

Comes with validation evidence that it’ll do what it’s supposed to do. Can’t fault it other than speed deteriorating if connected to one server for long periods (days). Pros The ease at which it allows you to connect to a VPN to secure your connection is excellent. The cost is great, but it did take a long time to find the voucher code/subscription combo that gave the best (lowest) monthly cost. Once sorted though, there were no billing issues and the product just works out of the box. The interface is easy to use; just click to connect. I’ve never had to contact customer support, which is a positive as it confirms it’s intuitive design. Cons The speed deterioration of connections and VPN blocking by some sites/tools can become a frustration. You have to be constantly mindful that your using VPN, and therefore if an app or website responds unexpectedly, you have ti disconnect and do your work, then reconnect. The new timed paused feature makes this easier. Review Source Tony N. Operations Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and reliable VPN" December 29, 2025 5.0 Pros I've been using NordVPN for a while now, and honestly, the best part is that I rarely have to think about it. I mostly use when travelling and connecting to secure sites back home. The connection is fast enough that I don't notice any buffering, and the "Threat Protection" is a nice little bonus because it actually stops those annoying pop-up ads while I'm browsing. Cons The app can feel a bit crowded with extra features I don't really use, and every now and then, I have to switch servers because a banking site or Gmail gets suspicious of the VPN. Review Source Response from Nord Security January 6, 2026 Hello, Tony! Thank you for your review, appreciate it a lot! WB Will B.

It also looks out for dodgy websites which is super helpful and keeps your business data secure. Pros NordVPN is an amazing and trustworthy VPN which can be bundled with a variety of other Nord Products seamlessly. This VPN is advertised widely and supported by a range of brilliant content producers on YouTube, who vouch for its usefulness when travelling abroad or on public wifi. I too enjoy how secure it makes you feel when surfing the web or entering password information. Cons The free trial is very useful but it should be made clearer that it is for the yearly subscription. The aggressive discounts also skew the real pricepoint, but I understand this is just a marketing decision.

Decent speeds, although about a 10% loss on network speeds for the same country connections. Cons NordVPN's support is non existent, they do not properly resolve connection ticket with an acceptable time frame. Nordvpn meshnet does not work at all. been waiting months for a proper response and have given up hope on this. there is severely inadequate support for Linux/Debian based devices. Some servers regularly drop connection. Strange structured pricing, be careful not to be sucked in to their incomprehensible pricing structure. Alternatives considered [Proton VPN](https://www.capterra.com/p/248737/ProtonVPN/) Reason for choosing NordVPN Proton has a lack of server locations and their speed is not great Switched from [ExpressVPN](https://www.capterra.com/p/170765/ExpressVPN/) Nordvpn had a special on at the time and I was not fully satisfied with ExpressVPN Review Source VR Verified Reviewer OTP Interpreter Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "NordVPN is reliable" November 12, 2025 4.0 Overall NordVPN has been a very good software to ensure I get stable (most of the time) connection while protecting myself. Pros I love how easy it is to turn the vpn on and have options of so many different locations to choose from. Cons On some occasions it has stopped working properly, where the internet gets very slow and this is not good since I use it for work and leisure. Review Source SA Stuart A. Medical Writer and Editor Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "5 years of use and practivally no problems" June 22, 2025 4.0 I´ve been using NordVPN for more than 5 years now and I would highly recommend it. I use it to reach home via the internet and keep my browsing secure and private Pros The general ease of use and security. Being someone who live abroad, being able to use a relaible VPN to connect to certain thinga back home makes all the difference. Plus, the added security is always a good thing. Cons The app can misbehave at times on older computers; this includes getting locked in loops and lagging. However, these instances are few and far between. Review Source VS Valentin S. Sales Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Top VPN for Speed and Simplicity" June 4, 2025 5.0 Very smooth and reliable experience. Easy to use, secure, and with plenty of servers for any location I need. Pros I really like the wide variety of server locations and how easy the interface is to use. The app is intuitive, fast, and makes connecting to a secure server effortless, even for non-technical users. Cons Some servers can be a bit slow at times, and switching between them may take a little longer, but overall the app works smoothly and securely, so it’s not a big concern.

Pros One of the most important features a vpn should have is obviously fast speed, and NordVPN has that, which makes thinks like streaming for example really enjoyable. The software is not expensive, and having the possibility to do plans is nice. Friendly UI, nothing complicated. Cons Although getting a yearly plan or similar is very beneficial, renewal pricing is significantly higher. There is a limit of concurrent devices that can use it. Review Source LC LISA C.

I trust them to take care of stuff that I don't even understand. Pros I don't understand much about this type of stuff. I'm glad I trust in NordVPN to cover all the bases and protect from harmful sites. Cons I don't always understand all the aspects of how people can gather info through a backdoor to collect data for malicious reasons . Review Source RH Rezaul H. Supervisor Field Research Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Safe surfing in a waiting net" June 17, 2025 5.0 Pros Intrusive ads, phishing sites, and sketchy downloads could not even get in my radar since they were blocked by NordVPN automatically, even on servers that were not activated in VPN mode, making my online life secure and free of clutter. Cons Occasionally the Windows client would show me marketing gags about other Nord services, which got in the way of my work a bit. Review Source YZ Youssef Z. Head of Department Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good performance for personal and professional use" June 17, 2025 5.0 Pros NordVPN is one I use daily on all devices, it helped me increase my privacy while browsing and not affect browsing habits. They are reliable enough for casual browsing and for a more secure browsing session. Cons Limiting one thing is sometimes the DNS leak warning on certain servers. When that happens I’ve had to manually run checks and switch to other servers. Review Source AC Alliant C. Support Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Supports secure remote access to internal systems" June 10, 2025 5.0 Pros I depend on NordVPN every day to stay online while doing my job outside, in venues such as cafes and airports. It guarantees the safety of my online actions and please me when I need to use private resources. Cons Sometimes it was not possible for me to choose only certain apps to go around the VPN on my Mac device. Review Source PB Proera B. IT Engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Made me feel safer during travel and remote work" May 27, 2025 5.0 Pros If I connect to airport or cafe networks, NordVPN automatically secures the connection and encrypts the traffic. The server switching feature also turned out to be reliable, when using it to access region restricted sites when traveling. Cons Sometimes my laptop woke from sleep before auto connect pushed through. In a few instances I had to resync manually which reduced my flow and had me double checking. Review Source TE Tony E. IT Administrator Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great VPN for a great price" March 14, 2025 5.0 Great product for a great price. Lots of servers available with good speeds. Also love the mobile app which comes in really handy too.

System Engineer Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Keeps my data safe on shared networks" June 3, 2025 5.0 Pros The web surfing has been way cleaner with the NordVPN actively blocking malicious URLs and trackers. The double VPN feature also satisfies me when I want to send sensitive files. Cons Sometimes connecting drops briefly even after reconnection and it cuts you off from all internet connection.

Owner Security and Investigations Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "NordVPN rocks!" February 13, 2025 5.0 I've rarely had a tech issue and when i do it is addressed immediately. Pros It is easy to use. I have the whole family on it, many of which are not tech people and they find it easy to use as well. Since I have started using it, I have way fewer security incidents with malware and a lot less spam! Cons Occasionally, when traveling, I have to restart my system to get it working on public wifi. This is not purely a NordVPN issue though, most VPN software would experience similar issues with browser based authentication for public systems.
