NordVPN is the #1 VPN in the world featured by Forbes, PCMag, CNET, TechRadar, and other media and review platforms.
The user interface is very easy to use and connects rapidly.
Plan renewal dates seemed to change over the 3 months I used it so I missed this first cancellation date so needed to pay for an extra month.

protection and privacy
Comments: It is safe and reliable to use, anyone can use it and it does not require long training processes
Pros:
Its connection speed has been correct without closing or saturating, its cybersecurity has been perfect for protection against malware, always protecting the equipment from any damage that may be caused or from any type of malware that wants to enter without being detected. Its price is economical for so many functions that have been well used
Cons:
I don't dislike it at all, everything has always worked correctly since the first day of use
NordVPN - Not a bad solution
Comments: After the initital troubles I set it up and it runs all the time. When I want to access some country VPN for whatever reason I can do it quickly. Overall, it is an OK VPN app but I wouldn't say it is the best there is.
Pros:
I like the main app screen which directly offers to quick connect to a VPN servers. Also, the main screen offers the option to easily switch server in the selected country but also change it right there and connect to another country. I like the option of encrypted storage.
Cons:
The fact it took me two days to set up the app so it works and lets me open pages on my mobile device, I had issues with page loading even though I set up everything according to their knowledge base. Also, the support is fast but don't have a lot of answers except for those that are already available on their pages. I was connected to 5 or 6 agents in 45 minutes until I gave up and managed to solve the issue myself.
Solid product but they will steal your money
Comments: Product is great but customer service is terrible. I was 2 days late in canceling my subscription, but they refused to refund my money for the month even though I hadn't used the service in those 2 days and no longer needed it. They said it went against company policy, but that's really just an excuse to steal my money. Make sure you stay on top of your account if you purchase their product, or they will screw you.
Pros:
The product itself actually works fairly well most of the time
Cons:
Terrible customer service, terrible policies. They will steal your money.
Alternatives Considered:
Most robust VPN out there - but watch out for pricing
Comments: Overall it's the superior VPN provider so despite its drawbacks it's the best of the bunch. I've used it in the UK, Mauritius, Thailand, Egypt, Australia, and a few other countries and it's always worked well.
Pros:
It's reliable, it doesn't randomly disconnect, and you have control over the countries and servers you can choose. It also doesn't seem to affect internet speed and seems to be the only VPN that reliably works with online streaming services. Works well on both mobile and desktop.
Cons:
It's a bit more expensive than other providers and if you don't check your plan they increase it without asking... Also my desktop app seems to want to restart every other time I open the laptop which I don't think is normal or it's at least inconvenient.
NordVPN and the wonders of cloak mode
Comments: I wanted to use Nordvpn because of the cloak mode for websites that block vpn.
Pros:
The fact that it has an feature that allows website to not detetec that you're on a vpn proxy connection is super
Cons:
The prices are exorbitant but for that cloak mode it's kinda worthy.
Free of malicious malware
Comments: a pleasant experience and above all safe, there are no failures and their servers are fast as they promise from the beginning
Pros:
NordVPN has prevented me from downloading malware on my computer, putting all the information stored at risk, it detects malicious malware that wants to enter the system in time, it has reliable security that allows me to browse safely without fear of putting my data or information at risk, it provides a good connection speed without annoying loading times
Cons:
everything is good and it has worked as it should correctly, I have no comments of displeasure or that they can improve
Good security service for business or personal use
Comments: NordVPN is a solid choice for users seeking strong security for their business or personal accounts with a robust feature set. Its extensive server network and privacy policies make it a great option for both casual users and those focused on security. However, potential users should consider the pricing and their specific needs before committing as NordVPN can be a bit pricier than other security platforms.
Pros:
NordVPN offers strong security for all of your devices no matter the operating platform they run on as it is available for Windows, MAC, Android, and IOS. So you are covered no matter what your preferred device is.
Cons:
The cost and lack of a free trial can be prohibitive for users that don't have a large budget and certain features can be difficult to understand for beginner users of the service.
NordVPN - stay safe
Comments: NordVPN is a vast and secure VPN service with many useful features for every type of user.
Pros:
The best feature of NordVPN are the browsers extensions, I really like it because I can use a secure connection just for the browser and not for the whole system. Even so the app is easy to install and setup if you want a permanent connection. Dark web monitor is another useful feature as it informs you if your email and password is found on the dark web.
Cons:
There are parts of this soft that I can say I don't like.

Is has a limit of devices where I can use the app or browser extension.
Top-notch Security and Speed with Minor Server Issues

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.

At times I notice that my internet speeds may be slower, but this isn't a frequent occurrence.
Online Security

An important feature worth mentioning is Dark Web watch, you are informed when you email address and password is found and you can change it before it can do some damage.

Going online without any security these days is crucial. I really like NordVPN because it offers an anonymous browsing on all devices you have. The app is easy to install and setup on your PC, I installed the app on my devices (IOS and Android) and browsers extensions too. The connection via the VPN is fast and there are multiple location to choose from.

The most important feature for me is the availability on all devices i use. The app is available on both Android and IOS and it can be used as a browser extension.

Comments: One of the greatest VPN, is available on mobile, PC and as a browser extension. There are a lot of servers worldwide, I can connect to the nearest server or even on the other side of the planet. Worth every cent.

NordVPN is easy to use, setting up the account and the software is easy. Browser extensions are does a great job if you have more PC and want to browse privately. Another good feature is Dark Web Monitor, you are informed whenever your password is found on dark web, helping you keep you accounts secure.

For me it's by far the best VPN
Comments: I've been using NordVPN for about 2 years and I'm very satisfied, it's a very powerful VPN. I've tried other VPNs but they didn't perform as well. NordVPN is undoubtedly the best VPN to use to stay protected. I recommend it 200%.
Pros:
It's very safe Does not cause conflicts in the Windows system It has many country solutions to use as a VPN VPN speed is very fast in most countries.
Cons:
I think it should improve the quality of speed in some countries.
Alternatives Considered:
Great value, easy to use on all devices
Comments: Great! I've recommended it many times and will continue to use and recommend it further.
Pros:
Connecting through NordVPN gives me peace of mind when travelling and on non-home connections.
Cons:
It's easy to forget it "on", but given it doesn't cost more to use it more, that's a null point. You might just realise some search results don't seem right, until you switch back to your home country.
Keeps all my information safe
Comments: I will continue to use this product. The ease of mine it gives me that all of my information is protected is definitely worth the price.
Pros:
I like how it was easy to implement to protect all of my communications and information.
Cons:
Initially, there wasn't much of a discount to set it up. But now I understand why. Because it works wonderfully and just having that assurance gives me relieves my stress.
NordVPN has many IP locations and rich security features
Comments: 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.
Easy setup and integration for end-users.
Comments: Good. Been using this VPN suite for years now. Reliable.
Pros:
Ability to scale to other important products within the Nord ecosystem. Easy integration and setup.
Cons:
Choice of VPN servers is rather small. Ability to monitor traffic a bit lacking.
Excellent tool for data privacy and location services
Pros:
Nord is easy to use. A couple of clicks and you're set up. Able to connect to many countries just by clicking on them. No set up or technical experience necessary. Regular VPN servers work very well and have near 0 connection issues. Able to bypass most geographic restrictions without big websites noticing.
Cons:
I only have to complaints about Nord. First, the log in credentials are stored in the browser. If you clear your browser cookies you have to log back in to Nord every time. For people who prefer privacy, this is a horrible choice for login credentials. Second, Nord's P2P servers often have connection issues, poor performance for P2P.
Amazing security
Pros:
Customer service is amazing. I couldn't ask for a better company to protect me.
Cons:
The price can be a little high but it's worth it
The only VPN I’ll use!
Pros:
I liked most about the software that I know I’m protected while on the internet.
Cons:
There is nothing so far that has been bad. It’s worked very well.
Nice and easy to storage different passwords from different websites
Pros:
Easy to storage and generate passwords for different websites, and enable to adjust the difficulty of the passwords, also, you can easily view what is the password for the website
Cons:
It’s a little pricey when you have to pay 1-2 years in advance, but it’s worth
Paid didnt receive an activation email.
Comments: No experience is i am unable to use the app that i paid for.
Pros:
None, I have paid for the service through paypal and didnt receive any activation email.
Cons:
The fact that you will pay and still not have an active account is unacceptable. I payed through paypal and didnt receive any activation email. downloeded the client nothing came up. Also got my username and password and still says i need to activate. Got my paypal receipt for proof of payment. Unacceptable. i will dispute this charge the moment it clears.
Secure Connections - Always
Comments: We're using it for securing our connections and with minimal errors NordVPN provides that.
Pros:
Sometimes we need to anonymize our connection to make it secure and NordVPN successfully does that via residential IPs.
Cons:
Although it's one of the biggest players in this area, Nord is getting a lot more expensive than it was.
