Not useful in middle east Don't think about it if you want to use it to bypass internet filtering. I buy nordvpn to use it when I travel to countries with restrictions, especially middle-eastern ones. It simply doesn't work. I don't think their service is designed for such purposes, since you can find free VPNs on app store that work with great speed. The exact experience is: You try 20-30 different servers, none of them work (the auto select mode doesn't work). Once in a blue moon, one server might work, but the speed reminds you of the time that GPRS was king. You might think it's generally internet speed issue, but I used a random free service, and I could get decent speeds around 40Mbps. I created a ticket and they gave me address of several servers. After trying them for around an hour, none works. I want to warn people who are travelling, hoping nordVPN to work: be more prepared.

Mixed experience - Good on my Tablet, fustrating on my Laptop I've been using NordVPN for about a week. My experience is mixed. On the positive side: 1. it is very competitively priced. I got a 28 month deal for $4 a month 2. It works reasonably well on my Samsung Tablet On the negative side: Connecting using the NordVPN App on my laptop is simply not user friendly or intuitive. This morning I struggled for 5 minutes to connect. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Update: From my son (who has a computer science degree) - "the desktop app is rubbish"

Super VPN It works perfectly in the UK, the USA, etc. You are located in the country you choose without fail. It has never failed me in more than three years. It can give you access to all your apps that require a UK base when you are overseas and hide your IP from crooks. I also use the VPN Master Password add-on, which is magic. Saves endless frustration with I am a Robot etc.. If you have an issue you speak to a human being.

Excellent VPN Service This has been my VPN service for at least five years now, and it is well worth it. The service is reliable with many VPN choices to use and connect to. The connections are almost always perfect, and when they aren't it's always a quick fix to try a different one. The PC app and mobile android app have received nice updates through the years, and both function very well. The customer support is also reliable, responsive, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this service to anyone in need of a VPN.

Degrades normal network connection on Windows PC After 5+ years of using NordVPN, I guess it's time to try out some other VPNs out there Recently my PC connection quality dropped significantly. This was during my normal workflow, so while NOT using NordVPN. NordVPN client was not even loaded into the memory. Spending some time troubleshooting, it turned out the problem was related to NordVPN's network adapter as the connection recovered once I de-installed it from my PC. Too bad - it used to be a good product doing one thing. Trying to upsell all the different additional services and lack of transparency really doesn't help sticking to this VPN.
