It’s been important to add layers of security as well as insuring access to what I need. Additionally, it’s always nice to be able to stream what you want!

NORD provides almost always a fast secure connection to desired drop off points in the EEC, USA or Switzerland. Three consistent strengths of NORD: 1. Fast connectivity and switching of host countries. 2.Data transfer speed seems at the same rate as 5G circuits I have available at any specific moment. 3. Connection interruptions are very, very rare. Important last point, NORD charges are very fair for the quality of service you receive. I have been with them for a few years now and although I’ve received discount offers from various VPN vendors…I’ve kept what has worked well for me in multiple countries as I travel extensively.

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.

I received great support. I received great support when setting up my VPN. When setting up I inadvertently typed an incorrect email. After spelling out the error of my ways Support guided me through how to correct and verify my account. After that the set up was super smooth on my devices.
