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.

The best all around package Nord has been my choice of VPN for the past seven years. It's been nothing but a good stable experience for not only a great VPN to keep myself safe on the internet. But also it's amazing password manager etc...

one of the best available… Some difficulty setting up on MacBook Air from my phone. Never could get the Authy codes to work. Also, cannot use it on my phone cellular data side if I want to check my online banking. For some reason their VPN cannot verify me on my iPhone if VPN is actively protecting my device. Problem does not occur on iPad. Odd. I do wish there was a setting available to encrypt and completely secure every element of browsing, email, all internet related activity, really. Sick of always having to watch everything. Kind of destroys communication with all the extra stuff that must be bought, installed, updated, figured out, etc. and still no guarantee of airtight communication or use.

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"

Works very well No problems so far, everything works. Some services block some IPs, since I have shared IP, but all these mainstream VPNs have this problem. Connection is quite fast, there are lot of additional services for enhanced security protection.
