This isn't a NordVPN issue This isn't a NordVPN issue, but I notice that websites are turning the tables. I find I often have to prove 'I'm human' or I have to pause protection to stream radio. I believe this is different sites efforts to push back against VPNs. From a functional VPN point of view, I find Nord to be great.

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.

I recently travelled to Singapore and… I recently travelled to Singapore and was unable to access a few Australian sites using my Nordvpn account. I have encountered the same issues in South Korea and Japan. Don't even get me started on trying to access sites when in China.
