What the Community Says
NordVPN comes up a lot as a “solid all-rounder” VPN that’s easy to use and generally feels reliable day to day. People like the speed when everything’s working normally, and it’s often mentioned as a good pick for streaming devices like Firestick. It also gets praise for privacy features like no-logs claims and extras like Meshnet for connecting devices.
The biggest gripe is pricing and renewals: the intro deal can look great, then the renewal jumps hard and leaves people feeling burned. Some also complain about account and billing headaches (especially when mixing website subscriptions with Google Play), plus occasional slowdowns depending on protocol/server. And while many trust it, the old security-breach history still makes some folks uneasy about transparency.
Strengths
- Good everyday speeds
- Easy to use on phones and streaming devices
- Lots of servers and locations
- Privacy-focused features (no-logs claims, extra tools like Meshnet)
- Works well for many people with multiple devices
Weaknesses
- Renewal price can jump unexpectedly
- Billing and account login/device-limit issues
- Can be slow on some settings or servers
- Past security incident still worries some people
- Not the cheapest long-term option

Reviews about "Cheap"
20 reviews"I LOVE Nord. Been with them 10+ years. They just about always have a really good price. It doesn't slow my pc down at all. I don't use public wifi so I don't know about that. It is definitely worth the money."
"Nord is still consistently rated the best and has privately audited no logs policy and offices located in non 14 eyes country. Plenty of servers and specialty server options and not horribly priced for a 2 year plan. It's what I stick with..."
"Nord is ~$80 US for 27 months. Works great."
"NordVPN Review in 2026: Is It a Good VPN ot Not? I started using NordVPN mainly to make my browsing feel more private and to unlock streaming content that is not available everywhere. I went with a long term plan since it was cheaper than ..."
"If you don't roll your own, then whatever you do, look into paid services so you at least have a business contract with them. Free ones can have varying privacy and data policies, but companies still have to earn money, so guess where that..."
"Isn’t nord like £30 for 10 devices for a year on amazon? Can’t get much more affordable"
"Just pay for Nord, it’s on a deal just now"
"I switch every two years to whoever has the free after cashback deals. Check NordVPN and Surfshark often - they both recently had 100% and 97% cashback 2 year deals, so essentially free"
"...very good. When I use VPN, I can get up to 200Mbps. Good enough for what I need it for. Compared to NordVPN, Express VPN has way too few features, and I get worse service. I saved money by getting Nord for two years, so it cost the same as ..."
"...p;s=24798dd7810aa1186b3bb797e57d3c5604d01403 Kaspersky is working for me and I have a good deal on NordVPN by C1 which I cannot miss, not sure if I should get it. I would gv the NordVPN to someone else on 50% of the valuet, as my Kaspersky..."
"I have used Surfshark before it was pretty good but Nord was cheaper"
"I’ve had both. In my experience Express is faster and more reliable but the problem is, their protocols no longer work in my region so I bought Nord. Nord is cheaper and only a tad bit slower. If your region has no restrictions and money ..."
"Is NordVPN still worth it in 2026? I want to buy a VPN and I see lots of ads for NordVPN. I heard good things about them a few years ago, but I'm wondering if they'll still be competitive in 2026? Has anyone used them recently? How good i..."
"I switched to PIA from NordVPN. One of the key decisions that made me switch is support for port forwarding, which I require, and competitive pricing when you subscribe for 3 years. My only complaint is that they don't really have an easy ..."
"I mean, you're no less reliant on hyperscalers because who do you think NordVPN is using to host? It's super cheap to set up one or more micro instances with the big providers and run your own VPN. It takes like twenty minutes to set up an..."
"I'm not using NordVPN, as stated. I'm running my own setup on VPS hosts (wireguard based), for cheaper than what I can accomplish in Azure, which is what I mostly use for work and is most familiar with. It's a small amount of money, and ma..."
"Well look, OP theres not much you can really do. You are being tracked no matter what site you go to. By your own ISP, by every ISP you have to go through to reach a given site, by your VPN provider (especially the free or cheap ones like..."
"100% agree. The Nord and Expresses of the world have long be known as unusable in China - it’s pretty much common knowledge at this point among foreigners in China. I for one had used Astrill for years while living in China and while it h..."
