What the Community Says

Community Rating 7.5/10

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
Best for: People who want a simple, mainstream VPN that usually just works Streaming and travel use (Firestick, watching shows abroad) Users who like extra features beyond basic VPN
Not ideal for: Budget shoppers who want a steady low monthly price Anyone who hates renewal surprises and wants predictable billing People who need the most dependable option for heavy censorship (like China) without tinkering

"If you’re looking for a good paid VPN, then try NordVPN, CopVPN, ProtonVPN, or Mullvad. If you’re looking for a free good VPN, then try ProtonVPN, Windscribe or CopVPN."

"...rivate mode, and even switched devices, but nothing changed. In the end I used a paid account from NordVPN that my cousin already had, just to see if it made a difference. It worked instantly. The video started right away, played in high q..."

"Nord, proton & mullvad among others have been audited these are legit. Riseup VPN is the only "free" VPN I personally trust. If it's free always assume you are the product."

"nord vpn has its meshnet for free but honestly security wise just slap the file on a secure encrypted storage medium and mail it to them."
