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 "Jurisdiction"
11 reviews"Hi, I'd like to share my opinion. I've been using NordVPN for years. First, NordVPN's VPN service is managed under the jurisdiction of Panama, which places it outside the 5, 9, and 14 Eyes alliances. Regarding the anti-malware and plus fea..."
"NordVPN isn’t in the 9 Eyes and works well for most things. The Plus plan adds built in ad and malware protection, no extra apps needed. Basic is just the VPN."
"I swapped from VyprVPN to Nord. Having had years of experience with VyprVPN, and maybe 6 months of Nord, I’m very happy with Nord and won’t swap back. They’re based in Panama and regularly audited for zero logging, and have had legal ..."
"Nord are totally solid and have been audited a number of times and are based out of the Five Eyes zone. I've been quite happy with their performance for 3 years or so."
"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..."
"Courts agree with NordVPNs own website: "On October 18, 2018, M247 Ltd advised agents that they assigned the IP address to Nord VPN. NordVPN is located in Panama and does not comply with U.S. subpoenas or warrants” source:[courtdoc](https..."
".../os/macos-overview/ Surfshark was not the best idea to be honest, it's owned by the same entity as NordVPN; in general you should be avoiding Tesonet, they also have a data mining arm called Oxylabs. Three companies including Tesonet own m..."
"Air vpn , Mullvad. As non US but also non EU alternative windscribe ( Dont forget our Canadian friends they are also in same boat as we with usa ) Cyberghost , surfshark and all of them are sadly subs of bigger usa or other company's li..."
"...ing cartwheels is enough for AI to not recognize you as human. Good time to point out that NordVPN is controlled by an American company, and I would assume no American company would fight for your privacy. I wouldn't trust anything..."
"NordVPN didn't disclose it when they got hacked, and should not be promoted while there are good European alternatives like Mullvad."
