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 "Price"
17 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 and Proton seem the most consistent for me. Surfshark is fine too if you want cheaper and lots of devices."
"Nord is ~$80 US for 27 months. Works great."

"Just pay for Nord, it’s on a deal just now"
"I have used Surfshark before it was pretty good but Nord was cheaper"
"Nord own Surfshark, unless you need the extras that Nord offer with their plans that SS don't then save a wedge of money. Although I'm sure their will be some argument that 'but they use different servers bro" SS just works - what more do y..."
"...o pay for years in advance, I'd go with NordVPN or someone else better tailored to your needs. I would not consider VyprVPN to be *trustworthy* based on the flaws mentioned above, but I would still use it over a bare connection, anyway. ISP..."

"...the big names are NordVPN, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN, and Private Internet Access. * ExpressVPN is often recommended for speed and streaming. * ProtonVPN looks strong on privacy, audits, and has P2P‑optimized servers. * NordVPN gets praised..."
"...ay from ExpressVPN/alibis and Surfshark/NordVPN (they're the same thing). 1-When I travelled to Turkey, Surfshark VPN was blocked there and I HAD TO USE ProtonVPN (It was installed on my PC, Free version) to open [surfshark.com](http://surf..."
"I dropped NordVPN this year after using it for 3. I'm not paying $15+ a month for a VPN I can get for $3-$5"
"I signed up in 2024 with Nord at $82 for 2 years. I just received an email notifying me that the upcoming renewal will cost me $150 a year. I guess I will be looking for alternatives....Proton perhaps."
"Nordvpn took 170e out of my bank this year,won't be doing that again,moving to WINDSCRIBE."
