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 "Billing Issues"
8 reviews"... My account has been permanently limited. Phone support says they cant do anything about it and they dont know why. Apparently @ATVI_AB @discord and @NordVPN are high risk...??? https://t.co/aygT3CizjJ"
"Just now, my NordVPN subscription renewed today for 1 year. I forgot to cancel so I request a refund. They offered to give me an additional 3 YEARS FREE if I decided to stay. You're not experience enough with your retention tactics"
"@NordVPN why is my renewal so much"
"@CAFCofficial @NordVPN As per usual absolute pony link not working and no acknowledgement"
"My payment of $150/year for @NordVPN failed - well no shit sherlock - It cost less than $100 to sign up in the first place 2 years ago. I'm not letting you jack up the prices over 50% - F that noise."
"This ranking tells you everything about affiliate economics and nothing about privacy. NordVPN and Surfshark are owned by the same parent company (Nord Security, merged 2022). Listing them as separate #1 and #2 competitors without disclosure is either uninformed or deceptive. NordVPN had a server breach in 2018 that exposed TLS and OpenVPN CA keys. They concealed it for 18 months until security ..."
"@NordVPN You guys are the real scammers. Significantly raising subscription prices after current one lapses."
"#nordvpn do not use this garbage - they steal your money and lock you out of service. #thieves #scam"
