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

"...iss/Panama-based rivals. If you want speeds, flawless 4K streaming, massive server choice, or heavy unrestricted torrenting without any ban risk, use NordVPN or PureVPN."

"...rcials, today it’s No VPN at all and better quality video without any VPN, I’m enjoying it so much bro. I ditched PureVPN for its bad quality for NordVPN and it was perfect."

"@MHutton93 @ForeverScept Nord is the best overall. Mullvad is the most secure. But won’t get as good speeds as Nord"

"@sinofrebellion @ChiefJdgLampkin @iamwilsxn Yes, as does Mullvad, NordVPN, ObscuraVPN. Do some research as each have differing levels of speeds, end point servers and other value add features. All are no logs, independently audited and have good support."

"...ve research and due to proximity and low censorship, I usually connect to the Netherlands. It gives speed and freedom of speech. I currently pay for @NordVPN but there's loads of good ones out there. Hope this helps."

"...ve 3 * 2TB. Might add a couple of 512GB drives I have. As I have c. 970Mbps download speeds I usually delete and reinstall as required. Have to turn NordVPN off though, as it affects download speeds."
