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 "Audit Verified"
10 reviews"I use NordVPN which is one of 2 I would trust that have been externally audited to ensure they keep no logs etc."
"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..."
"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."
"@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."
"Interestingly, PrivacyTools still recommends NordVPN as its top pick on its VPN page (as of January 2026), alongside Surfshark, ProtonVPN, and Mullvad. However, the site now operates more like a commercial/affiliate driven platform, with prominent affiliate links and promotions. For beginners just starting their privacy journey, this can be confusing or even counterproductive - recommending heavil..."
"...pp audit seemed to focus only on security from external attacks, rather than on the data privacy of NordVPNs own practices). NordVPN have commented on these trackers in the past and they make the distinction that they're not tracking browsi..."
"They sell the marketing data, not your tunnel data. Even North has passed security check. North make money from selling lies and promoting geo unblock."
"...vpn-protokollok (mind2). Nem tartanak logokat, nem adnak ki a hatosagoknak semmit. Ellentetben pl a nordvpn-el, ahol egy data breachet masfel evig titkoltak, 2025os auditnal tele volt gyengepontokkal a kodbazisuk, es ha kell kiadjak a fioki..."
