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

"I have 3 phones and 1 server with direct nord connection, another 20 local network devices. No issues. 10 phones sounds like you may require a business account."

"@IntCyberDigest I'm curious how they gonna execute this in practice, when we've got bazillions of free OpenVPN servers. VPN is not only a service, where you have to register an account or even pay, like Nord or Proton. In the worst case you can buy a VPS outside UK and create own VPN there."

"I mean, you're no less reliant on hyperscalers because who do you think NordVPN is using to host? It's super cheap to set up one or more micro instances with the big providers and run your own VPN. It takes like twenty minutes to set up an..."

"I'm not using NordVPN, as stated. I'm running my own setup on VPS hosts (wireguard based), for cheaper than what I can accomplish in Azure, which is what I mostly use for work and is most familiar with. It's a small amount of money, and ma..."
