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

"Had it for 5 years now and honestly works perfectly, i use nordpass and nord locker so always get the ultimate plan. Worth it for me"
"same, have it for almost a year and everything works fine. a lot of people are skeptical about nord but idk why. if it's popular doesn't mean it is bad"
"I’ve had both. In my experience Express is faster and more reliable but the problem is, their protocols no longer work in my region so I bought Nord. Nord is cheaper and only a tad bit slower. If your region has no restrictions and money ..."
"I've used Express, Nord, PIA and Surfshark. For me, I've stuck with Surfshark for the past 5 years and still going. I've never had an issue with any of the servers whenever I need to connect to it, and I stuck with it because you can have i..."
"NordVPN. Good functionality but they tried to gouge me at renewal time. I resisted and they cut the price by 50% on another two year contract. I do have a little buyer’s remorse and wish I had switched to Mullvad or Tunnelbear."
"Been with PIA for over 10 years. Tried both ProtonVPN and NordVPN to see if I should switch, but they both were lacking (to put it mildly), so I stayed with PIA. Aside from the glitchy Automation in their Android app, everything else work..."
"Imo nord is way behind in speeds and connection with surfshark it just works very well I just got surfshark a week ago I still have 6 months left with nord so I'm fully committed to surfshark I've done speedtest from both and surfshark is w..."
