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

"@billyswong @Sosowski @Congressenator Sorry i was wrong, checked the reply again, it was protonvpn, not nordvpn, but that too is just 3rd party distributed as a .deb instead of being packaged and then people blindly install the .deb, which mandatory depends on gnome for no reason, so that example isnt their fault"
"@Sosowski @Congressenator A top replies in this thread is someone saying it happened to them when they installed nordvpn. This is because it includes a widget tailored to gnome, so mint marks it as an optional dep. Its not gnomes fault if someone makes a widget for their de and mint packages it wrong"
