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 "No Logs"
13 reviews"I use NordVPN which is one of 2 I would trust that have been externally audited to ensure they keep no logs etc."
"for reliable fast, no logs VPN use - Nord VPN, express VPN, or Mullvad are solid picks that actually work well."
"NordVPN is trustworthy. They don't sell or access your data. They only make money from what you pay for the service."
"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 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..."
"@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."
"@CyberMoozy @ErrataRob Proton, Nord, Mullvad don't hold logs."
"I have always used a VPN for browsing for the last fifteen years. I have been a paying customer of Perfect Privacy, Proton VPN, Nord VPN. I have always said that everyone should use a good VPN -- it is basic digital hygiene. I am also a huge critic of the UK government's assault on digital privacy and free speech. But that said, I don't think this proposal -- requiring VPN companies to perform a..."
"Is NordVPN still worth it in 2026? I want to buy a VPN and I see lots of ads for NordVPN. I heard good things about them a few years ago, but I'm wondering if they'll still be competitive in 2026? Has anyone used them recently? How good i..."
".... Most VPNs are just private connections to a proxy (a computer) to change your external IP. Using NordVPN as an example, no they do not keep logs of where you are going or what you're watching. They do however, keep logs of what account i..."
"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..."
"I think I should explain ***how*** you get caught. when you torrent things you announce your IP address to everyone else in the swarm - that's the people you're downloading the material from and how they know to connect to you if they're d..."
