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 "Port Forwarding"

"...el overwhelming if you are new to VPNs, especially compared to more beginner friendly services like NordVPN or Surfshark. In terms of cost, AirVPN is not free but it is still considered affordable by many users. The pricing feels fair when..."
"NordVPN does not perform port forwarding."
"I switched to PIA from NordVPN. One of the key decisions that made me switch is support for port forwarding, which I require, and competitive pricing when you subscribe for 3 years. My only complaint is that they don't really have an easy ..."
"Fwiw, I have moved my services from nord to airvpn. Nord does not support port forwarding which is important for things like torrenting and soulseek. I still have active subscription to nord until 2028 so I’m using it as a way to have alw..."
"...You'll see that it's not just my opinion, but that technically it's indisputable. I don't recommend NordVPN for downloading from trackers. I've already mentioned several VPNs that use port forwarding, which are more suitable."
