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

"...rt. Offiziell natürlich nur mit Wohnsitz in UK, aber dann funktioniert z.B. ProtonVPN, CyberGhost, NordVPN, ExpressVPN, ...  Mit einem Trip nach Rumänien oder Japan sieht man auch die meisten unserer Spiele :D"

"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..."

"I’m new to surf shark and to heavy VPN use. But here’s my take as someone relatively new to using VPNs. - it supports Wireguard (the newest VPN protocol that has less ‘network chatter’ and is generally faster) - very few support th..."

"Just now, my NordVPN subscription renewed today for 1 year. I forgot to cancel so I request a refund. They offered to give me an additional 3 YEARS FREE if I decided to stay. You're not experience enough with your retention tactics"
