AI Summary

Updated

The service offers high speeds and is effective for changing IP addresses and general browsing. However, users express significant concerns regarding shady business practices, potentially misleading privacy claims, and a lack of transparency due to proprietary software. While it maintains a no-logging policy, the requirement for extensive personal information and the absence of port forwarding are notable drawbacks.

  • Shady business
  • No port forwarding

I've used this vpn and it's a good VPN to browse the internet. Not sure much about it's privacy claims but it's indeed a useful VPN for the ones who want to change their IP address.

Nobody recommends NordVPN, and I don't think I will. Their business is shady and ever since these advertisements and sponsors claim that it will make you anonymous is false, not only is this false advertising but dangerous if you take privacy/anonymity seriously. Their offices are headquartered anywhere in the world, They are legally registered in the UK (Known for being the infamous ties to the USAUK Agreement, known as 14 eyes), their servers are stored in panama, so all of that is basically storing data anywhere in the world and maybe that one nation might not be the only one out there as a server... Moving on to the shady business behind it, and I can't say better, all VPN companies own media companies that shill their products and promote their services including the one behind NordSecurity. Not to mention their products are proprietary so we might not know what they do behind the scenes, or if there is any backdoor (that is in theory). And since its popular, and overrated, expect the authorities to get more court orders coming from the service itself and maybe you might get busted, don't use it if you intend to do something illegal, since they aren't RAM servers. Anything outside the US can be intercepted, so if you connect the servers inside the US while you are outside the US, expect your data transmissions to be inspected by the feds. That is all I can say, there is nothing good to say about their business model, if it applies to any other VPN service.

It’s a middle of the road situation, the privacy is decent, they have a no-logging policy and immense speeds, but port forwarding is unavailable (though they have a workaround) and it requires a fair bit of personal info, plus there’s the inherently predatory nature of super low cost 2 year plans.
