NordVPN Standard - 1-Year VPN & Cybersecurity Software Subscription For 6 Devices - Block Malware, Malicious Links & Ads, Protect Personal Information [Physical box]

Installation was easy. There are a lot of nice features. It wors splendidly on the android platform. I have used VPNs before but I wanted to try Nord. I installed on 2 different later model computers- Windows 11. Both had issues. I contacted technical support. they responded quickly and were helpful. However after 3 rounds, I really lost my patience. VPN is to make my life easier. I really dont have anything to hide but I just like avoiding the ad trackers. So no more NordVPN for me. I did a trial of cyberghost - installed easily and worked perfectly.

Require keychain password which is the administrator password on a Macintosh. Since I’m not willing to provide that to anybody else the software is not usable. Customer support offered no alternative so this purchase was a waste of money.

Addendum: My third year with NordVPN and Im having no problems with it (occasionally have to turn it off to gain entrance to a website but can turn it back on). Recent updates make it easy to change the level and form of security based on what you are doing on the internet. Much easier to use than in the past. Ive been using NordVPN for over a year and have communicated with them dozens of time trying to get this app to work on my iMac. But they always responded quickly with suggestions and the software updated regularly. I now reconnect it every morning and test it with Speedtest. Sometimes I disconnect and reconnect a half dozen times before I get a connection that has little impact on speed. I just added it to my 16 MacBook Pro and it worked perfectly from the start with virtually no loss in transfer speed. On the iMac, the VPN protocol is set to OpenVPN TCP. On the MacBook, the protocol is set to IKEv2. The latter is certainly working better so Ill change the iMacs protocol to IKEv2. On both, I have NordVPN set to open automatically after reboot and to close the browsers if it goes down. I also have it installed on Windows laptop and my iPhone. I dont think I was able to get it working on my Amazon Fire TV. Recent update seems correlated with an inability to download files one the mac using OpenVPN. Going to the same sites on the macbook using IKEv2, I am able to download the files.

Very easy to set up and use

I have purchased this Vpn in the past. It was easy to install and set up. It does what it claims to do. I have noticed it has had an issuse at times with connections but that could also be a problem with my isp. Over all a great product!

Wonderful product! Works Great and really does keep your idenity unknown.

I cant access my email or other important apps when I activate this product. Therefore, its a waste of money for me to have purchased it.

I bought this so I could watch my subscription to MLB without blackouts. I was told by the girl from Nord that this would work. It did not. When I called back days later I was told by another Nord employee that it would never work for that use because of the Smart DNS. It was a waste of money.

Impossible to reach someone from NordVPN on the phone. I have auto renewal. I cannot cancel due to an expired email address. I thought I was okay because my credit card on file expired. However, they were still able to charge. This is a quote from them. Please note that auto-renewal charges still go through despite your old card information being expired. This happens when the issuing bank remains the same, as they just redirect those new charges to the updated card. Please consider closely before signing up with NordVPN.

It used to be that Nord was cheaper than ExpressVPN and could still select from a wide list of servers. After they billed me this past cycle, they changed the program so you can only select by city - no longer can you access all the servers in a particular city depending on scenario, now they give you one per city. So the number of available US servers went from 15-20 per city, for about 12 cities (over 100 total options…) to just the roughly twelve cities (12 options). Despite still having 10+ months left in my annual subscription, they refused to refund because I wasn’t a new customer - despite them changing the product in a way that makes Nord totally useless. Then they dared to lecture me on being respectful to them when they’ve defrauded their client base by reducing their product’s capability - and bumping the price by $40! Now they’re the same price as ExpressVPN - but Express is faster, easier to use, gives more options, can be installed direct on to routers, and doesn’t suffer the lag times and blockages that Nord’s limited servers do. Avoid Nord at all costs - go with ExpressVPN.
