    Bought this to use in China, to later find out it doesn’t work at all in China. Don’t get if you are traveling to China. Works great in America. Wish they would of told would be customers that their program does t work at all in China.

    didn't work at all and Geek Squad couldn't install it for me. After 4 phone calls and more than 6 hours work with Geek Squad I didn't get anywhere and finally I bought this product twice with no use so far. I wasted my money and time.

    Doesn’t work, extremely slow Speed-test. Consistently being knocked offline on Firestick. Inability to choose which VPN you want to connect to. 300mbps download Speeds when off drop to 30mbps if lucky when on. Save your money.

    Useful but slow and software is problematic

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I came to this from another VPN provider due to the sale and the fact that my year was up with the other provider. Heard a lot about Nord so decided to switch. Not a great idea. First off, it is much slower than the other provider. Understand that all VPN will slow you down some no matter how robust their servers are and how close to you they are. Even after swapping around servers to find a closer/faster one I was still a lot slower. Second, the software is problematic at times or maybe it is just NordVPN themselves. If I enable my VPN and start browsing I will find after some period of time that I show connected but I can't open anything. I have to disconnect and reconnect. This same issue exists on two different Windows machines. It also exists on a Linux box where I use OpenVPN for the connection to Nord, which leads me to believe it is their servers that are the problem more than the software. This also has happened on my cell phone as well as when the laptop in question is connected to other networks so I know it is not my local network setup. All in all this is not a bad choice for someone who just uses Windows and needs a VPN, but it is not a great choice for anyone who wants something that just works and works well.

    NOT COMPLETELY ENCRYPTED! (DNS SERVERS!)

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It's 2024 and they do not offer a secure DNS, an encrypted domain name service with their own servers! Simply outrageous and there's no way to find out until you install it and test it and see what's happening. Complete disappointment, am requesting a refund from Best Buy since Nord will not refund the purchase. He indicated that they are working on it but have no estimated time for completion. With Cloudflare have free DNS over TLS setup in my Asus router, which is actually more secure than Nord's own VPN with their unencrypted DNS.
