    Fast VPN But Be Mindful When Using.

    Most VPN's seem to be owned now by antivirus companies such as McAfee and/or acquired through 3rd parties, as some of the antivirus companies themselves have been acquired and transitioned by third parties, and with the recent security data breaches happening this year of various companies, some being repeatedly, consumers must be very cautious when choosing and using any online services, at this point especially a VPN. Functionally, so far NordVPN seems to be a good one. In appearance, some features remind me a bit of Tunnel Bear and Norton, the VPN service is almost as fast as the normal connection without the VPN is, it's fast when you are connected to the right servers, and the extra information to help people maintain a higher level of security and privacy they provide is spot on and very insightful. But given that, it should be noted they too have had a security breach which is widely known now, and sometimes the service acts a bit strange when using it, so it's best to pay attention to that while using this or any other VPN service. As for the security itself, it does I believe offer what is qouted by the service for the most part. As for the price, I think it's probably 2 or 3 times higher than it should be, but getting this subscription from BestBuy was the cheapest and most reasonable method I found. For what it does I'm happy with it, and it's very easy to use and setup on a range of devices if you need too.

    I always have reservations about software to keep my PC "safe" but I have to say that this one seemed way more legit (especially based on the reviews I read). Gave it a go and like my summary says, it's simple and easy to use. The best software is one that you never know is working and this doesn't make its presence too apparent (not like virus software that I had to delete off my PC when I first bought it). Good buy.

    This is my first try at a VPN and the sale at BB was a great way to get started with NordVPN. So far I have installed and used it on an old Windows 7, a iPad mini 4, and an iPad Pro. Can't tell its there except for the icon at the top... an small NordVPN icon for Android and a VPN box for iPads. It was to select a server in my city, which was my preference.

    I got this to use mainly when traveling so when I connect to unknown WiFi networks I can have, hopefully, a more secure connection. I have it both on my Android phone and a couple Windows laptops. It really is super easy to connect/disconnect and it doesn't seem to cause any problems or pop-ups when I'm not using it (like at home or work).

    It’s the vpn some youtubers that has sponsored videos advertise in their videos. Quite a lot of servers to choose from when you want to change your location to either encrypt your internet connection to not be followed or go around geolocked places on the internet.

    Good program, just need to monitor it as its protection drops sometimes as it switches you to another area with you requesting it. It does pop a message up when this happens, but if your afk when it happens you may miss it. Also if you try to watch your streaming services with this on you can be charged with the password sharing fees as it will show out of area.

    I have used several other VPNs and been disappointed by drastic decreases in speed, but in the two weeks I've been using Nord I haven't had that happen. It sets up easily, connects quickly and I forget it's even on. Great Security for a laptop on wifi.

    Glad I read the reviews offered by others. I have had one other VPN and while it worked ok, it just wasn't right. After research, I decided to try NordVPN. What a great choice. The price was right and the different time lengths offered made it the right choice. Very easy to install on my laptop and TV. After tweaking the settings to what I wanted, the program just does it's thing as advertised. Right now, I am fairly sure I will renew this program for and extended time.

    This software slows the system down but for privacy VPN are required today. Nord has servers all over the world so if you travel with phones or laptops you can be protected. This is my Second venture in to a VPN when I was working for a multinational company and not in private life. The only thing about NORD that I have found a problem the people on the chat line seem not to understand questions.
