I have been using NordVPN on 3 of my devices for just over a year now and here is my NordVPN Reddit Review. Please comment your thoughts below!
My Favourite Features:
Fully Anonymous - I paid for my subscription using bitcoin so there was no way to trace it back to me. They also claim to have a no-logs policy so there really is no way for anyone to trace anything I do online.
Security - I use their double encryption so all my traffic is sent through the VPN twice making it pretty much impossible for anyone to decrypt. I'm not aware of any other VPNs that currently offer this feature, but I ALWAYS have this turned on when torrenting. They also have a kill switch which has kicked in for me a few times. It stops you from downloading torrents in the event that the VPN drops out.
Simplicity - The app is super simple to use, especially the mobile versions. My iPad is always connected without even having to open the app. I love the fact that I can have it installed on all my devices for the one price.
Price - They normally run discounts on their 3 year plan which is really cheap. I think for the moment they are one of the cheapest and as mentioned above they allow you to use multiple devices at no extra charge.
Worst Parts:
Speed - Most of the time the speed is great. But since I have the VPN pretty much always on I have noticed drops in speed sometimes. It’s not normally an issue because if I change the location that fixes the problem, but I wish I never had to do it in the first place.
Connectivity - I would say that for me I get a drop out at least once a month. I wish it never happens but it does. This is why it's so important that they have a killswitch to prevent my torrents from downloading while the VPN is reconnecting.
Bonuses:
Access to US Netflix - I travel a lot and when Im travelling outside the US my netflix changes and shows me less US shows and more shows local to the area. This often cuts out shows like House of Cards. But when I set my VPN to Washington DC I get all my shows back. You can also use this feature to access netflix shows from any country. Before using NordVPN I tried a few others and netflix detected the VPNs and wouldn't let me watch anything. NordVPN is the only one that has worked for this feature for me.
Cheaper flights - A friend of mine actually introduced me to this feature. I never knew that airline companies change their prices depending on which country you are booking from. All you need to do is set you country to somewhere in South America or Eastern Europe before opening a flight website and it will normally provide you with lower prices. You can still use your USD card to pay, and Google Chrome to translate the website back into english.
Conclusion:
While I dont think that NordVPN is perfect, I really do think they are one of the best VPN providers out at the moment. They have great encryption and decent speed. Even if they are not the best VPN they are definitely the best value overall.
Overall Rating: 4.5 / 5 Great Value
That’s my full NordVPN reddit review, would love to hear what everyone else thinks about NordVPN. I remember reading a lot of conflicting NordVPN reviews when I first signed up so I hope this one helps.
If you want to try it out they do have a 30 day money back guarantee. I did not personally test getting a refund this but I have heard that they honor it.
The lowest price I could find online at the time of writing this review was 70% off here:
