Impressive
May 28, 2023

I was previously a customer with the main competitor, after my subscription ran out I thought I would try Nord. Initially I had some problems connecting via 5G, I contacted support by email and received a response within 15 minutes. Once contact was made all further messages were responded to immediately. They helped me troubleshoot and fixed the issue quickly.
Since then I have had a fast and stable connection. With the previous company I always had to disconnect when using Netflix as the quality of the stream was poor, not so with Nord. I also haven't had any websites or services deny my connection.
I am impressed with Nord, the customer service is great, the stability and speed of the connection are excellent and of course the price is extremely competitive.
Having tried the two main VPN providers, Nord is the clear winner for me and I would recommend anyone to give them a try.

Best vpn service for travels
June 27, 2023

My job takes me to various countries and I really appreciate having a stable and reliable vpn service to protect my devices at all times. Bonus points for multiple features like threat protection and meshnet that comes with a vpn.

Garbage VPN
July 9, 2022

A little over 2 years ago, I decided to purchase NordVPN for 2 years. From the beginning, I noticed that NordVPN will not run if my AV is running in the background. So, every time I wanted to use NordVPN, I had to turn off my AV. I communicated this with their support team through email from get go. After multiple rounds of emails going back and forth, they could not fix the problem. At the end, they told me that I should not use AV when I want to use NordVPN. I told them does your software protect against viruses? They said "no". I asked them why you didn't tell me this from the beginning. They had no answer. I wanted to cancel my deal with them and they told me I cannot because I have passed my 1 month grace period which I was not aware of. Nobody told me there was 1 month grace period. I found their product "garbage" and I will never purchase their products or recommend them to anyone.

Great VPN. Better Customer Service!
May 6, 2023

I had an issue with my internet access after using NordVPN successfully for years. Their customer service was top-notch and helped resolve the issue. Their customer service is even better than their great VPN.

Amazing customer service
June 1, 2023

I had an issue with Nord VPN and sent an email to support explaining my issue. I was expecting the usual business day or two waiting for response. Not the case with Nord, they responded within an hour asking me for additional information and with my reply my issue was resolved within an hour and half.

Hello Amy, if you use quick connect function it's possible that it's picking the most optimal server for your location, which can be in HK. Nevertheless, we suggest reaching out to our support to troubleshoot your connection further. You can reach them 24/7 at support.nordvpn.com

The worst service i had ever seen. It works only 30 day then stoped and doesn't connect. Wrote to support team but they send different methods for solving it but none of them worked. Support team doesn't know how to solve it, just sends links and says correct it yourself tried all the ways but none of them helped. I asked refund monthly fee, i will use anther vpn service but they did not want to refund. I see that there are more users have this problem.

Hello Yusif, sorry to hear you are not satisfied with our service. Rest assured, our customer team suggested various solutions in an attempt to find the cause for your problem. Often VPN connection can be affected by other software installed on the device, native settings, etc., therefore, extensive troubleshooting is required. Nevertheless, perhaps you could update your review with a ticked ID? We'd like to escalate issue to our senior support people to contact you regarding the refund. Thank you.

I was a big fan of NordVPN for a long…
March 21, 2023

I was a big fan of NordVPN for a long time, but after being a customer for 3 year, I watched a YouTube video showing that they track their user's activity and were ranked one of the worst in several categories of a consumer reports article. I then asked for a refund only a few weeks past the 30 days of my fourth yearly subscription, and they refused to refund my money. They lost me as a customer. Instead I recommend Mullvad VPN, which ranked #1 on the consumer reports article.

Hello Lauren, rest assured we don't track our users activity while using a VPN. This fact is described in more detail in our Privacy Policy as well as verified numerous times by independent auditors. Regarding our money back policy, indeed we offer 30-day money back guarantee. However, it is valid for new subscribers, not recurring ones. Nonetheless, we are sorry to see you go and do hope that you'll give us another go in the future.

Bad customer service!
April 26, 2022

You cannot call them. I spent 45 minutes online chat, and they tried to bypass my problem. They could not solve it. They will not log into my computer to see the problem and then when I did everything they asked me to do, it did not solve the problem.
