NordVPN is cheap…
When it comes to security, cheap products worry me. Itβs not an area I advise skimping on.
Substandard VPNs have been caught with flawed technology that leaks the very data a VPN should protect.
DNS and IP leaks are a particular blight of many VPN services (Iβll share my findings from leak tests I ran on NordVPN later in this review).
βLow costβ VPN services like PureVPN have been caught making false claims about logging policies, and others, like Hola, were exposed for selling its usersβ bandwidth.
Other βbudgetβ VPNs are slow or wonβt work with your favorite streaming services such as Netflix.
JUMP STRAIGHT TO: Does NordVPN work with Netflix?
I could go on about the dangers of cutting corners with a VPN, but you get the picture. It costs money to run a good VPN service, which makes me suspicious about services costing as little as NordVPN.
And yet NordVPN scores highly on many review websites…
I wanted to see for myself if NordVPN was too good to be true.
In my 2020 NordVPN review, I put the service through its paces on both desktop and mobile to find out:
- Can NordVPN unblock websites (Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC and others)?
- Is NordVPN fast enough to stream video?
- How good is NordVPN’s security and what data does it log on users?
- Does it allow torrenting on its network?
- How would NordVPN stand up to the barrage of tests I put it through.
- How does NordVPN compare with its more expensive rivals such as ExpressVPN?
And pretty much everything else you’d want to know. My time with NordVPN ranged from rigorous performance testing to day-to-day usage to find out how it stacks up against the crowded field of competitors.
Iβve summarized my thoughts on NordVPN but youβll need to read the whole review to see the full extent of I what uncovered during the testing process.
Do I recommend NordVPN?
I recommend NordVPN to people who value both privacy and speed, need something inexpensive, and want something that can unblock websites and apps like Netflix. NordVPN works in China and it’s easy for beginners to pick up in a few minutes. NordVPN’s apps include a handful of specialty servers including double VPN, P2P, and dedicated IP addresses.
NordVPN operates more than 5,200 servers in 60 countries, and that number will probably have gone up by the time you read this. NordVPN employs military-grade 256-bit AES encryption. The apps use the NordLynx protocol by default. Torrenting is allowed, and the service follows a strict zero-logs policy.

NordVPN Pros and Cons
I summarized what I liked and what I didnβt from my time reviewing NordVPN. Iβll go into detail on each of these points and more later in the review.
Pros:
- Strong security and no logs
- Unblocks sites like Netflix that most VPNs can’t
- Extremely fast
- Works in China
- Up to six simultaneous connections
- Huge global server network
Cons:
- Streaming servers aren’t labeled
- Cumbersome desktop app
- No kill switch on Android
Speed: Is NordVPN fast?
In 2020, NordVPN launched a proprietary VPN protocol called NordLynx that vastly improved its speeds. This secure protocol is an extension of Wireguard, which is newer and more efficient than older protocols like OpenVPN and IKEv2.
As a result, NordVPN now tops the list of the fastest VPNs. It’s fast enough to stream video in 4K resolution, livestream HD video, and high quality video conferencing without sacrificing security.
I ran speed tests at multiple times of day on NordVPN servers in North America, Europe, and Asia. Across all times and locations tested, NordVPN averaged a download speed of 115 Mbps.
Here are the results broken down by region:
- North America: 112 Mbps
- Europe: 122 Mbps
- Asia: 112 Mbps
Most users won’t notice much of a difference unless you’re on a really fast connection, like 100 Mbps or more. I had plenty of bandwidth for high definition on-demand video streams and decent quality live streams without buffering. I was able to play fast-paced online games like Brawlhalla and Rocket League by choosing a VPN server either near myself or the game server.
It’s worth noting that I encountered the occasional slow server, or one that just wouldn’t connect. It seems like the NordVPN app isn’t that great at automatically selecting the best server, and I had better luck going into the server list and choosing one myself. In its latest redesign, Nord finally added the option to select a specific city in countries where it operates servers in more than one location, such as the US and UK. Choosing a nearby server improves speeds overall.
Note that these tests can only serve as a general indication of the performance you might see and cannot be considered definitive. The inherent volatility of the internet adds a significant factor of randomness. Users with faster connections will likely see larger discrepancies in speed.
NordLynx is twice as fast as other protocols
NordLynx is the new default VPN protocol on NordVPN apps, though you can also choose from OpenVPN and IKEv2. These are also good, secure options, but NordLynx offers almost double the speed according to our tests.
NordLynx is an extension of Wireguard, a modern VPN protocol that claims to be more efficient, simpler, and easier to audit than rivals like IKEv2 and OpenVPN. Wireguard, however, assigns each user a static IP address, which requires storing user data on the VPN server.
Because NordVPN is serious about its zero logs policy, it created its own βdouble NATβ system to establish a secure VPN connection without storing any identifiable user data on its servers. NordVPN dubbed the new and improved protocol “NordLynx”.
The company explains:
“The double NAT system creates two local network interfaces for each user. The first interface assigns the same local IP address to all users connected to a server. Once the secure VPN tunnel is established, the second network interface with a dynamic NAT system kicks in. Dynamic local IP addresses remain assigned only while the session is active and allow not to store any identifiable data on the server.”
Apps: What devices work with NordVPN?
NordVPN allows up to six devices to connect at the same time on one account, so it’s a great option if you want to share with family or a roommate. Apps are available for Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, Linux, and Amazon Fire TV.
NordVPN offers encrypted proxy extensions for Chrome and Firefox browsers. Think of these as VPN-ish tools that only encrypt and reroute web traffic from your browser and not from your entire device.
Some features that are available on the desktop app aren’t available in the mobile apps, and vice versa. For example, split tunneling is supported in the Android app but not the Windows app. This allows you to disable the VPN for selected apps and not others.
Conversely, the Windows version has an option for double VPN servers, but the Android app does not. Make sure the features you want are available on the apps you plan to use.
A new feature in the apps allows users to “pause” their VPN connection instead of switching it off entirely. When I un-pause, the VPN instantly reconnects. Switching off my VPN entirely would disable the auto-connect feature, which could leave me exposed, so the Pause feature lets me turn off the VPN without resetting the auto-connect.
Streaming, Netflix, and Kodi
Does NordVPN work with Netflix?
Yes, and better than most at that.
Check out this video of me accessing US Netflix from Canada with NordVPN to see just how easy it is.
NordVPN unblocks several streaming sites including but not limited to Netflix, BBC iPlayer, ABC iView, and Hulu. NordVPN accomplishes this through its trademarked SmartPlay feature, which is toggled on in the settings by default. A quick test by us proves NordVPN works as promised with Netflix. Weβve rounded up here a list of other VPNs for Netflix which have worked in our testing and here are more details on NordVPN and Netflix.
If I want to access another country’s Netflix library, NordVPN can unblock Netflix Australia, Canada, Japan, Netherlands, UK, and USA. You can connect to pretty much any server to unblock Netflix from abroad, but all of them except those I just mentioned will redirect you to the US version.
Not all servers in a given country will unblock streaming video. Unfortunately, NordVPN doesn’t show you which servers unblock what in the app. For some streaming services, I had to check NordVPN’s knowledge base on the web to find out which servers to use. Thankfully, this is just a small detour and I can favorite the servers that work so I can find them more quickly later.
NordVPN has been unblocking streaming services a lot longer that most providers, which makes me optimistic that it will continue to do so.
The apps work with all of the Kodi add-ons weβve tested them with. The Linux and Amazon Firestick NordVPN apps are particularly useful to Kodi users who stream on those devices.
Does NordVPN allow torrenting?
Yes.
NordVPN allows users unlimited P2P filesharing over BitTorrent or any other protocol. Some servers are specifically designated for torrenting, but itβs up to you whether you want to use these or not.
NordVPN’s security is airtight and the service doesn’t store any logs. Zero. Zilch. Nada. The company is incorporated in Panama, which doesn’t have any legal data retention requirements. NordVPN will never know what you do online while connected to the VPN.
Kill switches are built into the Windows, MacOS, and iOS apps. When enabled, the kill switch feature will cut off internet to your device to prevent leaks of unencrypted data onto your ISPβs network. On desktop, you can specify which apps are protected by the kill switch and which are not. For example, you can protect your browser from unexpected disconnections, but not your web browser. Unfortunately, NordVPN lacks a kill switch on its Android app as of time of writing.
Security
Here’s the encryption specs:
- 256-bit AES channel encryption
- SHA384 authentication
- 3072-bit DHE-RSA key exchange
- Perfect forward secrecy
If none of that means anything to you, don’t worry. NordVPN’s encryption meets military-grade standards and goes above and beyond the security needs of an average user.
At time of writing, NordVPN is in the middle of a transition to RAM-only diskless servers. The VPN server application—and in fact the server’s entire operating system—exist only on temporary memory (RAM). That means no data is ever permanently stored on the server. So if a server is ever seized by authorities or compromised by hackers, there will be nothing on it. RAM-only servers is an emerging trend originally adopted by ExpressVPN, but it is picking up steam among a few top providers.
The apps donβt leak any DNS or IP traffic while connected. However, I did discover a persistent IPv6 WebRTC leak when testing the desktop app. Here are the side-by-side test results from browserleaks.com:
As you can see, my real IPv6 address is exposed when connected to the VPN through WebRTC. This indicates a persistent IPv6 WebRTC leak.
So what does that mean?
Well, most people donβt have IPv6 in their homes, but many do. Google βwhatβs my IPv6 address?β if you arenβt sure.
Most web pages donβt use WebRTC, which is a protocol used mainly for voice-over-IP communications, including the browser-based versions of Skype, Discord, and Google Hangouts.
So most people don’t have IPv6 and most websites don’t use WebRTC, but the fact that the leak is persistent—it leaks all the time—is a bit of a concern. It could be used by a website to reveal my real IP address, and in turn detect whether Iβm using a VPN if I do happen to have IPv6 connectivity.
When it comes to dropped connections, which Nord has thankfully few, NordVPN has my back. I can opt between an all-or-nothing kill switch that completely disconnects the internet if the VPN connection drops, or an app-specific kill switch that lets me choose which programs are protected.
A recent addition to the NordVPN apps is CyberSec, which when enabled blocks ads, malware, and phishing threats. If youβre like me, youβve already got most of that stuff set up on your browser and antivirus program, but another layer of security never hurts.
NordVPN recently added a security featured dubbed WifiSec. With this enabled, the app automatically initiates a VPN connection whenever I connect to a new wifi network. I can set it to auto-connect to Nord on both secured and unsecured Wi-Fi networks. On mobile, I can choose whether auto-connect engages on a cellular connection, wi-fi, or both.
NordVPN is in the early stages of establishing colocated servers. Most VPNs simply rent out servers in data centers around the world. NordVPN says it is now in the process of setting up servers that are fully owned, maintained, and managed by NordVPN, although they still reside in data centers owned by third parties. This allows NordVPN to better control the configuration and security of individual servers, while the data center provides power, internet connectivity, and physical security. The transition to colocated servers started in Finland, and NordVPN hopes to have more of its network overhauled in the coming months.
Does NordVPN work in China?
Yes.
NordVPN announced in late June 2017 that it can unblock websites and content that are censored in China. Most users in mainland China should be able to simply connect to a server the normal way to bypass the Great Firewall.
If that fails, however, Nord instructs users to go into its appβs Settings menu, select Advanced Settings, and toggle on Obfuscated servers. This makes encrypted internet traffic look unencrypted, which prevents Chinaβs deep packet inspection system from identifying VPN connections. It might add a small amount of latency, but most users probably wonβt notice a difference in speed overall.
The obfuscated servers feature is currently only available in the Windows, Android and MacOS versions of the app. Read more on using NordVPN in China here.
Is NordVPNβs Customer Service Any Good?
NordVPN offers both round-the-clock live chat support and a ticket submission system.
I was connected to a representative on live chat support within two minutes. The rep seemed knowledgeable about the product and not like an outsourced firm that copies and pastes answers.
The website includes a decent array of search-able help and tutorial articles in the support section, including which servers to use to unblock streaming sites. Both the website and app are ad-free, and I didnβt receive any unsolicited emails during the test period.
NordVPN Pricing
On a budget? No worries.
NordVPN’s two-year plan costs $3.71 per month, the one year plan rises to $4.08 per month, and the 6- and 1-month long plans cost a steeper $9 and $11.95 per month, respectively.
NordVPN is cheap, especially if you opt for the multi-year plans. And if you’re splitting the bill with a close friend or loved one, it’s basically pocket change. At the current price, it would be tough to find a better all-round VPN.
NordVPN pricing |
|||
---|---|---|---|
2 year plan | 1 year plan | 6 month plan | 1 month plan |
$3.71 per month | $4.08 per month | $9 per month | $11.95 per month |
It’s worth noting that all plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can try the service risk-free and cancel if you are not entirely happy.
NordVPN also has a few other security products including a password manager and file encryptor. These are standalone products and are not included with the VPN, but they are connected to the same account if you buy them.
See NordVPN prices in your local currency here.
Finally, NordVPN Teams is a custom offering for businesses that want to protect their entire workforce. With Teams, staff can connect to the company network remotely, and all of the connections are managed from a single dashboard. The price for Teams is negotiated individually for each business, so you have to contact sales to find out how much you’ll be paying.
Should I buy NordVPN?
Now that Iβve used NordVPN for a few weeks, would I recommend it to others?
You bet!
Despite its low price, NordVPN offers a quality service with a sterling reputation. I strongly recommend it if you want to unblock region-locked content from abroad, bypass censorship in countries like China, or just hide your torrenting activity from your ISP. The apps are easy to learn whether youβre new to VPNs or have been using them for years.
The desktop apps can be a bit sluggish and the Android app sorely needs a kill switch, but those are minor complaints on the whole. I found a leak that could expose the IP address of users with IPv6, so I hope that gets fixed soon.

NordVPN is great, but it has some strong contenders.
ExpressVPN is more expensive, but with that extra cost comes a truly premium experience. It’s about the same as NordVPN when it comes to unblocking streaming sites, speed, and security, but it offers better router support and includes a smart DNS proxy service to unblock streaming video on devices that don’t normally support VPNs. The apps also support split tunneling.
If you want a more budget-friendly alternative than Express, consider CyberGhost. It’s the fastest VPN I’ve tested and costs about the same as NordVPN, while offering competitive security. It doesn’t work well in China, though, and it doesn’t unblock quite as many streaming sites.
Here’s a breakdown of how NordVPN compares to two of the most popular services, ExpressVPN and Private Internet Access (PIA).

See all reviewsI just finished a 3 year subscription with NordVPN and in general I was satisfied. I didn’t renew because the Smart TV app will not region unblock Netflix. NordVPN concedes this and has basically said they will not fix it. I would be worried about locking in for another 3 years in case they suddenly lose this support in their PC app and make a similar decision to not fix it.
I started by trying it out for a month and finally subscribed for 3 years..Β privacy and data encryption is a basic need for me, as I work with sensitive information. I also love watching sky through my Uk sky account in Bali, using Uk servers…Β overall there are noΒ issuesΒ with this service, you only have to chooseΒ the rightΒ serverΒ locationΒ toΒ have the fastest speed.Β β¨
I’ve been using them for a couple of months and I found out about them from this page. I was looking for a VPN that would work with NetflixUS and NordVPN was the first one to pop up. The application itself is good. It does not crash as some other VPNs do, it loads Netflix fairly quickly, the UI is pleasant and user-friendly. Pricing is my favorite thing, in this case, they are offering a substantial product, good price good quality. I would like that they start to offer customer support through calls, but that’s probably too much to ask.
I’ve been using them for almost a year now, and really surprised with this review as I’m getting only 20Mb/s drop on my 110Mb/s. As for everything about the product is really great, considering that they are one of most affordable in the industry. Yet the key selling point for me is the amount of working servers they have, almost every server works with netflix, which is the reason I’m using Nordvpn. The only concern is that they could add a few servers in China as there are a lot of TV shows that I wanna watch π
The following is a response from NordVPN support :
“Thank you for your letter.
Unfortunately, Netflix library of Japan region is not available using our service at the moment.
Because of that you are automatically getting the United States Library instead of Japan.
Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.”
I have been using NordVPN for just over 18 months to stream and d/l videos from the UK with virtually no problems. On 100mbps fibre connection and can consistently achieve between 60 – 80mbps d/l speeds.
On the odd occasion I have had issues, the support has been good.
Also very nice to be able to use a VPN in my own country when at airports etc on open Wifi and want to do a financial transaction.
Great value for money.
For me personally, it’s a worthy provider that does not stand still. Got a month subscription, and now will continue with a three years deal. I use it because of security and anonymity and my daughter uses it to watch British Netflix. So, only good experience for our family.
I bought 3 years but after 1 year is unable to stream a tv Chanel on 360 p 6 server in CHILE GOOD FOR NOTHING customer service is all bad they blamed developers so the balance of my 3 years is good for nothing
Hi, I’ve been using their app for 7 months and it seems ok. It fully carries out its function just like any other VPN. The main advantage is the price, as it is not expensive, and anyone can afford it. And considering the value for money, they stand out a little bit.
It drops connections – alot – support line has standard steps that do not work in most situations. This is a major problem for them. They blame it on anti-virus and have suggested to not run anti-virus. They switch you to TCP/ip v 4 – for on of their fixes. This is a big issue for them – the product is sometimes unusable. If you sign and extended contract their money back is only good for 30 days – they keep the rest not matter what the problems are.
I’d like to thank Nord’s customer support as the nice girl that I’ve chatted with helped me from the total isolation in Shanghai. I could access Facebook, Google and other apps in no time.
Paul: I recently signed up for NordVPN but it is very frustrating to use with any Amazon service. Not with prime, Whole Foods app, amazon.com, nothing…
Some of the NordVPN servers are still using TLS 1.0 for OpenVPN. Nord told me that they are gradually upgrading them to the current TLS 1.2 and hope to complete this by the end of 2018.
Hi Paul, I used to torrent avidly without VPN before until i got caught here in Germany and the fines were nasty (daughter streaming some films inadvertently!). As such, I am paranoid now although I purchased in 2016 a 2 year subscription of NordVPN but have hardly used it due to my freaking out that these Germans will catch me.
My question is, I want to download from Pirate Bay or kick Ass some films and some pro version cracks of anti-virus (Avast) and the works if you know what I mean.
Is this tool really hidding my behind to these greedy folks? Will my ISP catch me if it is true what i read above in some comments that leaks take place?
Am I safe with this thing or shall I wait until it expires in 6 months and get the heck out here?
thank you.
Hi Paul,
My Mac works on a OS X 10.10.5. Do you know if NordVpn can be run on it? If not, what Vpn that does could you recommend? Thanks in advance,
Olivier
Hi Paul. I was wondering if you used NordVPN with AsusWRT Merlin firmware? I recently had IPVanish and was very disappointed with IP and DNS leaks. I configured my router the way their website instructed and it worked for a couple hours, then leaked. I found a couple more configurations on youtube to try and again it worked for a bit then leaked. I was using Chrome browser and installed the WEBRTC network limiter and that helped with IP leak but not DNS. I spent hours on configuring without success. ExpressVPN doesn’t have my router (Asus RT-AC86U) listed on their compatibility list so I am looking for the next best thing and came across NordVPN. Do you think I should try it? I appreciate any info you can give me.
Trevor
I really loved NORDVPN last baseball season as it worked with MLB.TV flawlessly. However, this season (at least 2 games in) it doesn’t matter which country/city I try to connect from I receive a blackout message. π
Hope they fix this soon. Anyone else having the same problem?
Is nordvpn installed on Linux Mint XFCE using guidance or command line?
No we tested NordVPN in Sweden for NetFlix US yahoo worked 2,5 hours since then nothing but problems, extremely slow having a 100/100 connection this should not be a problem, we are imidiatly asking money back 99 US prepaid I think not.
Extremely disapointed back to UnoTelly scam.
If want watch Netflix dont use NordVPN you will become ectremely disapointed first it works a few hours and then BOOM busted.
You seem to test VPNs for different services (like video streaming), but you do no mention VoIP (Skype, Whatsup, Viber, etc).
It would be interesting to compare & recommend different VPNs for the specific use of VoIP in countries that attempt to block it (e.g. Arab Gulf countries)…
I would like to know whether it is really possible to hide my real iP location against snooping government or any skilled hackers using this vpn?
have extensively tested the multitude of vpn’s over 3 years, i have come across Nord VPN, which, although it looks rather odd, is actually rather satisfying.
it does what it says, and well!. i’ve checked doileak.com, torguard torrent checks, i’ve done the doileak torrent tests, and at least 5 others anonymous check websites…. all show that i am properly hidden.
i like this. a lot. and i will be using it…. oh, and speed is not an issue, its next to no drop.
I cannot recommend these guys.I signup today downloaded there installer and out of the box its not working on a brand new WIN10 machine. If you send them an email they will tell you that a support ticket has been opened – and man do I like to hear that. After hunting down one of the kits on the live chat I got really “great” help. first he pointed me to the installation instructions – well…it kind of insulting.Than he asked me to download a driver from some web site……I don’t think I should be asked to download a driver from somewhere install it using admin credential. Lets hope I will get my money back.
Interested in multiple connections at the same time – and down to ipvanish and NordIPN – concern is having two Amazon fire devices as well as PC’s and dont quite understand the limitations of either service for simultaneous connections – when my sons are here they want to do there thing as do I – will either of these work with all three of us on different devices? (xbox – fire tv – PC etc)
Worst customer service ever. Subscribed and cancelled the same day, 1 hour apart. We are now 10 days later, still no confirmation of cancellation and no refund. They say it might take another few weeks! It takes them forever to respond to my emails and they say it is because of my bank that it takes so long… bullsh*t! But it took them only one day to charge my mastercard! These people don’t deserve your money, take your business elsewhere!
among the two, iPVanish and NordVPN — which is better for me to watch live streamings and watch my amazon prime, netflix, and other net access (PH network doesnt allow these sites) another thing, how true is that VPN slows down your internet –thank you for whatever response i might get π good day
nord vpn claims to be the best but the truth is it actually doesnt hide your ip like everyone thinks…. if you simply type whats my ip into google while running the crappy coded software and run a torrenting program at the same time which is why half the world wants a vpn, you will find it will reveal your genuine ip and put you at risk!!! should you try to contact them about this issue they will ignore you and another thing about the poorly coded crap is it slows your pc completely!!! I SUGGEST ANYONE THINKING OF BUYING THIS CRAP TO LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!
Hola Paul! Cual es tu empresa de internet? Yo vivo en Colombia y quiero encontrar el internet de mayor velocidad pero nose cual.
Hi Paul
can you tell me how can the VPN be used by multiple usersοΌand how the price different if the account is using by 5 people at the same timeοΌ
It seems to slug my speed horribly
NordVPN is very enticing but it doesn’t have any Asian servers and more importantly servers inside mainland China. I need at least one server location and Nord doesn’t show of list any so its not an option at this point. I would be signing on if it had at least 3 servers inside mainland China and a few in Singapore or somewhere in Southeast Asia.
