## Reviews

### "Poorly supported and not developed enough" — 2.0/5

> **Anonymous User** | *10 June 2025* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Good amount of server locations, including the virtual servers. Decent speeds, although about a 10% loss on network speeds for the same country connections.
> 
> **Cons**: NordVPN's support is non existent, they do not properly resolve connection ticket with an acceptable time frame. Nordvpn meshnet does not work at all. been waiting months for a proper response and have given up hope on this. &#10;there is severely inadequate support for Linux/Debian based devices.  Some servers regularly drop connection. Strange structured pricing, be careful not to be sucked in to their incomprehensible pricing structure.

### "Great for personal use." — 5.0/5

> **Peter** | *13 April 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: So many countries, really useful in my role for testing Geo Blocking etc.&#10;Anonymous IP great for obscuring traffic.&#10;Some good introduction offers on price.
> 
> **Cons**: Wouldn't use for anything corporate, but happy to use for personal Security testing and such like. not sure the renewal costs will mean that i would not continue using after introductory offer periods.
> 
> great experience,  self updating but prompted within the app. &#10;no major issues, but i forget to turn it off on occasion.

### "Great VPN that is easy to plug and play." — 5.0/5

> **Philip** | *07 November 2025* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how the system is so straight forward and easy to use. All I need to do is launch the product and then hit the connect button. I don't need anything complicated, just straight forward.
> 
> **Cons**: There's not much to dislike, probably one of the things is that it logs me out frequently. So I need to keep logging in more frequently than I would like.
> 
> I have had a very good experience so far. It has been easy to set up, the price was good, and it has the functions that I use. It solves my problem well and isn't complicated\!

### "The Best VPN There Is\!" — 5.0/5

> **Cameron** | *03 March 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love that NordVPN is so accessible in many different countries, and within larger countries you can select a more specific city to connect to which makes it a very detailed VPN. The user interface is very user friendly and allows you to navigate the world map and select which country you'd like to connect to, and when you click "connect" the performance is great and the connectivity speed is instant. Once connected it will assign you a anonymised IP address which is great for anonymity.
> 
> **Cons**: I would say the thing I like the least about NordVPN is the high renewal prices for the VPN, especially if you have signed up using a sign up discounted incentive previously. This price hike can be hard to stomach, but I cannot fault NordVPN at all, it has no learning curve and is very user friendly, allowing you to protect yourself online.
> 
> My overall experience with NordVPN has been outstanding. I am astonished by how well developed of a VPN it is, while also being very user friendly and easy to navigate. The connection speed is instant and I've never had a problem connecting to any country in the world, especially the lesser known countries for example countries in Africa. A great product I wholeheartedly recommend.

### "Poor  to non existent Customer Service live or texted" — 1.0/5

> **Peter** | *11 February 2025* | Alternative Medicine | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Had it since 2019 ,have a contract until 2027 prepaid. Coverage ok but terrible customer service total lack of online live support.&#10;Although I have this VPN aettings are always on frequently I check the site and Its not protecting my veiwing sites
> 
> **Cons**: Total lack of live customer service. Too many hoops to climb through &#10;To reactivate / reauthorize account it will not allow you access siting that you've had too many attempts to establish reactivation. Then your on a lengtht time out before being allowed to further attempt to reactivate and cannot get a hold of any live agent EVER\!
> 
> Ok if you don't have to ever contact them. The service can be shut down on your media without any notification ,therefore you must &#10;Check constantly and go through painful reactivation steps\! Time is valuable ,Im not keen to waste mine on an unreliable VPN provider
