1 year agoAs others have said, my biggest problem with NordVPN is the dishonest ads. Other big commercial VPN providers are guilty of it, too. A VPN provides very little in the way of security. Tom Scott has a pretty good break down of the problem with VPN ads.
I also object to their pricing. They push you to commit to a 1-2 year contract. If you have a good reason to use a VPN often (like bypassing geographic restrictions) then maybe it makes sense. For me, I rarely need it. If I do want to use a VPN, I can get 30 days with Mullvad for 5 euro without signing up for a year+ commitment.
