NordVPN: VPN Fast & Secure 4+

Honestly the best

I’ve tried express, pia, and other “free” vpn’s and they actually can’t compare. They’re not terrible but not the best. Honestly free VON’s are why I wish I never tried them because they basically sell your data for money right behind your back which is the OPPOSITE of why you use a VPN. You don’t know where your personal data is going. I did some research on Nord, and discovered they are pretty much the only one with un-hackable software and security. I know we like to be skeptical, but I honestly feel like NordVPN does care. I also have had zero issues with data connection other than me needing to manually go into the application, and refresh my IP connection to a different server and it just works! It’s not just about being a customer, it’s about giving the people what they want when it comes to giving access in hopes of “is my data actually safe?” running in the back of my head. Who truly knows?…But if it’s genuinely protecting my data from lunatics on the dark web who want nothing more than to take away your personal information, then I say it’s 110% worth it. I feel like from someone who doesn’t really know too much about VPN’s, I’ve come to learn that if it’s protecting you from WiFi and other unsecured networks, and giving you A-Grade data connection to servers across the globe, keeping you online with top grade encryption and keeping your data safe…then that is what truly matters.

THE best on the market… except…

I have been using NORD VPN for about a year now - the price is absolutely wonderful for a three year sub, with 5 devices that can be used at the same time. You can even use this on your WW-DRT router and protect everything to which it connects! Servers all around the world - and they are FAST! I barely see ANY lag when using the VPN. Some sites will not allow me to use it and still log in (T-Mobile, My Bank, etc.). However…

The desktop version allows me to specify apps for which the VPN does not protect - called split tunneling. The app for iOS has NO such feature. When I contacted them to ask about it I got a terse response telling me that NordVPN does not use split tunneling at all. Obviously someone does not know there own product and needs to be retrained by management! If they would add the split tunneling option to the iOS app it would be a perfect 5 star rating. I have to disconnect the VPN so that I can check my email simply because the email servers at Spectrum (Charter) will not allow a connection through a VPN - at least not somewhere out of country (I have not tried anything here in the US). This is a real PITA - especially if I forget to disconnect first, then have to go BACK and try again, then reconnect again… and if under a severe time crunch it just holds me back.

Hello. Apologies for the inconvenience. In the future Split Tunneling might be available on iOS devices as well but unfortunately we don't have an ETA For this. As for your email issue, we can still try troubleshooting it, please contact our customer support team at support.nordvpn.com and we will check what we can do. -A.Z

Pretty good app, needs improvement

I downloaded this app about a Month ago after I realized that I’m being tracked a lot and that freaked me out. It does not work if you get banned on Omegle though which was a let down for me but it is still useful for other things like just changing your IP address which is good for when trolls try to read out your ip to freak you out. It definitely makes me feel safer and fits my needs. It is definitely not needed if you don’t care about being tracked or having your information encrypted. Overall this app is very easy to use and easy to change your location which you can just tap and it changes. It has hundreds of servers all over the world which is nice. I have one account and have it on my phone and my pc and they aren’t synced so you can connect to one server on my phone and another on my pc and have different ip’s on different devices. I recommend
This app to paranoid people like me or people who are sick of letting people get ahold of their ip. One other reason I gave this 4 stars is because it is slow at times, most of the time it isn’t a issue but sometimes my browser wont load and I have to restart it. Not a huge issue as it is rare but I’m sure that they are working to make it faster.

TLDR: recommend this app to people who talk online to strangers a lot and don’t want people finding your address or if you have extra money and want a vpn for whatever reason
