Hi Tina, happy to know! If some things are still unclear you can contact Nord's support, they are great!! And don't forget to share your experience here www.vpnmentor.com/reviews/nordvpn/ :) Have a great day
How do I connect my SMART tv to the VPN? It's currently connected to my home ISP therefore Netflix by default is using my Canadian IP address but I want to watch US content
Installed NordVPN on firestick. Logged into their app and successfully connected. The Nord app showed my new IP Address, and I double-checked using findmyip sites in silk browser and those showed my new IP address as well. But when I check my IP in system info from within Kodi, it shows my unmasked original IP address. Kodi is the main reason I got a vpn. I cleared my cache and tried multiple servers. Any ideas?
I just got NordVPN but I keep getting this message on windows 10..(>FATAL:AII TAB-Windows adapters on this system are currently in use. ) I contacted customer service but no help from them.. can you help please.
Hi @superss90, unfortunately, we can't provide customer support for VPNs... Try contacting them again, Nord's customer support tends to be pretty helpful.
Hi, I have Nord on my new firestick (UK) when it is connected I cannot watch prime video even if I am connected to a UK server, never mind if I want to use it abroad. Can you suggets something or do a step by step video. Thanks great work.
i bought this specifically for popcorn time so is all i have to do is just connect to a server and let it run in the background while I stream popcorn time?
Andy, are there any guides for how to download torrents, using nvpn? Do I still have to use my bittorrent, or does nvpn itself have a downloader -- as opposed to setting up proxies w/ bittorrent...? Thanks
I have NordVPN on my PC, but other than the on/off switch being on and green, I don't see anything where it says protected. Should I just trust that the on/off switch being at the on position is as good an indicator that my PC is protected? It sounds like a dumb question, but in electronics a switch turned on doesn't always mean that it's...well on; not like a wall switch, thanks.
Hi Luis! Good question :) First, you should have a small pop up confirming you are connected: this means you are protected. But if you want to make sure your IP is really hidden, just go here www.vpnmentor.com/tools/ipinfo/ and check if your IP changed :D
Hi Andy I'm new to nordVpn and think i have problem not sure how to fix I live in Australia and use quick connect to connect to Aussie site via wifi my wifi icon shows in the taskbar like normal after a while the icon will change to the Lan (little Tv looking icon) not sure what's happening can you help Thanks
Hi Rich, Good eye! Nord made some updates to their interface since we made the video. One of the changes was to put Countries instead of Servers. Everything still runs the same way.
@vpnMentor, Andy, I have a slow internet connection, given that the VPN will slow it down even more, should I even bother getting the VPN? My ping is 24ms, download is 15.50 mbps, upload is 1.89mbps.
Hi the_one - That's a tough question. NordVPN offers a 30 money back guarantee, so I would say try it out, and see if it really slows downs your internet speed.
You can't go wrong with either aince they have dedicated torrenting servers. CyberGhost is a little less expensive, but still has great security features, so I'd personally go with that one
I decided to go with CyberGhost. Excellent so far. Stable connections, great speed. No issues at all and super easy to use. And the price is just right! Thanks!!
I'm not a fan! I was using CyberGhost, but wanted more protection especially webRTC. It was so slow and it affected my wifi, and disconnected me. As for customer service, I am still waiting several days now, to hear back from them. I don't see why they are so popular. I may try PIA next, to see how it works for me. Also they no longer take pay pal. I know this is 2 years ago, but this is what I see with the 2019 latest version.
I never saw the option for streaming, security, P2P and the like. It simply connected me to the nearest available server. I also couldn't help noticing a significant loss of downloading speed and frequent network disconnects. I tried running speed test with and without Nord enabled. I can't even connect to the site when NordVPN is on. So far I'm not very impressed.
Nord has updated their VPN client since we made this video. You can find the specialty servers like P2P on the right hand side just above where it says "All Countries." As far as it continuously disconnecting and poor speeds you should check with NordVPN support, they are usually really good with solving these issues.
And, here the next day, I emailed them asking to cancel my subscription. You have to email them and deal with someone in person to cancel. When buying it, you can do it in two minutes online. I know other people don't have these problems but it was super slow!! No matter what location I used. Also wouldn't let me access my banking site.
Do I have to change any settings in firefox for downloads from file servers like uploaded.net or rapidgator to be encrypted by my Nord VNP? Any help would be great. Cheers.
Hi Patrick! Sorry but we can't help here... You should definitely ask NordVPN support directly so we won't confuse you :) Let us know what they told you, it might help others! Have a great day
I haven't had any issues connecting with Windows 10 - The best advice I can give you is to talk with their customer support. They are quick to answer on chat, and really helpful
I used NordVPN until they were unable to resolve my issues with viewing BT Sport from their UK server. After several tweaks suggested by NordVPN that did not work, I switched to PureVPN (for less cost) and had immediate success in viewing BT Sport from their UK server. NordVPN has not responded to my request for a refund. Very poor customer experience.
Hi Byron, Welcome to the world of VPN! The VPN won't configure automatically to your other devices, you'll have to configure each one. If you're using NordVPN, you're allowed to have up to 6 devices connected simultaneously. As far as the specifics of to connect your IPTV and smartTV your best bet is talk with the NordVPN support staff and they'll be able to walk you through the process. If you could take a few minutes and write a review about your experience so far with your VPN, our community would really appreciate it. - www.vpnmentor.com/reviews/nordvpn/
vpnMentor this is confusing stuff so I’m chatting with the nordvpn support and they’re saying I can’t set it up because I have a smart tv and not an android but yet I can still use iptv on my smart tv does that make sense? Uhhh I give up 😩
Don't give up just yet. I quickly checked the NordVPN FAQ page and it says that in order to connect to a SmartTV you'll need to set up the VPN on your router, and that will automatically work on your other devices. In your I[TV settings is there a VPN configuration section, that's where you would put in your VPN provider, username/password.
NordVPN keep adding servers all the time, so we see they improve speed actually. But if it isn't fast enough for you, I would recommend trying the first from this list of fastest VPNs www.vpnmentor.com/blog/the-fastest-vpns-we-actually-tested-them/
Actually last time I checked Nord had 860, but they grow fast so this can change. Express Also have more than 1000 but honestly this just part of the picture. If both have 1000 servers and Express have X2 more users, you'll actually see Nord being much faster. And almost non of the VPNs share their user-base numbers. If you are looking for the fastest VPN, yes, Express today is that one, and of course they put special attention to the U.S. In any case, they have 30 days money back policy so there is zero risk in testing them out. Check here how quick the refund process is (the annoying part is that they force you to use the chat, but it's fast) www.vpnmentor.com/blog/close-expressvpn-account-get-refunded/
Hi Amcor09, you can select either a specific server or a country :) you can also set it up to "Use Current Connection" or "Use Quick Connect"... Have a great day!
Sir.. Im using android phone.. I want to know if ut is needed/required load or data for me so that i can connect to network/server. I used free trial and i observe it required data even small data so thst i can connect.
Hi! Basically you need to be connected to the internet in order to access a server. So you have 2 options: either you connect to a Wifi network, or you already have the data in your plan. Good luck :)
I used to be with SmartDnsProxy and used to be able to access Netflix in various countries. Then suddenly it was US only, which wasn't an issue, but I decided to sign up with NordVPN instead when my 2 years ran out. I've had nothing but issues and still am not able to use it after months as I have to setup the VPN on my router to work on my Apple TV. There is no support and the support they give is outdated and not relevant to new router models. I would not suggest NordVPN unless you want to use it on specific devices that is not a router.
Subscribed the service with nordvpn, the staff seemed available over the clock...but slow to process solution The connections l2pt/ipsec that nordvpn advertise, change the only server with this protocol twice daily and sometime withdraw the service entirely. So you not connected and show your actual ip with no warning from the provider When connected the speed slow down of at least 50%... Vpnmentor never published my genuine review...so make sure u trying well the service in the first 30days...
I just tested it after seeing your comment and I had no trouble watching US Netflix. It could be that you're connecting to a server that was blocked by Netflix. Try using United States #2383 and see if that works
@@vpnMentor :thx for the update. Gonna try it. I already recently recovered Netflix UK and BBC iPlayer by eliminating obfuscated servers and (quite counter intuitively) reducing hiding methods to the minimum... By the way, never had any problem with All4 or ITV hub!
I like NordVPN. The only thing I dislike is that Amazon Prime blocks it. There are workarounds, I haven't tried all of them yet but so far none have worked. My internet speed is fairly slow compared to what I see a lot of reviewers getting but it's free with my rent and is sufficient. One other reviewer mentioned how the speed according to tests seems slow but torrents download fast and I have had that as well, not a bad thing. For torrent users it being based in Panama and outside of the 5/9/14 eyes is good cause that is some scary stuff.
This is strange to read since on all of our tests we had no problem accessing Amazon Prime with NordVPN. I'd advise you to contact Nord's customer support for help.
Cracking video with only my minor suggestion that a little more on Apps would help a novice like me. Obfuscation? no clue and also what it means to allow the VPN total control of your connection?? is it reversible I wonder? Anyway I bought it and thank you
Hi there! A VPN will always impact your internet speed... But I'm sure 30-35 is still great to do anything you want (streaming, downloading, etc). Do you feel a big difference? Let us know! :)
Hi Carole! You're right. Nord is known for its super high-security features. Like their CyberSec feature that blocks suspicious sites. Nevertheless, even if Nord aims at providing the ability to avoid the need of an antivirus, we have to know that it's still new ground and we can't yet recommend you to let your antivirus go.
man i wanted to go to nord but pll in the comments section saying it suxs its so hard to find the right vpn even if im runing a high fiber 1000mbs internet will it still bother me on speeds yes are no let me know plzz thank u
This is very strange. I suggest you contact support. you might be using an older version or some special problematic server. They have a very kind and efficient chat support.
I had the same issue. Slow speeds but even worse keep getting kicked off the internet. I did talk to their support team many times and they are very nice and i followed their recommendations for changes in DNS addresses and a few other things but nothing helped. Finally had to ask for a refund as i had it for only a week. I was really hoping it would work. Had paid for 3 years.
You could also buy a physical card with a code on it from a store like Bestbuy with cash for the unlimited anonymous. Also like how it works with tor to aparently. Tor alone is even good, but tor and a VPN are good. Especially if you don't want your ISP seeing your using tor (Because it can look suspicious) but there also legitimate reasons for Tor.
Nord works with openVPN and Linux but doens't have a dedicated Linux client. You can see instructions for how to set it up here - nordvpn.com/tutorials/linux/openvpn/
Hi, I'm thinking of taking out a subscription with NORDvpn. On the signup page there is a section to select your country. I've noticed if you select the US there is no tax but if I select the country I'm actually in, tax is added. Do I have to select my country of residence or can I select the US? I don't particularly want to pay a bunch of money grabbing bureaucratic c*nts anything for doing f**k all, if I can avoid it. Sorry, did I really say that? What I meant to say of course is: "those awfully nice people at the tax office". Regards Max
I would assume that it depends on where payment is coming from. If you're using bitcoin you can select anywhere, but if its a credit card that is connected to your local bank, you'd probably have to pay the taxes.
Hi Madhu, This is weird! We recommend you contact Nord's customer service, they'll be able to guide you to make it work. And do not hesitate to share your experience with other users here: www.vpnmentor.com/reviews/nordvpn/ Have a great day!
I just signed up for the monthly plan to try it out. I have to say I'm pretty happy with it indeed. I have 275 Mb/s down through my ISP and I'm getting around 185-200 Mb/s on the closest servers and full anonymity through NordVPN. The speeds are very reliable too. I tried a few different servers overseas and was surprised to see that even though my ping went up, I was still easily hitting over 150 Mb/s. This is entirely acceptable for me considering the benefits. I can finally torrent once in a while (not something I do all the time) without worrying about Comcast being notified and then sending me a notice about something I downloaded that has a copyright from 20 years ago. I hated the fact that Comcast knows exactly which protocols I'm using and can throttle them accordingly, now that net neutrality has basically went bye bye since the Trump administration repealed it (thanks you orange fuckface). I've done some extensive testing to make sure NordVPN isn't leaking my IP via DNS in my browser. There are plenty of websites that will let you test this thoroughly. DNS leaking is a HUGE issue with a lot of VPN's. But not with NordVPN. Also, their kill switch works not only as a Global kill switch, but you can use it to kill certain apps if your connection drops. Say I'm on Utorrent and I lose my connection, NordVPN's killswitch will disable my internet until I close Utorrent. You can set it up like this for other apps as well. Or just set it to automatically kill it no matter what, whenever your VPN connection goes down. I'm happy to report that I haven't had my connection drop one time. I'd love to set up NordVPN through my Archer C9 AC1900 router, which is possible via L2TP\ipsec or PPTP. However, the developers do not recommend using these protocols. Unfortunately my stock Firmware doesn't have the recommended WAN VPN protocols (OpenVPN or IKEv2/IPSec are the ONLY protocols the developers recommend ), although technically I can get it to work with L2TP\ipsec it just wouldn't be fully secure. I could however install DD-WRT, which supports the most secure VPN protocols, and then have a secure setup that goes directly through the router, instantly protecting all my devices without meddling with individual apps. That said, right now my router can have DD-WRT flashed but it's impossible to flash the old FW back at this point. Until they figure out how to give me an out, I'm not going to flash DD-WRT. I mean you never know how buggy an open source FW is gonna be and this router is a very good router that I'm not ready to just brick yet. I'll just use NordVPN's software to connect securely, until there are some more stable methods to install DD-WRT on my router. I need the option to flash the factory FW back to it, just in case. Overall, I recommend this VPN wholeheartedly.
Hey TechWizard - glad you're enjoying your NordVPN. If you could leave your feedback on the reviews section of our website I'm sure that our community could benefit from some of the research that you've done here. www.vpnmentor.com/reviews/nordvpn/
BTW, is there a way to register on the site so I don't have to post an anonymous review? Maybe I'm just tired right now but I see no way to register an account, yet i see user reviews with avatars and names so somehow they've joined, which is confusing to me. ???
You don't mix a review and tutorial together, especially when it comes to a VPN. The way you present your review is just like a sponsored content. A review needs to test the claims made about the product from features, servers, apps, CS, and its pricing. Then shows its pros and cons, and compared with other 3 popular VPNs as well. Don't forget to give your verdicts.
Nord Vpn is useless. I used their vpn while gaming online and hackers still messaged me my real ip address and booted me offline. Point is Hackers can crack any Vpn service
You might want to check other videos we did. You'll see it is not that bad. Anyhow, Nord added more than 1000 servers (doubled the amount) in the past 4-5 months and we see a big improvement on that front. They really try to fight for the title "fastest VPN" which was exclusive to Express up until now.
Okay thanks. I will probably go NordVPN because it seems to be highly regarded now. My download speed averages around 100mps so I imagine I can still get a server(s) that will maintain something close to that.
Shame you feel so. You can check our reviews page. Hundreds of honest user reviews. Some negative, most are positive, and for a reason if you ask us. There are really few vpns that can unblock Netflix, and the price is a bargain. These are the facts. But we'll keep working to make you and others trust our reviews. You're correct about being careful. Too many non honest review sites out there. www.vpnmentor.com/reviews/nordvpn/
"If you have Multiple devices Nord app will hijack your router!" If you do not install your app on all your devises, the ones that do not have your app will not work! You will have a strong signal to these devices, but your router will not allow a connection! I have 1 computer with Windows 7, 2 with Windows 10, a Mac Pro which is 3 months new, 2 iPhone 6 Plus, IPhone 5, and 4. They all failed to connect without your app! I have A Philips TV with Wi-Fi cable and Apple TV. Only the television works! On March 29,2018 I contacted your support, and after 3 hours you tech ask me to add this to my DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Google Public DNS) on the devises that did not have your app installed. Guess what? Magic occurred, they worked, except my cable/wifi channels in my t/v. I do not know how to access the wifi devise or the t/v. Tuesday (April 24, 2017)I replaced my HD with a SSD. I have a new Windows 7 OS. I could not access the internet, I had a very strong signal. I installed your app. And I could then get on the internet. I then formatted the Drive, reinstalled Windows 7, again could not access the internet. I then added 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to my DNS an I can now get on the internet. NordVPN email. “Right now we can only say that VPN does not interfere with the way router works, it is simply technologically impossible. VPN connection only affects your connectivity on the device with which you are connected to VPN. If the device is not connected to VPN it cannot be affected.” As of now this is total Bullshit! I continue to strongly recommended people pass on this horrible app. I also strongly urge Apple Store to stop selling this product! Also you are blocking my ability to you use your chat. That is a piss poor way of conducting business! Also before I purchased your app I advised who ever I was chatting with that I was in Russia. I asked on two occasion if that was a problem. and will I have access to all of you servers. Your answer was yes I will. That is another Bullshit lie. I am restricted to only 13 countries now!
I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with NordVPN - I do want to point out that we are merely a review service and can't offer tech support. Is there a reason that you don't want to download the apps onto your devices so that the router will connect them all? Most of the reviews that we receive about Nord are very positive, so I'm a bit surprised that you've had such a rough time with them.
Here you have one more review . And my opinion is it’s crap 💩It never worked for me it’s 1st and 2nd it’s slowed down my phone even while it was off, my WiFi even wasn’t connecting . When I deleted my phone got back to life. Don’t waist ur time and money people.
Sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience! Most of the users that wrote reviews to our website had a very different experience (and so did we) - but it might be a good idea to try and talk to Nord's customer service, as they might be able to help you solve the problem.

Under the video it says NordVPN Review & Tutorial 2019??? However, this was published on Aug. 3, 2017. Why the discrepancy? How trustworthy is that?
You answered so many questions for me. It was easy to understand. I still dont understand a lot of the features but I will learn.

Does they bill that 3$ every month or the full amount for say 2 years as you get the subscription??
If you get a monthly subscription, they bill monthly. If you get a 2 year subscription, they bill you for the subscription up front.
What was the website that you used to check your IP address?

Great review I followed your link and signed up!
i use Roku for netflix. Does it work for Roku?
I need a static ip server address and have to know the name of the city the server is located. No logs either. What VPN service has that?
Nord is actually a great option! Here are some other recommendations: www.vpnmentor.com/blog/best-vpns-with-dedicated-ips-fastest-and-cheapest/

I'm new to nordVpn and think i have problem not sure how to fix I live in Australia and use quick connect to connect to Aussie site via wifi my wifi icon shows in the taskbar like normal after a while the icon will change to the Lan (little Tv looking icon) not sure what's happening can you help
Thanks
Hi! For any issues with NordVPN is better to contact their customer service. They're usually very helpful and quick to answer
I don't have "Servers" on my menu at the top left. I have: Map | Countries | Settings
Hi Rich, Good eye! Nord made some updates to their interface since we made the video. One of the changes was to put Countries instead of Servers. Everything still runs the same way.

ok, thanks.
For p2p torrenting what would you recommend, Nord or Cyberghost? I'm trying to decide between those two. Thanks!
You can't go wrong with either aince they have dedicated torrenting servers. CyberGhost is a little less expensive, but still has great security features, so I'd personally go with that one
I decided to go with CyberGhost. Excellent so far. Stable connections, great speed. No issues at all and super easy to use. And the price is just right! Thanks!!

Your right their speeds are atrocious! I'm thinking these people saying they get fantastic speeds are biased if you know what I mean.
I just downloaded NordVPN today. I can't access my online banking even when using a USA address. Haven't tried my credit card yet.
And, here the next day, I emailed them asking to cancel my subscription. You have to email them and deal with someone in person to cancel. When buying it, you can do it in two minutes online.

NordVPN connects perfect with Chrome extension, android app BUT it won't connect any servers with Windows 10 program. Any advices???
I haven't had any issues connecting with Windows 10 - The best advice I can give you is to talk with their customer support. They are quick to answer on chat, and really helpful
Only workground I have found is to Diable/Re-Enable the virtual ethernet adapter it has created. Not sure how to fix that.
I used NordVPN until they were unable to resolve my issues with viewing BT Sport from their UK server. After several tweaks suggested by NordVPN that did not work, I switched to PureVPN (for less cost) and had immediate success in viewing BT Sport from their UK server.

Hi Byron, Welcome to the world of VPN!
The VPN won't configure automatically to your other devices, you'll have to configure each one. If you're using NordVPN, you're allowed to have up to 6 devices connected simultaneously.

Hi, im looking for the fastest with a lot of server in the US. but Nordvpn is very slow in here. what vpn do you think is best in the philippines?
NordVPN keep adding servers all the time, so we see they improve speed actually. But if it isn't fast enough for you, I would recommend trying the first from this list of fastest VPNs www.vpnmentor.com/blog/the-fastest-vpns-we-actually-tested-them/
by any chance do you know how many US servers does ExpressVPN has? nordvpn has like more than a thousand it is what i need but its so slow here.
Actually last time I checked Nord had 860, but they grow fast so this can change. Express Also have more than 1000 but honestly this just part of the picture. If both have 1000 servers and Express have X2 more users, you'll actually see Nord being much faster. And almost non of the VPNs share their user-base numbers. If you are looking for the fastest VPN, yes, Express today is that one, and of course they put special attention to the U.S. In any case, they have 30 days money back policy so there is zero risk in testing them out. Check here how quick the refund process is (the annoying part is that they force you to use the chat, but it's fast) www.vpnmentor.com/blog/close-expressvpn-account-get-refunded/
TNice tutorials is literally the best tutorial on TH-cam. It's right to the point, and very informative at the sa ti. Thank you so much
Hi Tanawat, thank you for the feedback. Glad it was helpful! Have a great day! :)
In the 'Auto connect to [select]' option, does this let you pick a specific server, or just country?
Hi Amcor09, you can select either a specific server or a country :) you can also set it up to "Use Current Connection" or "Use Quick Connect"... Have a great day!
Sir..
Im using android phone..
I want to know if ut is needed/required load or data for me so that i can connect to network/server.
I used free trial and i observe it required data even small data so thst i can connect.
Hi! Basically you need to be connected to the internet in order to access a server. So you have 2 options: either you connect to a Wifi network, or you already have the data in your plan. Good luck :)
If i start playing the division in pc i start lagging why
are my emails encrypted when using a vpn?
What if it says unprotected
Excellent!1! Well described and easy to understand...Thanks
I used to be with SmartDnsProxy and used to be able to access Netflix in various countries. Then suddenly it was US only, which wasn't an issue, but I decided to sign up with NordVPN instead when my 2 years ran out. I've had nothing but issues and still am not able to use it after months as I have to setup the VPN on my router to work on my Apple TV. There is no support and the support they give is outdated and not relevant to new router models. I would not suggest NordVPN unless you want to use it on specific devices that is not a router.
Subscribed the service with nordvpn, the staff seemed available over the clock...but slow to process solution
The connections l2pt/ipsec that nordvpn advertise, change the only server with this protocol twice daily and sometime withdraw the service entirely.
So you not connected and show your actual ip with no warning from the provider
When connected the speed slow down of at least 50%...
Vpnmentor never published my genuine review...so make sure u trying well the service in the first 30days...
doesn't work anymore with netflix. And no help whatsoever on NordVPN website except promotional blurb and videos like this one !😥👎
I just tested it after seeing your comment and I had no trouble watching US Netflix. It could be that you're connecting to a server that was blocked by Netflix. Try using United States #2383 and see if that works
@@vpnMentor :thx for the update. Gonna try it. I already recently recovered Netflix UK and BBC iPlayer by eliminating obfuscated servers and (quite counter intuitively) reducing hiding methods to the minimum... By the way, never had any problem with All4 or ITV hub!
I like NordVPN. The only thing I dislike is that Amazon Prime blocks it. There are workarounds, I haven't tried all of them yet but so far none have worked. My internet speed is fairly slow compared to what I see a lot of reviewers getting but it's free with my rent and is sufficient. One other reviewer mentioned how the speed according to tests seems slow but torrents download fast and I have had that as well, not a bad thing. For torrent users it being based in Panama and outside of the 5/9/14 eyes is good cause that is some scary stuff.
This is strange to read since on all of our tests we had no problem accessing Amazon Prime with NordVPN. I'd advise you to contact Nord's customer support for help.
Cracking video with only my minor suggestion that a little more on Apps would help a novice like me. Obfuscation? no clue and also what it means to allow the VPN total control of your connection?? is it reversible I wonder? Anyway I bought it and thank you
Thanks for your comment. Basically the vpn can tell what's getting in and out of your internet connection. The good ones, don't keep the logs.
Is it ad?
After installing my 150Mbps fell to 30-35 at best. Even with a server in my home country :( 29 days left on this....
Hi there! A VPN will always impact your internet speed... But I'm sure 30-35 is still great to do anything you want (streaming, downloading, etc). Do you feel a big difference? Let us know! :)
Can you make a video in plain English for us nontechnical or like me seniors?🤔
Hi Jim, this video might help you better understand this entire topic: th-cam.com/video/_wQTRMBAvzg/w-d-xo.html
THIS DID NOT ATTACK THE ISSUE OF THE MALWARE. . . HOW IS IT RATED
Hi Carole! You're right. Nord is known for its super high-security features. Like their CyberSec feature that blocks suspicious sites. Nevertheless, even if Nord aims at providing the ability to avoid the need of an antivirus, we have to know that it's still new ground and we can't yet recommend you to let your antivirus go.
man i wanted to go to nord but pll in the comments section saying it suxs its so hard to find the right vpn even if im runing a high fiber 1000mbs internet will it still bother me on speeds yes are no let me know plzz thank u
Most comments are positive actually. You can try alternatives www.vpnmentor.com/bestvpns/overall/
Gaming Is Life those comments are all BS. Nord is great.
NordVPN is great unless you're in China. Haven't been able to connect to anywhere since December 😒
I like it. But it keeps disconnecting on me. How do i keep it from doing this?
This is very strange. I suggest you contact support. you might be using an older version or some special problematic server.
They have a very kind and efficient chat support.
I had the same issue. Slow speeds but even worse keep getting kicked off the internet. I did talk to their support team many times and they are very nice and i followed their recommendations for changes in DNS addresses and a few other things but nothing helped. Finally had to ask for a refund as i had it for only a week. I was really hoping it would work. Had paid for 3 years.
Great review. Clear and comperhensive.
You could also buy a physical card with a code on it from a store like Bestbuy with cash for the unlimited anonymous. Also like how it works with tor to aparently. Tor alone is even good, but tor and a VPN are good. Especially if you don't want your ISP seeing your using tor (Because it can look suspicious) but there also legitimate reasons for Tor.
Thank you, very helpful video!
Bitcoin can be traced
well i signed up w/ my email (my full name) and using my debit card....so basically worthless now lol. whoops.
great review
open vpn Linux ?
Nord works with openVPN and Linux but doens't have a dedicated Linux client. You can see instructions for how to set it up here - nordvpn.com/tutorials/linux/openvpn/
Hi,
I'm thinking of taking out a subscription with NORDvpn.
On the signup page there is a section to select your country.
I've noticed if you select the US there is no tax but if I select the country I'm actually in, tax is added.
Do I have to select my country of residence or can I select the US? I don't particularly want to pay a bunch of money grabbing bureaucratic c*nts anything for doing f**k all, if I can avoid it.
Sorry, did I really say that? What I meant to say of course is: "those awfully nice people at the tax office".
Regards
Max
I would assume that it depends on where payment is coming from. If you're using bitcoin you can select anywhere, but if its a credit card that is connected to your local bank, you'd probably have to pay the taxes.
Hi vpnMentor,
Thanks for your reply. I think Bitcoin may be the solution.
Regards
Max
Very informative tutorial, thank you
Thank you Peter, glad you enjoyed it
It's not connecting on Android phone
Hi Madhu, This is weird! We recommend you contact Nord's customer service, they'll be able to guide you to make it work. And do not hesitate to share your experience with other users here: www.vpnmentor.com/reviews/nordvpn/ Have a great day!
I'm on an Android phone no problems at all
I just signed up for the monthly plan to try it out. I have to say I'm pretty happy with it indeed. I have 275 Mb/s down through my ISP and I'm getting around 185-200 Mb/s on the closest servers and full anonymity through NordVPN. The speeds are very reliable too. I tried a few different servers overseas and was surprised to see that even though my ping went up, I was still easily hitting over 150 Mb/s. This is entirely acceptable for me considering the benefits. I can finally torrent once in a while (not something I do all the time) without worrying about Comcast being notified and then sending me a notice about something I downloaded that has a copyright from 20 years ago. I hated the fact that Comcast knows exactly which protocols I'm using and can throttle them accordingly, now that net neutrality has basically went bye bye since the Trump administration repealed it (thanks you orange fuckface).
I've done some extensive testing to make sure NordVPN isn't leaking my IP via DNS in my browser. There are plenty of websites that will let you test this thoroughly. DNS leaking is a HUGE issue with a lot of VPN's. But not with NordVPN. Also, their kill switch works not only as a Global kill switch, but you can use it to kill certain apps if your connection drops. Say I'm on Utorrent and I lose my connection, NordVPN's killswitch will disable my internet until I close Utorrent. You can set it up like this for other apps as well. Or just set it to automatically kill it no matter what, whenever your VPN connection goes down. I'm happy to report that I haven't had my connection drop one time.
I'd love to set up NordVPN through my Archer C9 AC1900 router, which is possible via L2TP\ipsec or PPTP. However, the developers do not recommend using these protocols. Unfortunately my stock Firmware doesn't have the recommended WAN VPN protocols (OpenVPN or IKEv2/IPSec are the ONLY protocols the developers recommend ), although technically I can get it to work with L2TP\ipsec it just wouldn't be fully secure. I could however install DD-WRT, which supports the most secure VPN protocols, and then have a secure setup that goes directly through the router, instantly protecting all my devices without meddling with individual apps. That said, right now my router can have DD-WRT flashed but it's impossible to flash the old FW back at this point. Until they figure out how to give me an out, I'm not going to flash DD-WRT. I mean you never know how buggy an open source FW is gonna be and this router is a very good router that I'm not ready to just brick yet. I'll just use NordVPN's software to connect securely, until there are some more stable methods to install DD-WRT on my router. I need the option to flash the factory FW back to it, just in case.
Overall, I recommend this VPN wholeheartedly.
Hey TechWizard - glad you're enjoying your NordVPN. If you could leave your feedback on the reviews section of our website I'm sure that our community could benefit from some of the research that you've done here. www.vpnmentor.com/reviews/nordvpn/
Thanks. Yeah maybe I'll copy and paste what I wrote here. Could help some people decide.
BTW, is there a way to register on the site so I don't have to post an anonymous review? Maybe I'm just tired right now but I see no way to register an account, yet i see user reviews with avatars and names so somehow they've joined, which is confusing to me. ???
There is no way to register, our reviews are anonymous. The system just randomly adds an avatar to each review.
Thanks, good info.
Too bad you cannot use amazon, amazon prime, or netflix without jumping through hoops. I wish i went with a different vpn.
What hoops are you jumping through to connect to Netflix and Amazon?
Would you prefer Nord-VPN or Express VPN?
It all depends on what you're looking for in a VPN - They both have great qualities.
Only in the US
The "Password Verification Failed" "Auth" After Trying to Connect is Killing me...
Yikes. Did you try reaching out to their customer support?
You don't mix a review and tutorial together, especially when it comes to a VPN. The way you present your review is just like a sponsored content. A review needs to test the claims made about the product from features, servers, apps, CS, and its pricing. Then shows its pros and cons, and compared with other 3 popular VPNs as well. Don't forget to give your verdicts.
Thanks for the tips ;) If you want a full review or comparisons you can find them here: www.vpnmentor.com/reviews/nordvpn/
doesn't tell you how to connect to other devices
Which other devices are you trying to connect with?
well, nordvpn allows you to connect to 6 devices, so how does one go about doing that, cannot find any tuts that show you how to do that
Tittle say "Tutorial 2019" and this video has been uploaded 2016. Therefore APP tutorial is TOTALLY useless! Thanks!
A new video is about to come out real soon. You can turn on notifications on our channel so that you don't miss it!
2019 even tho the video was uploaded in 2017.
New video coming up real soon! Turn on notifications to stay updated ;)
Nord Vpn is useless. I used their vpn while gaming online and hackers still messaged me my real ip address and booted me offline. Point is Hackers can crack any Vpn service
This is a commercial not a review.
i'll ask my computer expert to see what he thinks
this is an advertisement vid , not a review
It's not wrong though
I regret signing a 3 year deal with Nord VPN. My experience of them is their speeds are pathetic.My advice STAY AWAY!!
how hard were you running your device?
Don't deal with VPNs unless you know what you are doing.
That's always a good idea ;)
Quite a drop in speed in this comparison.
You might want to check other videos we did. You'll see it is not that bad. Anyhow, Nord added more than 1000 servers (doubled the amount) in the past 4-5 months and we see a big improvement on that front. They really try to fight for the title "fastest VPN" which was exclusive to Express up until now.
Okay thanks. I will probably go NordVPN because it seems to be highly regarded now. My download speed averages around 100mps so I imagine I can still get a server(s) that will maintain something close to that.
This video feels a bit sponsored to me. I'll look elsewhere.
Shame you feel so. You can check our reviews page. Hundreds of honest user reviews. Some negative, most are positive, and for a reason if you ask us. There are really few vpns that can unblock Netflix, and the price is a bargain. These are the facts. But we'll keep working to make you and others trust our reviews. You're correct about being careful. Too many non honest review sites out there. www.vpnmentor.com/reviews/nordvpn/
It's a review and tutorial on a specific VPN tool. Why should it not deal with its subject matter? Nord wo rks very well.

Actually, ExpressVPN won when they compared NordVPN and ExpressVPN...
"If you have Multiple devices Nord app will hijack your router!"
If you do not install your app on all your devises, the ones that do not have your app will not work!
You will have a strong signal to these devices, but your router will not allow a connection!
I have 1 computer with Windows 7, 2 with Windows 10, a Mac Pro which is 3 months new, 2 iPhone 6 Plus, IPhone 5, and 4. They all failed to connect without your app!
I have A Philips TV with Wi-Fi cable and Apple TV. Only the television works!
On March 29,2018 I contacted your support, and after 3 hours you tech ask me to add this to my DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Google Public DNS) on the devises that did not have your app installed. Guess what? Magic occurred, they worked, except my cable/wifi channels in my t/v. I do not know how to access the wifi devise or the t/v.
Tuesday (April 24, 2017)I replaced my HD with a SSD. I have a new Windows 7 OS. I could not access the internet, I had a very strong signal. I installed your app. And I could then get on the internet. I then formatted the Drive, reinstalled Windows 7, again could not access the internet. I then added 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to my DNS an I can now get on the internet.
NordVPN email. “Right now we can only say that VPN does not interfere with the way router works, it is simply technologically impossible. VPN connection only affects your connectivity on the device with which you are connected to VPN. If the device is not connected to VPN it cannot be affected.”
As of now this is total Bullshit!
I continue to strongly recommended people pass on this horrible app. I also strongly urge Apple Store to stop selling this product!
Also you are blocking my ability to you use your chat. That is a piss poor way of conducting business!
Also before I purchased your app I advised who ever I was chatting with that I was in Russia. I asked on two occasion if that was a problem. and will I have access to all of you servers. Your answer was yes I will. That is another Bullshit lie. I am restricted to only 13 countries now!
I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with NordVPN - I do want to point out that we are merely a review service and can't offer tech support.
Is there a reason that you don't want to download the apps onto your devices so that the router will connect them all? Most of the reviews that we receive about Nord are very positive, so I'm a bit surprised that you've had such a rough time with them.
Here you have one more review . And my opinion is it’s crap 💩It never worked for me it’s 1st and 2nd it’s slowed down my phone even while it was off, my WiFi even wasn’t connecting . When I deleted my phone got back to life. Don’t waist ur time and money people.
Sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience! Most of the users that wrote reviews to our website had a very different experience (and so did we) - but it might be a good idea to try and talk to Nord's customer service, as they might be able to help you solve the problem.
terrible tech service can not share vpn through tour computer not worth the money
Nord VPN is owned by Tesonet a data mining company lmao
太贵
Thank you. Excellent review
