Is NORDVPN actually best and fastest vpn? NEW USER EXPERIENCE!

Since i use nordvpn i’m really happy about it. It’s fast and easy to use. Is there any better?

Just my thoughts on nordvpn.

Well, Im stuck with the 3 year plan, and was happy for a while, but the last month or so, the speed has been terrible, so I might just bite the bullet and subscribe to a different service, cause the way it is now its simply useless.

Are you want fastests vpn or true solid with excellent support?

Before answering consider this:
I just wrote an mail to NordVPN with following context:
“Hereby I resent my mail from two days ago.
As you can see from my mail below I have sent my mail with few attachments and new created support ticket. I kindly ask to forward my case to higher-tech support and come back to me regarding my problem… However I have already send a couple of times generated support tickets with NordVPN Diagnostic Tools and also apart mails with attachment’s which couldn’t be sent due to connection drop issue. Since 14th of December 2021 I’m writing in vain. So, what’s the point of all possibility to generate a support tickets if support isn’t on professional level and I as paid customer cannot rely on adequate service?”

If my post is approved, cause you see many deleted comments than that says something about NordVPN and moderators here. Or does moderators get free VPN as a favor back?

Because of all of this fake reviews all over the internet, I don’t trust NordVPN at all.

So far, comparing to surfshark I get near perfect speeds and content access. E.g. with Surfshark, us server was 20-30mb/s, while Nord is 100+ easily.

I’m a bit upset about AdBlock feature, it’s not as solid as Surfshark.

So from casual streaming + browsing from public networks - seems solid now. Not sure what security experts would say

I would avoid it. I bought a 2 year plan on Black Friday and am regretting it deeply. Proton VPN was much better for P2P stuff.

For me it’s good.

The second VPN provider I use, the other one is so bad I’m not gonna even mention it.

The good things about NordVPN for me are:

  • OpenVPN TCP and UDP
  • Easy nordvpn command on Linux terminal (Raspberry Pi / NAS and other devices)
  • Can be used on router
  • Smart DNS(For when you are not concerned about hiding what you’re doing but want to access some Region Locked content)
  • Socks / HTTP / HTTPS proxyAlso for when you want to have access to content through one specific browser / gateway.

The cons are:

  • 2FA doesn’t not work with nordvpn login --legacy command.
  • It’s annoying to find host / ports with their server chooser, they could put it just below the server chooser… Besides the protocol.https://imgur.com/a/bKmMNqz
  • Login / Logout sillyness - The button for login on the top-right handside of the screen is there even when you are already logged in and it takes you to the dashboard.
  • Dashboard isn’t very useful.(There’s no Quick Settings page where I can see an overview of “Here are the settings for OpenVPN / Socks / HTTP / HTTPS and so on.” Yes I can find them elsewhere, but it’s easier to have all the socks and ports next to where you find the server list, like the server chooser like other VPNs, like the one we use at work. Not all servers have all protocols and not all features and usecases are available in every form. Also Why not HTTPS proxy on port 443)
  • Awful “support / tutorial” page.Seriously… it’s a page with lacking css, or at least looks like that if you use a modern browser with adblock and tracking blocker. Things VPN users would use!If the page was already like that when I was about to subscribe I’d have second thoughts. That page is broke for over one year now and nobody bothered to fix. (Let alone add the ports they use for each protocol if we want to configure everything manually)
  • Loathsome user support pages. It just loops you through the same old things… WTF… I should read the Tarot then! Shufle the same things in different order to guess what I should do.

(Edit: I hit ctrl+enter accidentally while posting)

(Edit 2: Don’t get me wrong! I still find it an overal positive experience, but if they don’t improve I’ll look for other VPN providers)

Ever since I started using nord, every single thing has been really slow or doesn’t connect. I’m close to just disabling it and not bother with another vpn if this is how they all function.

9

I think … it depends on where you read those reviews. As a user of NordVPN I’m satisfied with the programm. But I also read other experiences…

I’m still looking for the bést VPN, but not found it yet, I guess. Anyone a suggestion? :relieved_face:

10

Well i’m just normal user and nordvpn just works. That’s what i’m happy about it.

11

Why you regretting it? I’ve been using and no issue at all.

12

Same. Without Nord, it takes me 15 minutes to download a film, with it on it takes me two days…
