My subrsiption with surfshark is ending soon and I was wondering if there was something better around the same price. There are a lot of ads about many VPNs but a lot of them don’t look so “safe and private” as they want you to think so it’s hard to really figure it out. I don’t want to spend too much since I don’t use them very often but I kinda like the “change catalog of netflix” thing and to be safe while doing some “”“”“”“shady”“”“”" stuff
Can anyone comment on NordVPN?
I’m a 4 year user, but will cancel. Their app in just non stop abusing my phone’s notification system to try and upsell their other products. This is MY phone, not their personal marketing billboard.
Just that I will never trust any company who spends as much on marketing as they do.
I’m using it and it works. How much they are logging about you can’t really be said, just like about most other VPN providers.
Nord works as well as any other popular VPN, and if they’re the option you want you will most likely find all the features you need. They’ve cleaned up their act well since their leak accident in 2019. Their services have been audited for no-logs like most vpns, and they’ve stayed pretty clean. Got a bunch of pretty wacky but interesting additions that, while not my cup of tea, will be of good value to others.
I cannot give my mind in good conscience to any VPN with that much marketing behind it-- being pro-advertising, logical reason or not, is not gonna be the kind of user that goes to these federated instances anyway. I personally avoid them, but I would not give any hard ‘no’ to anyone using them.
