NordVPN Standard - 18-Month VPN & Cybersecurity Software Subscription For 6 Devices - Block Malware, Malicious Links & Ads, Protect Personal Information [Physical box]

works as described

GOOD

The software seems to work well to maintain my privacy. Every time I check the IP it doesn’t show anything like my true location. I also don’t get a bunch of targeted emails since it was installed. I put it on an old laptop that I had scrubbed free of all personally identifiable software, and wiped all histories and profiles that were placed in hidden files or cached. I used it with freshly installed chrome and have had no issues yet. My only question has been how my location is determined when signing up for twitter, facebook and the like. Even though my IP checker showed me as being in Miami, the twitter account picked me up as being in Europe, and Facebook thought I was in South America. I thought that was odd, and it forced me to do a little work with the accounts to correct my location to the US, but still well worth the anonymity.

Blocked by way too many sites/apps. Pause feature is nice but if you have to use it at least several times a day then almost totally negated. They require your keychain passcode on MacBook AND it was overly complicated (redirected twice then I had to sign in on my Apple ID every time). One time I couldn’t do ANYTHING on my MacBook for 2 hours as it wouldn’t accept the password but window wouldn’t disappear, effectively locking the screen. Installed it on a different MacBook and tried to do things different but had to type in MacBook keychain code regardless, every time i opened Nord. Considering that I can’t remember any other app requiring keychain pass in 10 yrs of owning a MacBook, and Nord’s shady practices (read below), I’m seriously wondering what they were trying to do to my MacBook. Lastly, they LIE about the subscription end date in their app. Since I had somehow missed the end date for my first month, was checking the end date for 2nd month a few times. My month was to end on the 5th. However, when I checked the app on the 1st, it clearly said my month was to end on the 10th, as I checked it against my calendar. When the 5th came up, though, my account was cancelled (as I put auto-subscribe on just in case). THIS is how I missed cancelling the first month, despite putting calendar and reminder notifications not only for this but every subscription I own. Was going to do the 30 day money back for the reasons above but obviously missed that. However, they wouldn’t cancel the 2nd month after I was a couple days late in cancelling, even when I offered to pay prorated. They even sent me the terms and conditions in quotes in an email. In light of their LIES about the subscription end date, makes perfect sense, though. Makes you wonder how many customers they’ve fleeced this way. NordVPN is so SHADY. Going with ExpressVPN next time out.

I have enjoyed your VPN. If I want to change regions I just choose a server and it works. Very simple. For my home system a change in router is necessary

Bought the VPN on line from the company and had it installed on 2 Android and 2 Windows devices. After several months of perfect functioning, I suddenly had an Internet connectivity issue. This was immediately followed by a nightmare of a problem with 2 printers. Between the two. I was bounced back and forth between HP, Microsoft, Spectrum and Canon. Some 15-20 phone calls and over 25 hours later, a Canon tech discovered that the culprit was Nord. Uninstalled it and issues were gone. Buyer beware.

In the past, I have used other VPNs while in Europe to access programs in the USA that were otherwise inaccessable. I assumed Nordvpn would be the same. It was for some websites, but when I tried to access my Amazon Prime account, Amazon denied me service, saying we see you are using a VPN. Then they restricted me to a few useless programs for those who are abroad. Beware.

It worked great for months and then it all came crashing down. First, I couldnt access Amazon.com. They told me to use the Canada server. That worked. Why does that matter? I have no idea. Then months later I couldnt access the net at all when it was on. They gave me a million things to try to fix the problem. Nothing worked. I shouldnt have to go through this. I am so disappointed in this product. I paid for multiple years. Now I have a NordVPN subscription for a product that doesnt work for what I bought it for.

Every time I try login to my bank it is block. Need to disconnect to get access

This is a great product for a first time user like myself. The setup was super easy and surprisingly fast considering I have a very old and slow computer. I am terrible with technology and I didnt even need help setting this up. Its a miracle! I havent had any issues with my internet speed or computer crashes etc, so everything runs smoothly. Also, it was shipped the same day I purchased and got here very quickly. Completely pleased, for $5 a month, this is a nice deal :)
