NordVPN(opens in new tab) is a popular VPN known for its strong security measures. The Panama-based company has many security tools available, such as shared IP addresses. And (like many VPNs), it’s located far from the EU and US, so it doesn’t need to collect your personal data or information. Details cannot be passed on to third parties.
NordVPN uses Next Generation Encryption (NGE) IKEv2/IPsec as standard and 256-bit GCM, a military-grade encryption program. You also have the option to use “Onion over VPN” or double VPN servers. This means that your data is passed through two separate VPN servers instead of one, which comes at a significant speed.
NordVPN keeps no logs of your online activity. This means that your personal data, online activity and browsing history cannot be monitored, collected, disclosed or intercepted by third parties. Users can also opt for DNS leak protection to secure their IP address and an automatic kill switch that will kill all or selected programs if the VPN connection drops. You can temporarily prevent your personal data from being made public. It also has an ad-blocking feature and protection against phishing threats.
Users can simultaneously link up to 6 devices to NordVPN’s servers using apps for Mac OS, Windows, iOS, and Android. The service also boasts unlimited bandwidth for torrents, decent download speeds, and a 24/7 live chat tool for support.
In particular, NordVPN is a favorite with one-season-a-day bingers because it can unblock geo-locked services like Netflix US, BBC iPlayer, and Amazon Prime Video.
