SCAMMERS

NordVPN are con artists. Their servers frequently go offline or cant serve all the traffic. Of course no compensation or refund is available. Customer service just ignores or threatens you if u complain Ask yourself - if NordVPN is willing to take money and not deliver a service, i.e. stealing, do you not think they will sell your browsing history to governments and companies? I personally think they do it. If you commit one immoral act another is easy.

Hello, John. We're truly sorry to hear about the ongoing connection issues and that our support team hasn't yet resolved them for you. Could you kindly share your ticket ID with us? We'll review your case and see what we can do to make things right.

Regarding your concern about us selling your data to third parties—we want to be clear that's absolutely not true. We don't engage in such practices and take pride in our strict no-logs policy, which has been independently audited multiple times. -E.G.

Beware of auto renewal rip offs

I've been with Nord for quite a few years , my subscription was auto renewed and the most expensive option was chosen. I only noticed the auto renewal options was on when I logged into nord to renew my subscription , somehow it was on, I normally make sure to cancel auto renewal as I like to choose the subscription at the time of renewal. I couldn't get a refund and the chat bot is next to useless. So this will be the last year that I use Nord as I find this behaviour unacceptable.

Goodbye Nord , you won't be getting a single penny out of me in the future.

Hello. We're truly sorry for the negative experience.

You're absolutely right that all our plans operate on a subscription basis, but you can cancel auto-renewal at any time and manage your subscription manually.

We're also sorry the chatbot conversation was frustrating. We'd like to review it and do our best to make things right for you. Could you share the chat ID with us? -E.G.

Major problem solved

I had a major problem as following a change of password, I couldn't open Nord VPN on my laptop. The Help team were marvellous giving me concise instructions specific to my Chromebook. I am a total technology dunce and whereas most help desks talk in unintelligible jargon, Nord didn't and eventually were able to solve my problem.

Customer service is non existent

Customer service is non existent. Emailed support and after 2 days still no reply. Avoid.

Update.

Sent off relevant information and still no reply. They then threaten me with filling out other information otherwise this review will be taken offline. I can upload proof of purchase and can upload my chat with the so called support agent on what happened and the fact I've wasted £68.98 on something that I cannot use. ticket (ID #21391237)

Generally just runs in the background

Generally just runs in the background. Occasionally have to turn it off to sign on to some applications. I should let Nord know when I have to do that but I am usually focused on what I’m wanting to do not being sidetracked.

I am extremely disappointed with this…

I am extremely disappointed with this service. My plan auto-renewed, and despite reaching out the very next day—without having used the service at all—customer support refused to cancel and refund the charge. I spoke with Marcos Fernandez from customer support, who was completely unhelpful and just hid behind rigid policies instead of doing the right thing for a customer. Watch out for their billing traps.

Hello. Thank you for getting back to us and taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your renewal experience left you feeling disappointed.

We understand how frustrating it can be when a renewal charge is unexpected. While our support team must follow our refund policy, we understand that this outcome was not what you expected, and we're sorry for the frustration it caused.

Please note that all of our subscriptions are recurring as mentioned on the billing page before purchasing the plan. Also, there's an option to cancel the recurring subscription via your dashboard or by contacting our support team. When it comes to our 30-day refund policy, it only applies to initial purchases. Our apologies for the inconvenience caused! G.M.

I used to use Avast

I used to use Avast. Not Bad. But since I've switched to Nord VPN, I'll never go back to Avast or any other VPN provider. For the bang for my buck Avast is awesome. They offer so many more servers, and connections in my opinion. Very fast an reliable service. They don't try to get me to buy 100 other services I don't need the way Avast did.

VPN is Poor

Chatbot is poor; can't resolve issues. Poor flexibility in changing location of Dedicated IP. Will not use this VPN again.
