Using NordVPN from a country with…

Using NordVPN from a country with strict internet restrictions can be incredibly challenging. However, thanks to the help and support of the NordVPN customer service team, I was finally able to resolve my subscription renewal issue.

I would especially like to express my sincere gratitude to the two support agents who kindly extended my service time while I was trying to solve the problem. Because of their help and understanding, I had enough time to complete my renewal successfully.

Thank you so much for your patience, professionalism, and outstanding support. I truly appreciate everything you did for me.

Thank you, NordVPN team

Terrible VPN

Terrible VPN. It's on the same level as free alternatives, only it costs $100+. Sometimes free VPNs even work better than this one. Frequent connection dropouts, regular failures to connect to servers, and this happens constantly on all devices (Windows, iOS, Android). You could assume it's because of my country's blocks, but shouldn't a VPN—especially one that isn't cheap—be able to bypass those blocks?

Hi Danila, sorry to hear NordVPN hasn’t worked reliably for you. In countries with strict internet restrictions, VPN connections can be more challenging and may require specific settings to work properly. Please contact our support team at support.nord-help.com so they can review your setup across devices and help you find the best configuration. - P.B.

Nord VPN is a subscription trap

Nord VPN is a subscription trap. A first TWO year subscription from April 2024 until July 2016 cost EUR 128,30. In June 2026, renewal for a ONE year period was priced at EUR 179,88. Three weeks before due date, the costs for a ONE year subscription rose to EUR 214,06. I initially failed to switch off the automatic subscription renewal option, trusting that raises would be reasonable. In the present case, Nord VPN raised the initial subscription price within two years by 334%. I feel this is serious a rip-off. Company untrustworthy.

Hello. We're truly sorry to hear that the renewal pricing caught you off guard, we completely understand why seeing a significant difference between an introductory price and the standard renewal rate is frustrating.
To clarify transparently: our introductory prices are reduced to let new customers experience the full service at a lower entry cost. After that initial term, renewals are billed at the standard rate, which reflects the complete range of features, infrastructure, and ongoing development we invest in. We do send advance notifications about upcoming renewals and pricing before they occur, and we sincerely regret if those communications didn't feel clear or prominent enough in your case.
We'd genuinely like to look into the specifics of your situation. If you've already contacted our customer support, please share the ticket ID you received so we can take a closer look. If you haven't yet, please reach out to us at support.nordvpn.com, our team will be happy to go over your account and billing history with you. Your feedback matters to us and we take it seriously. -G.S.

The problem with NordVPN is it's SPEED

The problem with NordVPN is it's server's I live in Florida so I compared ProtonVPN to NordVPN. I only have one high speed service and unfortunately it's Xfinity NordVPN the first week only I did get a NordVPN server after that GSL Network Data Camp and PackHub server's only and I did setup NordVPN for the fastest server my 1Gig service was reduced to 250mbps download and 10mbps upload. ProtonVPN is much faster almost 850mbps download and 112mbps upload. So don't waste your money with NordVPN you will not get a NordVPN server.

Reply from NordVPN

Hello, thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We are sorry to hear the experience has not lived up to expectations. Just to clarify, names like GSL Network and PackHub are the data center providers that physically host NordVPN's servers. This is standard practice in the industry and does not mean you are connecting to a non-NordVPN server. Your traffic is still fully encrypted and routed through our infrastructure regardless of the data center name you see.

That said, the speed difference you described is something we take seriously and would love to investigate further. Speeds can be affected by a number of factors including server load, protocol selection and your ISP routing. We would encourage you to reach out to our support team at support.nordvpn.com so they can take a closer look at your specific setup and help optimise your connection. -N.L.

Very positive experience…

I’ve had a very positive experience using NordVPN. The app is easy to install and simple to use, even if you’re not very technical. The connection is stable, the speed is good, and it gives me extra peace of mind when browsing, especially on public Wi-Fi or when travelling. I also like that it works smoothly across different devices. Overall, NordVPN feels reliable, practical, and good value for anyone who wants more privacy and security online.

I purchased NordVPN for a temporary one-month need.

Ticket ID #21292248

I purchased NordVPN for a temporary one-month need. After returning home, I canceled the subscription immediately because I no longer needed the service. However, my subscription renewed automatically for another month.

I contacted customer support and requested a one-time courtesy refund. After multiple conversations and requesting a management review, NordVPN continued to deny my request based solely on its Terms of Service, without confirming whether my request had actually been reviewed by management.

My concern is not only the refund itself, but the lack of flexibility in handling a reasonable, one-time customer request.
