NordVPN - a VPN proxy extension for Firefox by NordVPN

by Firefox user 14586994, 4 years agoGreat addon to complement the Nord VPN Desktop app in case you want to control when you activate VPN and which websites are whitelisted, but it has few issues:
1. There is no easy way to whitelist websites, apart from clicking on the extension, going to settings, going to Bypass List, copying and pasting the website url (needs to have http:// otherwise it won't work) then saving and reloading the website. They need to make this easier by having an option while right clicking the page or by having a simple "add to whitelist" button in the extension menu, like ad blockers do.
2. There are to blacklists. It would be useful to have the option to run the extension in either whitelist or blacklist mode and select which websites to be tunnelled and which to be not. Right now there is only whitelist option.
3. Ever since the recent Firefox update to version 89, the extension randomly stops working, it will not login into the account anymore. The solution is to remove the extension and add it back again which is a pain because all the whitelisted website are gone and there's no obvious way to back them up. I'm not sure if it's an additional Firefox settings that is causing this problem or the Nord VPN extension hasn't been updated yet, but once every 2-3 days I have to do this.
Overall I'm happy with it, but Widnscribe has more settings and is easier to use. Not as reputable as Nord VPN, but Nord could make the extension a bit more feature-rich.

Lately I've had to log into it every time I open Firefox. It just logs me out every time the browser is closed. This started happening like 2 weeks ago and still no fix. If that issue weren't prominent, it would be 5 stars.

Maybe it's the servers or something else entirely, but when it happens it just shits the bed. Otherwise perfect! It even has split tunneling!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Cabeça Branca, 24 days agoAdded this to Firefox running on Linux Cinnamon Mint 22, mainly as it's a bit fiddly with no GUI as a standalone. Been running Nord for a long time on everything else, Windows, Firesticks etc. Early days, but so far the extension works as expected with no problems

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17949533, a month agoGood experience with Nord. The current version just gives me the flexibility to use VPN only on Mozilla, while my PC isn’t affected. Thanks.
