- Rated 5 out of 5by Chachkii, 2 years agoI find NordVPN intuitive and easy, quick to turn on and off and to switch locations.
I am in Canada and use a VPN to access download sites that are blocked in the US and Canada, and to stream video from sites in the US that are blocked in Canada. Works great for these purposes. - Rated 5 out of 5by Cyberheart, 2 years agoVery easy to install and setup, bringing with it all the protection a VPN can provide. Highly useful and recommended.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Volvith, 2 years agoUp until recently i haven't had any problems with NordVPN, but that's changed in the last 2-3 months or so. Recently they've started using LOCAL ISP's IP addresses for their services, which means that their prime selling point, being security, anonymity, and access to local blocked services and websites is pretty much null and void.
DO NOT USE THIS EXTENSION, as you do not have control over what IP your traffic is routed, and there's a good chance they'll use local (from the same country you are from) ISP's to assign you an IP.
IMPORTANT EDIT: Not just that, when refreshing your IP, or when the application randomly changes IP, it exposes your IP/network to your ISP, without any apparent killswitch built in. Citation needed, because there is a chance your network is still encrypted, but i somehow doubt that.
They'll say 'we choose the IP based on what's best for you', completely disregarding the problems with that. IP's change randomly quite often, which means that there's a chance that you won't even notice you've rolled into a local ISP when it happens. Refreshing your connection will often give you the same exact IP address as well, and you don't have an option to select a specific IP address in any way, shape or form.
Bypassing local restrictions is one of the number one reasons to get a VPN these days, and failing to deliver on the promise of that service is to fail as a VPN service.
I will not be extending my subscription past march this year (end of term), and i will not be returning to NordVPN.
I don't believe a 1 star review is warranted, since the service, operationally, functions quite well. The speeds are decent, and the ease of use is tempting to say the least, but the fact they're using local (national) ISP's for their services, paired with some of the other security concerns that have come up in the last 2 years regarding NordVPN (look them up if interested), i can not in good conscience recommend this extension.
Encryption alone means nothing if you cannot access services that are locally blocked by IP/DNS.
If you're looking for a good VPN service, there's better ones out there.
I for one, can no longer trust NordVPN with the security of my internet traffic.Developer response
posted 2 years agoHello. Please note that the VPN connection depends on multiple factors. We do offer a Kill Switch feature within our apps, as well as an option to purchase an additional static Dedicated IP. If you’re experiencing streaming or website accessibility issues, we'd suggest trying disabling the Threat Protection Lite feature in our app settings and clearing your browser cache. If the matter persists, do not hesitate to contact our support team at support.nordvpn.com for further assistance and more information regarding your concerns. We'd be happy to help! -G.M. - Rated 5 out of 5by Unusual Waffles Situations, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12145648, 2 years agoNordVPN works very well and seamlessly with Firefox. I do not use it all the time, but when I do it works well. Moreover, it is compatible with my Phone (Android) where I use it most, especially where there is free WiFi (stores, airports, etc.). I also use it on field work in countries where there are restrictions on internet use, for example when browsing for pages that are restricted or not allowed by the government.
I did not want a free VPN since I do not fully trust them and I hate ads. After some research Nord VPN seemed the best one, and I have been happy ever since. - Rated 5 out of 5by Nex Saturday, 2 years agoThe #1 VPN service available hands down. You can literally be in any country in the world anonymously without hackers or the government sticking your nose in your business. Your internet activity and security is completely safe on all devices.
