Respect for the creators!! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13771877, 6 years agoI suggest you avoid NordVPN since it has serious security issues. By default it does not block network traffic when the connection to their server is dropped which leads to leak of your traffic. It can be turned on but the issue is that it is not default. Also in default, it does not change your DNS servers, which has the similar issue as above. Thus in default settings, it is as insecure as if you were not using any VPN at all (since you cannot forsee the connection drops to their servers). Second, even if you change the settings, there is no guarantee that this will stay so, updates or you yourself can delete the configuration without realizing what you have done and then go on browsing thinking that your security is tight but it is not. Any security product that is provided with such lax default configuration is a bad product. Lastly, they could not explain the protocol difference or how to determine what protocol is used when connecting to their servers as opposed to other solutions which also provide network traffic blocking and dns by default.
To update based on the request from the developper. Your customer support effectively said that you do not care what the default settings are since users can change it, again, this is the problem in itself. And again, you claim a secure privacy oriented product, this has to reflect also in its default settings. Without kill switch on, any vpn for security and privacy purposes is almost completely useless, the same goes for DNS.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15016888, 6 years agoSo much easier than switching the VPN on/off at a lower level and sometimes works even better than eg Network Manager under linux
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15012537, 6 years agoIs there any new update? It keeps getting disconnected, really annoying. Please check what's wrong and make it stable and improve it. Windows desktop application is working fine for me, this proxy extension should be repaired/updated.

posted 6 years agoHello. The issue itself is related to the browser's update. Hence, we'd advise you on downgrading it to 66. version to see whether the issue persists afterward, while we are working on a fix. Apologies for any inconveniences. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14547252, 6 years ago

posted 6 years agoHello. Do try downgrading the Firefox browser itself to 66. to see whether the issue persists afterward. Apologies for any inconveniences. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15001526, 6 years agoDiferente do programa que funciona perfeitamente, esta extensão é um fiasco infelizmente! Por muitas vezes voce é desconectado e fica pedindo pra logar novamente. Uma pena que seja tão ruim. Vamos aguardar futuros updates deste addon mas HOJE (dia 23/05/19) não recomendo o uso. É pedir para ter dores de cabeça pois fica caindo toda hora a conexão...

Sometimes the GUI thinks you're disconnected despite you're connected, so you need to relog each time you use your browser. Same problem on the extension from the same company for other browsers.
Sometimes says you're connected to a VPN server despite you're not : big security issue. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14990538, 6 years ago
