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... See more

Vpn not working

Serious problems with VPN not working at all. A number of Nord technicians were involved and it took time, many checks and adjustments. Nord didn't give up on the problem at all and finally were successful.
We have been testing the results for nearly a week now and the problem has not returned. Well done NORD.

Hello, Pauline. We're sorry to hear this left you feeling unhappy, we completely understand how confusing it can be to see a different currency at checkout than the one shown in your initial quote.
We do include a note in our communications that prices may appear in a different currency at checkout depending on your location or payment method, and we genuinely regret that this wasn't clear enough to avoid the surprise. -G.S.

Ongoing email issues

Since signing up, the VPN service runs smoothly, except for 1 persistent issue: I cannot send or receive emails while using the service. Each time, I have to shut off Nord VPN to do this. I have had numerous support conversations with Nord, but the proposed fixes are time consuming, complicated, and always temporary. I have given up and accept this as a limitation of using Nord VPN. At the last time of contact, I got some attitude from them about not following instructions, so I just gave up.
Initial support ticket 12809971 from Feb 2023. Last support ticket 18977581 from June 2025.

Hello, David. We're sorry to hear about the ongoing email issues you've experienced, needing to disconnect from NordVPN just to send or receive emails is far from the seamless experience we want to provide, and we sincerely apologize that our previous support interactions left you feeling dismissed rather than helped.
Email connectivity issues while connected to a VPN can sometimes be resolved by switching the connection protocol to NordLynx, which may handle your mail traffic more smoothly, it's a quick change within the app settings and worth trying if you haven't already.
That said, we'd really like to revisit this properly. Could you please share the ticket ID from your last support conversation so we can look into both the technical issue and the interaction you described? Your feedback means a lot to us, and you deserve better than what you experienced. -G.S.

Hello, Paul. We're sorry to hear that you've been experiencing slower speeds while connected, we understand how frustrating that can be, especially when you expect a seamless experience.
Connection speeds can be affected by the chosen protocol, so we'd recommend trying to switch to NordLynx in the app settings, as it's our fastest protocol and often makes a noticeable difference. -G.S.

Adequate service

Adequate service. Adequate support, adequate speed. If it was better or best in any category it would be a four or a five rating. 3 is adequate. I have definitely used better VPNs

I changed all my credit card details

I changed all my credit card details. New numbers and Expry date. When it came to auto renew i was charged $223. In Nords T&Cs they are allowed to acess your bank and charge fees to your card even if not provided to Nord. I pay to proctect my details not be accessed by a company. Abolsute scam. Avoid this company

A big improvement would be if the support AIs stopped wasting customer's time.

A big improvement would be if, during the live chat with NordVPN support, the AI assistant automatically would put you in contact with a human assistant who could then immediately solve your problem(s) instead of letting the AI keep telling you to be patient (this happened a few times, and when finally a human assistant took over, the problem was solved during that live chat). All in all I'm still impressed by the product itself - and maybe I should have insisted to talk with a human assistant during the live chat sessions with the AI assistant earlier.

Hello there. Apologies for any inconvenience you had with our AI agent. You should be connected to a live person if you ask for it. If not, perhaps you can update your review with the ticket ID you received? We would love to double-check on this situation! -L.L.

I loaded up Nord an hour ago and it says threat protection is on while it still hasn't connected. How can I trust this?

Quick support

I had an issue about the displayed end date of my subscription as I bought extra time to take advantage of an ongoing sale. The end date went down instead of up, which made me confused. Octavio helped explain that the displayed that is based on the other services on top of the VPN I got, and by disabling the auto renewal you can see when exactly each service will end.
