What We Like
- Minimal data logging: NordVPN only keeps track of the basics like email, payment information, and customer service interactions.
- Located in Panama: This means that NordVPN doesn’t answer to governments that require data collection and sharing. It allows NordVPN to uphold a “no-logs policy”.
- Bonus security features: NordVPN does its job as a VPN really well, but you get extra benefits from it too, such as malware scanning for downloads and dark web monitoring for compromised online accounts.
What We Don’t Like
- Customer service: It has a live chat and email support, but no phone support for technical problems that might require deeper troubleshooting.
- Torrenting: If you require a VPN for torrenting, not all NordVPN servers are going to work; only those that support P2P.
- Device limit: NordVPN has a 10-device limit, unlike other popular VPNs such as Surfshark and Private Internet Access that allow unlimited simultaneous connections.
Line
NordVPN’s Panama location, strict “no-logs” policy, and shared IP addresses makes it a great option for the privacy-concerned. It’s one of our top-pick VPNs because of its innovative features and strict adherence to security standards. That said, the overall service still has room for improvement.
