NordVPN offers a large selection of servers not only based on location, but also fit for several other purposes. Dedicated IP servers - Order a dedicated IP address which will be unique to you and will only be used by you. Double VPN servers - send your Internet traffic through two separate VPN servers for double encryption. Recommended for the most security-focused. Obfuscated servers - for those located in a country with heavy restrictions on Internet access. Onion Over VPN servers - For top-notch online security and privacy, where you can combine VPN and Tor network powers. P2P servers - Choose from hundreds of servers optimized for P2P sharing. NordVPN has no bandwidth limits and doesn’t log any of your activity.

Located in Panama, a safeJurisdiction which has No Data Retention Laws . Often VPN providers choose independent countries that don’t have retention laws and don’t require companies to store their customers information. Such as Switzerland, Singapore, Caymans, British Virgin Islands, Panama, and so on.

P2P servers - Choose from hundreds of servers optimized for P2P sharing. Many web services and VPN providers try to discourage you from using VPN with P2P by throttling your bandwidth and intentionally slowing down the Internet service. By contrast, NordVPN has no intentions to mess with your Internet connection.

NordVPN keeps No logs of your activity online. They do not track the time or duration of your online sessions, and neither do they keep logs of IP addresses or servers used, websites visited or files downloaded. In other words, none of your private and secure data is logged and gathered at any time. Therefore, they are not able to give out any details about your online behavior, even if for some reason you would request them yourself.

Encryption. NordVPN take pride in their addition to their security protocol family is IKEv2/IPsec. It encrypts and secures your traffic by utilizing high-profile cryptographic algorithms and keys. Therefore, it provides military-level encryption standards, stability, as well as high-performance speed. OpenVPN is an open-source software which was designed to provide reliability, online security, and fast VPN experience. It’s a resourceful protocol and can be used for both TCP and UDP ports. Choose the TCP port as a more reliable option for accessing the web, whereas UDP is ideal for faster online gaming and live streaming.

Add-ons. NordVPN has implemented a Kill Switch technology that automatically stops either chosen programs or the whole device from accessing the web once a VPN connection drops. Its primary purpose is to protect your online activity and IP address from being abruptly exposed in case the connection from the VPN server drops. DNS leak protection - When you connect to NordVPN, your device will only use DNS servers fully operated by NordVPN. This means that there is no need to worry about your confidential information leaking or being intercepted by third parties. Double VPN - Double VPN, also known as a process of chaining VPN servers, is a technology allowing you to hide your online activity behind several servers via a VPN tunnel. To put it short, you connect to a VPN server which in turn redirects all the traffic to another server, from which the traffic reaches the final destination.

NordVPN claims that internet Speed can deteriorate up to 30% depending on your and server location. We personally expierienced about 10-15% loss of speed connecting to neighborhood countries. So most of the time you won't even notice drop of speed while using NordVPN. Of couse trying to connect to Hong Kong servers while being in London, will result in higher decrease of internet speed. If you planning on do some online gaming like Apex Legends, disabling VPN would be preferable.

Double VPN - also known as a process of chaining VPN servers, is a technology solution that allows hiding your online activity behind several servers via a VPN tunnel. As a matter of fact, the working principle is rather simple: you connect to the first VPN server, which in turn redirects all the traffic to another server, from which the online traffic reaches the final destination.

With the Onion Over VPN solution, your Internet traffic will be first routed through their VPN server and then sent to the Onion network. After the traffic reaches the final destination on the Internet via one of the Tor exit nodes, it will be next to impossible to trace it back to you. Normally, the Onion network can only be accessed with the Tor browser. However, with NordVPN’s Onion Over VPN servers you don’t need to download it. Just connect to an Onion Over VPN server, and NordVPN will over from there. However, if you prefer, you can also connect to their regular servers, and then use the Onion browser as usual.

Smartplay - is a special NordVPN feature that enables you to access websites that otherwise would not be available to you due to blocking IP’s.The SmartPlay technology is implemented by default on the server level and can be utilized using all NordVPN apps, which means there’s nothing to set up, update or activate. Using NordVPN you will be able to access geo-restristed content, such as Netflix, Hulu, or BBC. You can use all of these functions simultaneosly on up to 6 devices.

The only problem we expierienced with NordVPN was occasional inability to connect to Amazon website. Though changing server’s location would help with that. Besides that, we believe NordVPN is a market leader for a reason.
