NordVPN Review NordVPN is a well known VPN provider that joined the battle for internet user privacy in 2012. The company that started NordVPN is called Tefincom S.A. The company works under the jurisdiction of Panama – a perfect jurisdiction as they don’t need to keep logs based on the laws of Central American country. Servers At the moment they have more than 400 servers in 27 countries: US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Austria, Brasil, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Isle of Man, Israel, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. A wise worldwide server distribution allows users from every part of the world to connect to a fast NordVPN node. NordVPN offers double VPN and tor over VPN solutions.

• Double VPN – a solution where the traffic gets encrypted at the first server, again encrypted at the second and only then leaves out to the internet. We have tested this solution and left with a surprised smile on our faces. The speeds were as on the regular server, having that in mind, it is one of the best privacy solution that any VPN provider offers at the moment.

• Tor over VPN – a solution where the traffic is encrypted at the NordVPN server in Sweden and then enters the famous Tor Network. The Tor exit nodes change every 5 minutes which means your IP changes as well. While being connected to the Tor Network you have an access to .onion websites that normally are hidden.

Privacy Policy As mentioned before, NordVPN doesn’t save or keep logs. The most important factor when choosing VPN provider and NordVPN flew away with the highest marks. Pricing & Payment methods NordVPN offers all-in-one packages for one month, semi-annual and annual subscriptions. That means that all servers are included into the package and the change between servers is completely free and unlimited. The 1 month subscription costs $8, while an annual subscription costs only $48 ($4/month). You can pay off for NordVPN services via PayPal, Bitcoin, Credit Card, Paysera. Nord excels in another must have for a VPN provider – an anonymous payment type. It was told a thousand times and will told once more – trust only providers that accept bitcoin. Refund & Free trial Internet market services cannot be fully viewed before purchasing hence the refund and a free trial are essential. NordVPN offers a 30 days money back guarantee which is more than enough to see if the services are not working for you and ask for a refund. Protocols & IPs NordVPN has the standard protocols for the VPN provider but their encryption overshadows the competitors. Nord offers the most secure protocol that is available – OpenVPN. You can choose between OpenVPN TCP & OpenVPN UDP protocols. OpenVPN TCP gives you the strongest security, while OpenVPN UDP is the fastest of all protocols, usually used for downloading, video streaming, etc. The encryption for OpenVPN is SSL 2048bit. L2TP offers a military grade 256bit-AES encryption. MPPE-128bit is provided for PPTP protocol. NordVPN offers 60 different IPs. Nevertheless, the count increases dramatically when you add over 1000 IPs from Tor network that can be assigned to you when you are connected to their Tor over VPN server.
