In our review of NordVPN, it was fast and had a reliable and consistent connection. NordVPN's performance was generally consistent across a wide range of test situations. This means that if you're traveling, you're likely to be able to count on the same performance from NordVPN no matter where you're connecting from.

NordVPN also supports P2P sharing and is one of our favorite VPNs for torrenting. It offers a second layer of encryption through its Double VPN feature and has a dedicated IP if you're trying to run a VPN that doubles as a server. As far as compatibility goes, NordVPN supports all of the major platforms and has additional browser plugins for Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.

Overall, NordVPN is a solid choice. It has a 30-day money-back guarantee, which should give you enough time to test out the product and see if it's a good fit for you.

The subscription cost can also be considered expensive outside of sales events. You can select between Complete, Plus, and Standard on a two-year, one-year, and monthly plan, the difference being whether or not you also want access to a password manager, data breach scanner, or encrypted cloud storage service.

Prices start from $4.19 /month on a two-year standard plan to $14.49 /month on a complete, one-month subscription. At the time of writing, NordVPN is running a birthday promotion for new subscribers. If you sign up for the two-year plan, on any tier, will be given a gift of either three months or one year free.
