Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I’ve been using Nord for years, but my service drops every single day. I can't listen to YouTube or music without interruptions. After my subscription is done, I will be looking for a different provider.

Bought a multi-year subscription because of auto-connect, which is great, but I don’t use it on my home network. Occasionally, I want to use the VPN from home, but it won’t let me connect because I’m on a trusted network. A 'pause trust' option is still missing!

Auto-connect to the VPN periodically fails, causing inability to access the internet. I have to manually connect to a server, which causes issues with streaming services. NordVPN provides no notification that a connection issue is occurring.
