| 2024-11-22 |  | | Constantly interrupts my ability to transfer files and work within very safe apps and programs. Blocks quick sharing between Samsung phone and tablet. makes visual voicemail not work, causes problems with app updates, causing them to stall out until I turn it off. if something won't download or update or share it's probably this VPN. I will be looking at its competitor in the future. |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | Noticed that since you required me to uninstall, then reinstall the app as your technique for updating your app. Your app hasn't worked the same. Does your update no longer block ads like the previous version? Now i get pop-ups and ad banners all the time , as before, nord did an excellent job blocking this out. I've already made sure my settings are where they should be, but it doesn't do anything. Is this the new norm for the service going forward? |
| 2024-11-19 |  | | I'm having a very weird issue all of a sudden. I've used Nord for years and all of a sudden when I turn on my VPN, my phone seems to be ignoring my home WiFi connection. The connection strength is shown as excellent, I haven't changed any settings, and my data use is through the roof and Google Fi says it's all from Nord VPN. I used to use a custom DNS with dnsforge.de but I'm not super network savvy. Could this have been causing the issue? I've gone back to default DNS since noticing my data. |
| 2024-11-18 |  | | all I can say is terrible customer service! Almost 72hrs ago I made the mistake of trying to enter the wrong p/w 3 times. It was working good up until this point.Understandably my account got locked. It's a joke trying to get it unlocked. Their technical service seems to want to do things by email instead of a more efficient way. I've had at least ten emails go back & forth with them asking me to load multiple search engines, deleting nord from my devices, reinstalling clearing cache, clearing |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | it's easy to use and the connection is fast and stable. Some apps can tell you're on VPN and won't allow you to complete a purchase. Also, Etsy will detect the country you're connected to, change the currency presented in its app, and then it's quite difficult to get it switched back. |
| 2024-11-05 |  | | It definitely slows your connection down. Also... You want the notifications on so you know what's going on... But they take advantage of that by bombarding you with promotional ads via app notification. Every day I get 2-4 notifications about promotional pricing (I already signed up for a year), dedicated IP, whatever else they want more money for. And you can't opt to turn them off without ignoring the entire app. Pretty shady really, definitely not re-upping or telling anyone to subscribe. |
| 2024-11-02 |  | | VERY slow lately. Used to be a great VPN service. Recently (last 6 months or so), the service has gotten so slow that it's almost unusable. I have a gig up & down on fiber, so there should be no excuses. If I turn Nord VPN off, i get ~ 700MB. When I turn it back on, I'm lucky to get 200MB. I've tested multiple times over the last few months on several routers, modems, computers, phones... always the same. I've called support, and they tell me they're working on it. I've never heard back. FAIL! |
| 2024-10-20 |  | | Been a paying customer for years. In the past month or two, the app has been breaking my internet completely. Only when I pause service and then resume do I start getting internet again, and only for a few minutes. Probably going to look elsewhere for VPN services now that Nord is going downhill. I've reached out to support and they merely give me the run-around with various setting changes. I've tried all combos and they don't work. |
| 2024-10-14 |  | | Generally not bad, but getting much worse. Does not maintain connection in the past few months. I constantly need to change servers to get a connection back. Also doing much worse with major sites like Amazon. Nord servers are being blocked and not recovering. Finally, they just added a notification for needing to log into networks. And each time you clear the notification, it comes right back again. This service is going downhill. |
| 2024-10-04 |  | | Watch your bank statements at the time of renewal! I've been a loyal user for many years now, but their recent deceptive practices need to be investigated. Nord recently charged me $234 dollars for an ANNUAL subscription! This is criminal as this isn't even listed as being an option on their pricing plans. Upon requesting a refund, they said if I would keep my subscription that they would provide me with an additional 18 months of service for 'free'. Folks you have 30 days to catch them. |
