KEEPS SECURING.

Incentive? Not going to happen. I am as fair as I can be. I scored a three . When I renewed my subscription, the next day the app kept securing my computer. I got hold of NordVPN and they told me to do things on my end to fix it. I tried. It didn't work. You got a three because, right away, you put it on me to fix it. I haven't done anything. It renews automatically to me. It was definitely on your end when you hit the button to renew the subscription. I ended up turning the visuals off so I didn't have to look at it. I assume it's still doing the same thing. You took your time getting back to me because it's now a distant memory for an old man. And now you want the date of the experience. It was the date it renewed. I Don't KNOW the exact date, but you do. Something else you are putting on me. Take your blame and fix it, Please. Thank You. New Chat: I see you are still putting it on me. You have emailed me FIVE TIMES in a few hours, and you want a ticket ID or an ID ticket. I opened my NordVPN app and contacted you through it. I don't know anything about a ticket ID. The attitude is pretty amazing toward a Client. Did you get the date of renewal. That's the date of the experience. DO NOT send me five emails. That is rude. ONE will do. Thank you. PS I will look in the app for an ID Ticket although I imagine you can pull that right up too. I clicked on Profile and then clicked Help.

Hey there Ian, we hear your frustration, but we don't see any inquiries describing this issue under the email address associated with your profile.

If you have already contacted our team, could you please provide the ticket ID from that conversation? That will allow us to pull up the exact chat and see what was previously attempted.

Regarding the troubleshooting process, we understand that changing the VPN settings isn't always intuitive, especially if you aren't familiar with the app. For your security, NordVPN doesn't have remote control over your devices. We can't log in and change things for you, which is why our support team has to walk you through doing it on your device instead.

If you'd like us to take another look, please share that ticket ID so we can get this looked into for you! - A.M.

very expensive after trial

This VPN is stable and was very helpful for streaming. I remember only a few interruptions during the trial year. It also used to switch your selected server back to the default, but I found a way to keep it selected later. However, I believe it is overpriced after the trial period. Personally, I think it is my last year using this VPN.

It Just Works...

It Just works... and it works well and seamlessly. I've used it on both my MacBooks, my wife's iMac, and both our iPhones--for both business and personal purposes--for the past two years. When I travel I feel absolutely no concern about using any of my devices to access the public internet. Now, I can't understand why I waited so long to try it. Also, I NEVER write reviews or do online ratings since I don't trust them; I suspect many of them are either written by AI or some human shill. I assure you, I am neither of those.

Reply from NordVPN

Hello. We’re sorry about the inconvenience. You shouldn’t need to disconnect from NordVPN every time you open a link from an email. That sounds really frustrating.

This may be related to one of our antivirus features blocking certain links or trackers. Please contact our support team so we can identify what’s causing this and help adjust the relevant settings while keeping your VPN connected. You may reach our team anytime at support.nordvpn.com. -G.M.

Blocks Too Many Websites

App is good at blocking potential problems...too good. About 30-40% of the websites I visit are blocked by Nord. Worse is that I can't just add the website to a good list. I have to send the info to Nord then wait. Very frustrating.

Reply from NordVPN

Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you find the protection useful, but we understand how frustrating it can be when legitimate websites are blocked.

Our security features are designed to protect against potentially harmful sites, but false positives can occasionally occur. We also understand that having an easier way to allow trusted websites would make the experience much more convenient, and we’ll pass this feedback along to our team.

That being said, could you try temporarily disabling the Scam Protection feature in our app settings and reloading the affected website to check whether this feature is causing the block? If the issue persists, please contact our support team so they can investigate and help resolve the issue. They are available 24/7 at support.nordvpn.com. -G.M.

The responses I have received to a couple of issues I needed help with have been prompt, very prompt. Even more importantly, the staff/agents know what they are talking about and provide detailed easy to follow remedies.

To be honest

To be honest, NORD VPN is the best VPN on the market, IMO. I'm not being paid to say this. It's just my opinion. I tried other VPN services, and none of them were this good. That's it.
