NordVPN is everywhere these days — from YouTube ads to sports sponsorships. Its massive marketing claims it's the most trusted VPN service worldwide. But does this popularity actually translate into superior performance, or is it just clever advertising?
The team and I spent several weeks thoroughly testing every aspect of NordVPN. We ran extensive speed tests, tried streaming on multiple pla...

The Best of The Best
I simply tested all VPNs looking for cutting-edge online security, I tested the most expensive and the... most talked about virtual anonymity, none made me as happy as NordVPN, it stands out for several reasons that the much more expensive ones it doesn't have, its double encryption, dedicated IPs, onion VPN, makes NordVPN unique, with almost 6,000 servers around the world and 12 million customers like me, you can see that NordVPN is not playing games with its customers and their online security , it always innovates to keep you more secure day after day, for a fair price in the long term and without sacrificing the speed of your connection, recently Nord is developing a new VPN protocol, Nordlynx a version still under construction derived from the Wireguard protocol, if you want to have a VPN of last security that think how it will make you more secure in the next month NordVPN is the right choice, I am completely thankful for being a customer and for finding what to me is the perfect VPN.More

NordVPN has become garbage!
I've had NordVPN for over a decade, and past couple of years, but more so past 6 months it has become ... complete garbage! Contact them, oh try different servers, try different protocols. I have done all and long before they said to! Issue, Connections often just time out though still says connected, can't access any page. Chose different server, works 5 minutes or all day, but eventually it will time out. Best luck I've had was with open UDP but past month even it's been junk! Obfuscated has worked somewhat better, again until recently and crap!
Seems they are more about featuritis and getting more users than having a solid product and keeping past/existing customers.
Spend your money elsewhere and avoid hack sites giving their glowing review they are just paid shills!More

BoxPN is a no-frills, simple VPN service that has been around since 2009. Its price point seems attractive, but I found its lack of functions and low number of servers off-putting.
I tested every aspect of BoxPN, from speed and security to privacy, customer support, and device compatibility. I found that, while BoxPN is safe and easy to use, it's let down by poor performance and a lack of trans...

Seems secure. Average speeds.
They do have a Kill Switch, as of some months ago and it occasionally invokes whilst connected. Been u... sing it for about 5 years. Speeds could be a bit better. Their support usually gets back to me within a day. They don't give you any notice of renewal, so if you want to change provider and cancel before they charge, you'd have to set a reminder.
All in all - OK for occasional use.More

Bad practices means bad karma
Full assessment requires subscription experience. Long-time subscriber. Nothing we do online is privat... e from the IT of the superpowers.
Pros: BoxPN tells you upfront in the TOS that it's not private and neither is your data. Cons: Creates the illusion of being anonymous. Legalese hides the meanings of disclosures in the TOS. They do not disclose USA record keeping. They dismiss Help Tickets. Connections drop frequently. They log your usage.

BoxPN has a practice of tracking and record keeping. Where are the limits? They track payment history. They transmit packets on usage to somebody in Chicago. The best practice is to utilize redundant forms of enforcing anonymity.More
