On the surface, NordVPN looks like a really impressive service. It claims to have a huge global server network, a speedy and reliable connection, and iron-clad security and privacy features. Plus, you can get it all for just $3.09/month. That all sounds great, but is there a catch?
To find out, I did an in-depth analysis of NordVPN. I tested its speeds and how well it performs when you’re str...

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

BUYER BEWARE!
BUYER BEWARE! If you purchase NordVPN, it will throttle your interned speed/connectivity by 50%, like ... it did to mine. I pay $100/month to get speeds of nearly 600mbs. With NordVPN turned on, my speeds decrease to 250mbs.
Nord’s “customer support” is useless and unprofessional, and, after nearly 3 weeks of endless “try this, try that”, they were unable to resolve the issue and blamed it on everything under the sun except their product, when it is OBVIOUS that, since I have zero speed issues with Nord turned off, and ONLY experience the issues with Nord turned on, it is NordVPN that is causing the issue.
When I asked them for a refund of my one year subscription paid in advance and in good faith, they refused, and have now decided to ignore me.
So, YOU’VE BEEN WARNED. Their VPN will devastate your internet speeds, their “support” is ridiculous, they are in denial, and they will not refund your money, even if their product is a failure…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 transpa...

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
