Our NordVPN review
We've been running NordVPN continuously for 8 months — on a 1 Gbps fibre line in France and roaming across 4 countries. Here's what works, what's annoying, and who should pick it.
Verdict in one line
NordVPN remains our #1 pick for most use cases: rock-solid streaming, zero DNS/WebRTC leaks over 8 months, decent speed on WireGuard. Downside: mobile UI still needs work.
What won us over
- Zero DNS, IPv6 or WebRTC leak detected in 8 months of monitoring
- Stable Netflix US, BBC iPlayer, Disney+ unblocking (95% / 88% / 92%)
- Real speed loss: 8 % on WireGuard over 1 Gbps fibre
- Threat Protection (DNS-level anti-malware) included at no extra cost
- Independent PwC 2023 audit of the no-logs policy
What could be better
- Android app: UX still trails ExpressVPN
- No exportable WireGuard config (NordLynx is closed)
- High month-to-month price (~12 €/month without commitment)
How we tested
