Downloaded this a few days ago. I do like that it has encryption, and that many servers are in the US.
Found it was slowing things down, then went in and changed servers to least loaded. Speed increased.
Enables me to work around paywalls, sites that limit articles
I am on a WiFi, 2.5G network, so for banking this IMHO increases my security. Or am I just plain dumb?

So any opinions on Nord? If you use another why?
Thank you
 
I travel often; hotel wifi, airports; all public wifi, so,not really safe places. I'm using PIA as a VPN. I chose PIA because of their ratings; paid for the yearly subscription to keep the price down.

On occasion I do have issues with things slowing down, but it's tolerable. I appreciate the fact that when I'm online at a clients site, I can surf anon.

Thanks for that. I have found it to be quite versatile on changing servers, and has encryption,
Easy user management

Can you change servers easily, as with Nord it takes a few seconds to change, then wait for the connection. Lists servers that are not busy as well.

It's straight forward; plenty of servers to choose from. It takes a few seconds with PIA too.
 
I have tried numerous VPNs and Nord is my personal favorite.
 
I use IP Vanish and I'm pretty happy with it. Works across all my devices. Yes, it slows down my speed but changing servers makes a big difference.
