NordVPN provided exceptionally poor support, leaving severe connection failures across Linux, iPhone, and server setups completely unresolved despite receiving submitted log files and password resets. Rather than delivering active technical assistance, support repeatedly delayed the process with administrative hurdles—such as requesting payment… Read more

details and card verification that had to be resubmitted—while cycling through multiple agents (Manuel Roman, Emiliano Cañete, and Marta Sánchez) who offered only generic status updates instead of concrete troubleshooting steps. Even after an explicit request after 21 days for technical answers and escalation to a senior lead, NordVPN failed to provide a clear timeframe or explanation, ultimately attempting to close out the month-long ticket with automated satisfaction surveys while the core service remained non-functional.

BEWARE OF THEIR AUTO-RENEWAL SCAM! They wont refund your payment even if you informed them right after they deduct money from you account. Worst customer service! I did not even used it that much because it does not let me play mobile legends with my friends overseas due to lag issues.

I messaged their IG account for a deal they were offering and they responded fairly quickly, like within 15 minutes. I've been a NordVPN customer since 2023 and have had a good experience overall with them over the years so I was happy to keep their product at their full price. But when I saw that they had a deal offering right at around the… Read more ·  1

time that my annual renewal came up, I wanted to see if they would be willing to honor it for me. They asked for my email and gave me a simple solution: they would refund my subscription and allow me to get the new one at the discounted rate they were offering. This is very good customer service in both speed and quality and it always feels good as a customer when a company is more than willing to work with you and reward loyalty. I can confidently say that they may have earned me as customer for life as well as me recommending them to all my friends and family.

If you are someone that appreciates a quality product and good customer service, NordVPN is the one.

Last year I have purchased a VPN from NordVPN and I installed the application to protect my computer. Then the entire hell broke loose. About 30% of everyday use programs stopped working. My home internet slowed down about 40%. The websites I've been visiting or working with started showing messages saying "The website can not be reached". If… Read more

think that their technical support may help you, you're probably delusional! First you have to go through the exhuasting chat ith a bot, that provides all unnecessary staff you didn't even ask for. You have to have hell of the experience with those stubborn bots trolling you for hours, before you actually force them to transfer you to a live person. And then they sell you the same routine what the internet providers, perform a hard reset of your modem, check the connection nonsense, restart your computer etc., etc., treating you like you're born yesterday. After that they send you bunch of emails, how to mess with operating system and change protocols you normally wouldn't have to and wouldn't want to. Of course even if you change anything and everything the NordVPN application still wouldn't work. So you start all over, the frustrating and desperate attempt of calling them, wasting you precious time and hoping for the best. Aa-aa! No way! Now, if you are lucky enough to get through to live person, they would ask to send some pictures to them, but they ould send an email hat exactly they want. This is endless, never ending story, ping-pong game, you call them, they dismiss you with some cr#p, it doesn't ork, you call them again, like a vicious cycle, until you give up! But now, I am so done with that. The program doesn't even open anymore. Although, the user name and email is correct, I cannot to login, because the password I've been using for past 11 months is being rejected. If you ant to save money go for something Australian or something like [Name Removed] which apparently is the best. I lost $200 after great discount they gave me for signing up for 24 months. Not worth even 20 bucks, rubbish and false advertising.

1 Star: NordVPN Completely Broke My Working Linux Setup I bought NordVPN to add some privacy to my browsing on three MX Linux machines. Instead, it turned a perfectly stable system into a nightmare. I spent days troubleshooting, thinking something was wrong with my Samba file sharing, Pure-FTPd server, or even USB hardware — only to discover… Read more

NordVPN was the problem. Before installing NordVPN everything ran fine: Samba shares between my PCs worked smoothly, Pure-FTPd server accepted connections from LAN clients, and plugging in a USB thumb drive never caused any issues. After installation, none of it worked properly anymore. Samba shares became inaccessible — connections would hang, time out, or give access denied errors even though permissions were correct. Pure-FTPd server stopped accepting LAN connections — clients couldn't reach it, and passive mode just timed out. The worst part was inserting a USB thumb drive: the mouse and keyboard would freeze for seconds or minutes, making the system unusable until I unplugged the drive. I tried everything: resetting permissions, restarting services, clearing caches, reinstalling Samba and FTP tools, checking firewall rules, unloading kernel modules — nothing helped. I even researched MX Linux's unique architecture thinking that was the issue. It was only after a lot of trial and error that I realised NordVPN was interfering with local networking, routing, or kernel events. In the end I had to completely uninstall NordVPN from all three PCs. The uninstall process was messy too — apt purge alone didn't remove everything. I had to manually delete configs, repo files, keys, directories, and even blacklist kernel modules. After rebooting each machine, everything went back to normal: Samba shares work, Pure-FTPd connects, and USB drives mount without freezing input. NordVPN has proven to be a piece of shit on Linux. It upset a perfect running system, wasted hours of my time, and caused far more problems than it solved. Avoid it if you value stability on your local network. 1 star — and I regret every second I spent with it. But I have to give massive praise to the MX Linux development team. Their tools are outstanding. MX Tools (especially MX Package Installer, MX Service Manager, MX Samba Config, and MX Tweak) made it possible to quickly diagnose, fix permissions, restart services, and get my system back in order without hours of terminal hacking that other distros would have required. In my honest opinion, MX Linux is the number 1 distro on the planet — nothing even comes close. The way they package everything with user-friendly tools and still keep it powerful and stable is unmatched. If you're on Linux and value a system that actually works without constant fighting, MX Linux is the one.

without sending me text or email reminder. I requested refund due to two weeks before it was the due date. Nord replied No Refund because you can only cancel 30 days after your initial payment (ie. 1st year payment). I wrote back to tell them payments are taken out on the due date not before and I will be giving them very bad review.

 Follow-up  · Their tone was simply formal, they said that they had emailed me prior to the early auto renewal, I re-checked email, spam, bin etc to find nothing & I let them know nothing was received. They stuck by their policy about not refunding cause mine was not a new service nor within 30 days of new service only. Also my renewal was now paid until 2026… Read more

 Follow-up  · VPN daily. Yes, they shut down my account when I complained about the subscription being taken out without my knowledge. I did not try any other services.

 Follow-up  · same outcome, I didn't have any other evidence to provide. Why was it up to the customer anyway. I would have been on their system and they could have rectified the situation but no they put it on to the customers shoulders. Bad business move.

Maeve was very professional addvised me why NORVPN was going to a 1 year and then suprised me with the additonal months. Maeve was very professional and we did the change very quickly.. Thank you NORDVPN and Maeve.

 Follow-up  · Well, I can't comment on any of your points as they have not responded to any of the issues that know off. I haven't used NordVPN on my laptop as it causes a great deal of delay issues. I have a plan to upgrade some of my hardware to see if that fixes the issues as it works well on my wife's Laptop.

I contacted NordVPN support regarding a connection issue and what I thought was a subscription problem. The support representative responded quickly, investigated the issue thoroughly, and helped me identify the actual cause. It turned out that my subscription had expired, not a technical issue on NordVPN’s side. Professional, courteous, and very efficient support. Thank you for your assistance! Show reply

disconnected the link to Wi Fi it would not even allow me to connect to the limited Internet available in China. I used expensive Mobile Data to connect to Nord and they were no help at all the little they told me to try would need total access to the internet that because of the fact that Nord does not work in China I did not have. It might work in some places but if you are going to China Nord is a total Scam and the only thing worse than the product is the Customer Service.

at least 30 seconds, let alone trying do more interactive work on websites. To get anything done I have to keep pausing the connection for 5 - 15 min's which sort of defeats the purpose of having it.

NordVPN used to be a solid choice for anyone wanting to access geo-blocked content, like watching sports from overseas. However, these days it’s becoming less effective as more services are blocking Nord. On top of that, frequent and ambiguous temp files created by Nord trigger constant firewall alerts, which is a hassle if you’re trying to keep… Read more

your system secure from Malware and Viruses. And let's not forget the extra verification steps every time you log in on a new device. Unfortunately, it feels like NordVPN is more cumbersome than it’s worth now. If you’re looking to watch sports or access content overseas, you might want to look into other VPN providers. Updated 16/4/26, Nord replied below asking me to reach out to support. I have already dont that its a waste of time, they just waste your time instead of using common sense. that said, why am i to reach out to support when your software has the problems i stated above, this is just another example of poor service, a canned message that gets sent to everyone and no change happens.
