This company charges next month automatically even I selected monthly plan (May 2023) and cancelled it at the beginning of the second month (June 2023). Be careful about their hidden subscription.
Satisfied with the customer care service Response issue was resolved.
It doesn't connect to a vpn server after payment. I was told I couldn't get a refund and I spent an hour troubleshooting. This is a very well-maintained scam and I would not buy it ever again.
Hi Cecilia, sorry to hear you have run into issues with our service. Our refund policy is valid for first 30-days, after this period, unfortunately, we are unable to issue refunds. However, our support team will attempt to troubleshoot any issues you might have with our service to the best of their ability. With that being said, we suggest continuing communication with our techs, as surely any connectivity issues can be resolved with a few setting tweaks. Thank you.
Purchased one mo. For Cuba trip. Product did not work. Renewed automatically and refused refund. Bad
Hello Mark, from your review it seems that auto-renew function was not disabled and thus your subscription plan automatically renewed for addition month. Regardless, it would be great if you could update your review with ticket ID you've received after contacting our support so we could escalate your request regarding the refund. Thank you.
I had cause to contact Nord technical support regarding an issue i had with Nord VPN, the reply was really fast and very helpful and my issue is now fixed, they are very good at listening and super fast with their replies, my experience so far with Nord is all good.
I select Japan as my port. However, it shift to Hong Kong automatically. I need to check the connected area always. I stay at HK, if connected to HK. I have not necessarily to buy the VPN service. Would you like to improve
Hello Amy, if you use quick connect function it's possible that it's picking the most optimal server for your location, which can be in HK. Nevertheless, we suggest reaching out to our support to troubleshoot your connection further. You can reach them 24/7 at support.nordvpn.com
I switched from surfshark about 2 months ago because of constant connectivity issues with their browser extension. Nordvpn has fewer vpn locations but they all connect quickly and work well using the app or browser extension. Some locations were slow and hard to connect to during peak hours with surfshark. I got 120-130mb download speed on a fast server with surfshark, I'm getting 180-200mb with Nordvpn using any vpn location, with the same pc and internet service.
I've had no real issues, just some configuration stuff, the tech support staff are very helpful and they actually follow up for as long as it takes to resolve the issue.
I took advantage of a promotion so Nordvpn only cost me slightly more than Surfshark but it has been faster, quicker to connect, and far more stable than Surfshark was.
I can't speak to the mobile experience, I don't use any mobile devices on the internet, but I am using it on 3 windows pc's and it works equally well on all 3.
All things considered, I'm happy I switched.
Update to Developer iOS17 wiped out my NordPass Authenticator Data. Contact with NordPass Customer Care resolved the issue within minutes! Great customer response experience that other companies could learn from. Thank you NordPass Support Team!
Having upgraded my mobile I was expecting to transfer my NordVPN account, however, I had an issue with the MFA. I contacted the Nord support team by email and immediately received a response setting out what evidence I needed to provide for them to reset my MFA. On providing this I was able to access and setup my VPN on my new mobile. All sorted within 36 hours. Many thanks.
Customer since 3 years and just start a new 3 years subscription.
Useful for Chrome and my iphone even on highly secured entreprise wifi...
The Nordvpn team has been great to me so far. I've only had one issue and they straightened it out for me really fast, and every question I've ask them they helped me out and responded back really fast. Great VPN company to be with
Perfect, immediate response to all my emails. Issue resolved very quickly. On a Sunday.
I had an issue with Nord VPN and sent an email to support explaining my issue. I was expecting the usual business day or two waiting for response. Not the case with Nord, they responded within an hour asking me for additional information and with my reply my issue was resolved within an hour and half.
5 star support and program
Have had some issues with sending emails and support was very patient and supportive as I finally was able to get email settings set. Now problems seem to be resolved and hope stays OK. Nice to know if problems arise I have competent support people ready to help out.
The first time I asked for support, I was stunned in a very positive way by the quality of NordVPN's customer support.
Thank you Lucia Garcia and thank you team for solving my issue in such a short time.
Everything went smoothly and fast. The information provided was very helpful for my subscription issue. Thanks.
I was previously a customer with the main competitor, after my subscription ran out I thought I would try Nord. Initially I had some problems connecting via 5G, I contacted support by email and received a response within 15 minutes. Once contact was made all further messages were responded to immediately. They helped me troubleshoot and fixed the issue quickly.
Since then I have had a fast and stable connection. With the previous company I always had to disconnect when using Netflix as the quality of the stream was poor, not so with Nord. I also haven't had any websites or services deny my connection.
I am impressed with Nord, the customer service is great, the stability and speed of the connection are excellent and of course the price is extremely competitive.
Having tried the two main VPN providers, Nord is the clear winner for me and I would recommend anyone to give them a try.
I encountered a problem obtaining the service credentials to manually configure the meshnet service.
At the moment I'm using/evaluating the service at free level.
I used also the "real time" chat, and it's really awesome.
I spoken with "Keanu" and "Phoenix" and both these boys are really patient and available, more in deep their questions are pertinent...
Unfortunately the problem involve some central settings (related to the rendering of pages), so at the end the support take over the problem, but from the enduser perspective they're competent and despite the fact that the problem was not addressable by a simple knowledge-base page, their analysis was good.
