    …which is why today’s sponsor is NordVPN!

    (don’t actually use NV there are much better options, this was for comedic effect)

        Overall the marketing is dishonest/over promises and there’s some previous lack of transparency with data breaches along with being closed source. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NordVPN#Criticism

        There’s just better options: https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/

          That sheet seems to hold Nord in pretty good regard,

        How have you not yet realised to be very doubtful and suspicious of anything that’s heavily advertised on YouTube etc? Which Nord is like top 5 of along with Raid Shadow Legends, Raycon earbuds, BetterHelp and Manscaped. All, including Nord, having been widely known for years to be scams and/or just shitty products and companies. Do you really think they’d do those sponsorship deals if they were actually good and naturally got customers via word of mouth? All of this is so damn obvious.

        It’s not too bad. The client is the usual bulky Electron trash though.

        aside from the fact it just doesn’t work on windows 10 anymore for me?

        idk it also seems to not work for torrenting, one of my ISPs blocks torrent traffic when using it now

        Nothing really, I’ve been using them for years and have had no issues.

        If you’re just pirating movies it’s fine, as long as you’re not selling state secrets or anything like that you’re fine with nord.
