Frequently asked

Which VPN feature has the biggest practical impact?
Kill-switch first. Without it, any tunnel drop silently leaks traffic. After that, split-tunnel for banking apps and a fast protocol (WireGuard-derived implementations) deliver the biggest day-to-day value.
Do I need a dedicated IP?
For banking and admin-heavy work yes — it dramatically reduces the rate at which services flag you as suspicious. For general browsing and streaming, shared IPs are fine and cheaper.
When is multi-hop worth it?
For sensitive research, journalism in unfriendly jurisdictions, or anyone running a high-risk professional brief. For typical nomad remote work it adds latency without meaningful security gain.
Is threat protection (ad/malware filter) worth using?
Yes if it does not break work tools. NordVPN’s blocks tend to be conservative and run at the network level so they do not need a browser extension. Keep an allowlist for your own client domains.
Should remote teams share a VPN?
No. Consumer VPNs are for individual use. Teams that need shared access should use a real business VPN or a zero-trust access tool (Tailscale, Cloudflare Access). Keep client VPNs personal.
