Frequently asked

What does NordVPN actually protect for a nomad?
Your traffic over untrusted networks (hotel and café wifi), your apparent location for geo-locked services (banking, streaming), and your IP from sites that profile you. It does not protect against weak passwords or careless phishing.
Why pick NordVPN over the free options?
Free VPNs are too slow for client calls, throttle uploads and often log traffic. A paid VPN with a clean privacy story, fast servers, kill-switch and split-tunnel ends up cheaper in real terms than the time lost on a free one.
Does NordVPN unblock banking apps from abroad?
Yes, by connecting to a server in your bank’s country. Split-tunnel lets you whitelist that one app so it uses the local IP while the rest of your traffic stays on the closest fast server.
How much slower is your connection on NordVPN?
Five to fifteen percent throughput hit on a server near you, more on remote servers. For client calls pick the closest server; for streaming pick the destination country; for banking pick the bank’s country.
Is it worth it on a budget?
On the multi-year plans NordVPN sits around 3 to 5 $ per month. For most nomads that is well below the cost of one careless wifi incident, one banking lockout, or a few hours wasted on a slow free VPN.
