![]() ![]() I wanted to see for myself if NordVPN was too good to be true. You’ve probably seen or heard it advertised on your favorite website, podcast, or Youtube channel. It’s widely regarded as one of the best VPNs by many sites. No VPN should take chances with your cybersecurity, and you shouldn’t settle for a sub-par experience.Īnd yet NordVPN scores highly on many review websites. App stores are full of cheap and free VPNs making big claims about their speed and privacy, but most of them fail to deliver. It costs money to run a good VPN service, which makes me suspicious about services costing as little as NordVPN. I could go on about the dangers of cutting corners with a VPN, but you get the picture. When I need to VPN, I usually just connect the device itself through the NordVPN app on that device.JUMP STRAIGHT TO: Does NordVPN work with Netflix? I also connect a phone to the Mango/Slate with a USB cable so that I can have tethered 4G/5G as a backup internet connection when the hotel WiFi is down/weak/expensive. ![]() Very handy if you're hotel hopping, or only allowed to connect one device to the WiFi. Usually, I just use it as a quick way to redistribute hotel WiFi to all of my devices. I've only occasionally used my Mango or Slate as the gateway to Nord VPN. I highly recommend using an e-sim service like Airalo too, if your phone supports it and you're travelling through multiple countries. I was able to receive SMS authentication codes for all of my Aussie banking, insurance, and other services even though I was actually in other countries. This isn't supposed to work for SMS (just phone calls), but it worked fine for SMS for me. Then you can make and receive phone calls to Australia, no worries, and as far as your telco and anyone calling you is concerned it looks like you're on your phone in Australia. If you use Wi-Fi calling on your phone, then you have to be connected to a WiFi network (to trick your phone) and VPN to Oz (to trick your mobile telco). It also comes in handy when troubleshooting connectivity issues too. It definitely came in handy when overseas (Disney+, and I think Amazon Prime, wouldn't work unless I VPN'd to Oz, same for ABC iView IIRC). ![]() I bought 2-3 years in one go, and use it regularly. ![]()
