I just finished my one year subscription with Surfshark and I won’t be returning, considering NordVPN. Heard it’s better quality? Are there any cons I should be aware of? I mostly use VPN for P2P. I don’t do any streaming sites.
I’m Canadian myself and I’ve been using Nord for years, working great for me.
I had 2 year subscription with Nord and at the end thought I’d try surfshark for the 30 day money back guarantee, I lasted about 3 days of issues: every single web search became an endless loop of captcha verifications, at times it would continually connect and disconnect in a cycle of 10+ connections.
Went back to Nord and have no complaints.
Nord is good. The only issue I have is that recently auto connect picks the furthest server instead of the closest. I just click on the region I want and it’s good to go. It’s more an annoyance than anything. It runs all the time and I use it for torrents, gaming, everything without issue.
I’ve been using Nord VPN for around 2 years now. It works really well and does what I want. I like all the features it provides. However every now and then it has like a driver slip up or something and Nord Lynx falls off from control panel and then applications don’t see that as that as a network device anymore so that breaks. But I’ve found some easy commands to run to fix it so just kind of an inconvenience. But over all I’ve been very happy with it, and it can pump data.
I’ve had both in the past. Nord is 100% better than Surfshark. I remember Nord typically being very reliable with great speed through their NordLynx protocol. My only complaint about them was their apps seemed buggy sometimes, and they don’t openly support a large amount of streaming services.
I really like them, being a user for a while.
My only recommendation, based on complaints I see here, is to be mindful about your plan expiration date and either renew in advance with a promotion or pay with something like PayPal where you can block the auto renewal, otherwise you will be charged full price a month or so before it expires when there are always massive discounts to be used.
Have you tried anything else compared to Nord like Torguard maybe?
yes i had a similar experience always needing to do captcha and those stupid squares with the fire hydrant or crosswalk. Can’t stand those.
good to know with surfshark had to turn it off when not torrenting because it would reduce the speed of web browsing
Have you tried Torguard, Hideme or PIA as compared to Nord?
How does nord compare to torguard ot hideme?
thanks have you compared torguard with nordvpn, also considering that
