This browser extension used to work decently enough (although, it has severely slow speeds and page timeouts compared to using full system VPN connection), but then it started to randomly log out without notification, leaving my IP and traffic exposed and unencrypted. Also, in order to log in, it now requires hCaptcha verification (which seems to be an excessive and burdensome extra security step, in my opinion). The problem is that this conflicts with other extensions that mask browser's fingerprint and strict browser cookie settings. Upon completing "finding the penguin", the process just loops back to the beginning... leaving me unable to complete the log-in... thus, making this browser extension completely USELESS to me. It should also be noted that I rarely have issues with hCaptcha on other websites. Further, hCaptcha's accessibility options (for those like me who have a hard time with the visual tests) are also invasive as they require an email address be logged in order for them to place a tracking cookie in the browser (which not only is counter-intuitive to browsing privacy, but also wouldn't work for me as I set to block and clear cookies on exit). Other bot testers offer an easy audio option without the need to log an email address for one-time access. I am a fan of the NordVPN company and will continue to use and trust it's services on all my devices. But I am not a fan of this product and the increasing over-burdensome login policies to protect accounts (maybe switch to having 2 separate connection and account passwords to make connecting devices easier and avoid the need for hCaptcha while still protecting access to account info/payment methods, etc?) Similarly, I'm not a fan of the random log-outs and exposed traffic on the iOS NordVPN app as well, (especially since the VPN connection status icon is hidden on Apple devices by the notch but the Nord iOS app provides no notification of disconnect)... This is a separate, but similar product design flaw.

Regardless of what the 1 star reviews has to say this subscription is a good one. it lives up to the things the company provides.

The easiest way to use the Nord VPN access and grow the VPN servers.
