11/25 Edit: I have been a Nord fan for ages. However, I now have and alternate VPN included (aka free) as part of my 'big yellow'--starts with N-- data protection package, so am always readings comparative reviews. Nord still dominates there but its information protection credibility is no longer as stellar as the best in class, some deterioration since I first wrote this review. I'm still paying for Nord VPN. They have improved and simplified the interface greatly, making it easy to use across all devices. However, I no longer have that fawning over them. I also bought in to their package--since they insist on selling on the bundle, I must talk about it--and replaced 1Password with NordPass. NP still has some work to do. I had to wipe out EIGHT(!) Amazon passkeys--I only needed two really: 'Amazon.ca' and '*.com.' No VPN vs. VPN access made NordPass go crazy, until I lost track of which passkey was for what.
