Excellent for Privacy Professionals

Been using NordVPN for 3 years professionally. Speed is consistently good, rarely drops. The specialty servers (P2P, Double VPN, Onion) work as advertised. Kill switch has saved me multiple times. Customer support knows their stuff - not just script readers.

👍 Pros

  • Reliable kill switch
  • Fast speeds (usually 80% of base)
  • Works in restrictive countries
  • Audited no-logs policy
  • Good mobile apps

👎 Cons

  • Linux client needs work
  • Occasional server overcrowding
  • Marketing can be misleading
  • Price increases after promotion

Perfect LastPass Alternative

Switched after the LastPass breaches. Migration was seamless. Free tier is incredibly generous - unlimited passwords, sync across devices. Open source gives me confidence. Premium features like TOTP and encrypted file storage are worth the $10/year.

👍 Pros

  • Generous free tier
  • Open source and audited
  • Great browser extensions
  • Excellent mobile apps
  • Self-hosting option

👎 Cons

  • UI could be more polished
  • Autofill sometimes misses
  • No encrypted messaging

Gold Standard for Secure Messaging

Essential for sensitive communication. Encryption is bulletproof, used by whistleblowers and dissidents worldwide. Disappearing messages work reliably. However, needs phone number for signup which isn't ideal for complete anonymity.

👍 Pros

  • Military-grade encryption
  • Open source
  • Disappearing messages
  • Screen lock protection
  • Voice/video calls

👎 Cons

  • Requires phone number
  • Limited customization
  • No anonymous signup
  • Battery drain on iOS

Overpriced but Reliable

Works well but expensive compared to competitors. Speed claims are exaggerated - I get about 60% of base speed. Good for streaming Netflix. Customer support is excellent. The price just doesn't justify the features compared to NordVPN or Surfshark.

👍 Pros

  • Excellent customer support
  • Works with streaming services
  • Simple, clean interface
  • Good server coverage

👎 Cons

  • Very expensive
  • Speed claims misleading
  • Limited advanced features
  • 3 device limit too low
