Now, before we conduct tests, do research and all, let\u2019s talk about NordVPN\u2019s journey up till now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About NordVPN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, NordVPN, founded in 2012, was started by two friends, Tom Okman and Eimantas Sabaliauskas, in Lithuania. They had a vision and that was to create a tool that would make the internet safer and more accessible for everyone. Having spent time in various parts of the world, they noticed a common problem, and that was, growing internet censorship and excessive surveillance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This challenge fueled them to develop a tool that could help people browse the internet freely and securely. And that\u2019s how NordVPN was established, to turn this vision into a reality by protecting the users from online threats and ensuring their privacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, NordVPN has grown a lot. What started as a single server, and that too shared among friends, has expanded into a vast network of over 7,600 servers across 118 countries. This growth shows their commitment to providing reliable and secure internet access to users across the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NordVPN is now part of a larger family of cybersecurity tools under Nord Security, which also includes NordPass (a password manager) and NordLocker (encrypted cloud storage). These tools work together to offer full protection to the users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, now let\u2019s first go to the NordVPN\u2019s official site and see how responsive the website is! As per the screenshot provided below, we can see that the look of the website is engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NordVPN User Interface<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, we\u2019re going to discuss the user interface of the NordVPN account. So for this, we bought a premium NordVPN plan and logged into the dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"NordVPN<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NordVPN dashboard is really simple and also navigable at the same time. This means that if you want to download the NordVPN app, you just simply need to click it once and download it easily without any issue. Let\u2019s say you want to upgrade your VPN plan, you can quickly do so by accessing the Available Plans tab provided at the side panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This above screenshot shows that the NordVPN account dashboard is clean, easy to use and navigable. Even a newbie, having no idea about the configuration, can easily install the NordVPN app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As we download the NordVPN app for the Windows OS, we really feel amazing when using it. See the screenshot below. This is how the interface looks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"NordVPN<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you take a look at the left side of the screenshot, you can see a side panel having one-click access to multiple server locations, enable \/ disable Threat Protection Pro, Kill switch, Ad Blocker, AntiVirus and browser protection option. In just an action of a single click, you can configure your VPN server<\/a> in a matter of minutes only.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacOS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Exclusively for our Apple users, working in the MacOS environment, NordVPN offers the interface as given in the screenshot below. After seeing the screenshot, it is 100% confirmed that NordVPN\u2019s user interface is the same in almost all the devices, be it Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, Chrome, FireFox, Edge and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"NordVPN<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you look at the screenshot above, you can see that there\u2019s an entire map of different countries with the location of the servers marked in blue dots. You can even connect to the VPN server of your own choice simply by clicking the location you want to connect to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Home Screen of the NordVPN app is really intuitive. Every action that you see like Quick Connect, enabling Threat Protection Pro, turning on Meshnet, choosing the VPN server of your choice, can be executed in just a single click. No complex configuration, ensuring that even a newbie can perform basic VPN settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Connect<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In order to boost your online safety, NordVPN offers an incredible feature called Threat Protection Pro. It detects and blocks malicious activities like phishing, malware, trackers and ads. Plus, let\u2019s say you downloaded files using VPN! NordVPN also offers you OneClick Anti-Malware feature to check your apps and other downloaded files for security issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"downloaded<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Along with that, you can even turn on the advanced browsing protection and ad blockers to stop web trackers and remove annoying ads. All this is just a single click away! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing is sure that every VPN function, be it connecting the obfuscated servers, enabling Kill switch option, turning on \/ off malware protection, NordVPN has made it easy for the newbies by making the functions available in just OneClick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"NordVPN<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You even get to switch Light \/ Dark mode as per your need. Plus, you can even switch the language of the app as well. So, you see, NordVPN can be well-customised as per the user\u2019s needs and requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chrome Extension<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve also installed NordVPN\u2019s chrome extension to see how different the interface is and how good the VPN settings are. Below, we\u2019ve added a screenshot of the chrome extension! The user interface is cool and easy to perform tasks like Quick Connect, Search for countries, switching VPN protocols and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chrome<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NordVPN offers browser extensions for Edge and Mozilla FireFox also. After an in-depth research, it was found that the interface is somewhat the same in every extension you install. There\u2019s no complex configuration involved in turning on the VPN, it is automatic and it even works in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, NordVPN offers an amazing graphical user interface that allows you to switch between different servers, enabling or disabling important services like Kill Switch, Meshnet, Threat Protection, SplitTunneling, and changing VPN protocols in just one Click. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Single Click action is really the most interesting & the easiest thing to do! Plus, the interface (having dark and light themes) is really engaging to look at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why, after technically analysing the NordVPN\u2019s user interface, we highly recommend it for the newbies (barely knowing anything about VPN settings) and for the pro-users as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NordVPN Speeds <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that we\u2019ve checked the user interface of NordVPN, let\u2019s test the speed of the VPN servers! Speed of the VPN connection is really important in case you\u2019re watching a web series on NetFlix or let\u2019s say you\u2019re downloading a large file in a P2P, your VPN server speed is what matters the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To run the VPN speed test, first off, we\u2019ve tested the original speed of the internet (without connecting to the VPN<\/strong>) to get a basic measure in order to compare the internet speed when connected to the VPN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve used the speedtest tool by Ookla that\u2019s used to check the internet performance. Below, we\u2019ve shared the screenshots of the result, keeping this NordVPN review transparent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We see that when we do not connect to the VPN servers, the original performance of the internet is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
