NordVPN Review

In Australia there are now numerous laws and legislations regarding Internet censorship as well as Internet freedom have led to a high demand of virtual private networks (VPNs).

VPNS are old school but are still considered to be the best tools for online anonymity, privacy and safety. Moreover, a VPN is an excellent solution for hiding your IP address or accessing blocked and geographically restricted content.

NordVPN has many features and you can find a huge network of servers optimized for specific purposes, an automatic kill switch in case of connection interruptions, a double encryption option, a DNS leak resolver and more.

My favorite features include auto-reconnecting (that actually works). This means that when the VPN is disconnected, it will automatically reconnect without requiring user action. This is great for ensuring privacy.

The other huge benefit of NordVPN? It’s strict no-log policy, the company is based in Panama, which has no mandatory data retention laws.

The NordVPN client for Windows is a lightweight application that lets you select servers by country or by connection type. After choosing a suitable server, you can simply tap on the connection button at the top to connect or click on a pin over the country you want to connect to. Overall, it’s a great client for new VPN users who want security and anonymity without complicated settings and configurations, as it’s nice design and user-interface make it easy to use.
