In the past, I have used other VPNs while in Europe to access programs in the USA that were otherwise inaccessable. I assumed Nordvpn would be the same. It was for some websites, but when I tried to access my Amazon Prime account, Amazon denied me service, saying " we see you are using a VPN". Then they restricted me to a few useless programs "for those who are abroad". Beware.

Every time I try login to my bank it is block. Need to disconnect to get access

I bought this so I could watch my subscription to MLB without blackouts. I was told by the girl from Nord that this would work. It did not. When I called back days later I was told by another Nord employee that it would never work for that use because of the Smart DNS. It was a waste of money.

Worked fine except for NORD didn't play nice with Authy my authenticator app. I purchased a new PC& a few days ago now I'm totally locked out of NORD even after changing PW etc. along with at least 10 emails to support. This purchase was good for 6 PC's and since I just purchased a PC this is only #2 of the 6. L@@k at the cover for yourself. My biggest problem was it didn't work with Authy even though it was listed as compatible.

Before purchasing this product, research its compatibility to the security software that you are currently using.

So I've had to use company VPN's before and when you do everything becomes a little cluggey..... Websites render very slowly, some won't work at all and in general it seems like something is wrong with your computer. Well, guess what????? Same thing with this VPN. Its highly rated and all that but it does have an impact on speed and productivity.I bought this so I could select the USA when traveling abroad and still listen to my Pandora stations and perhaps watch my Netflix etc. I will be giving this a go late August early September 2023 and will update this review with the findings.Overall, I leave it turned off while at home (albeit still slows things down) so I can surf normally.
