I used to use Nord but I was turned off by their misleading advertising and predatory subscriptions and pricing approaches.
You pay more per month than what their misleading advertised prices suggest and they will try to auto-renew your subscription at several times your current price if you’re not paying attention.

I always let them expire no matter who the provider is, they usually offer a big discount after. This works with ISPs, phone service providers, etc.
Careful though. The Nord subscription will auto-renew (at a higher price) unless you specifically tell it not to in a somewhat hidden menu. And check it again before it expires because it is known to magically set itself back to auto-renewal close to renewal.

Wow, that’s super shady. Puts them more firmly on my ‘nope’ pile
Can confirm, this happened to me a few years ago. Thankfully I realized it minutes after it renewed itself and managed to get a refund, but the customer service was adamant that I did not turn off auto-renew. I did. I specifically double-checked a week before my plan was supposed to expire–I always have subscription expiration dates on my calendar bc of shit like this. Deleted my account as soon as I got my money back. Fuck NordVPN.

You are correct! Good luck to them renewing off gift card with no money on it though.
I think that tolerating evil is still a problem, though, and I don’t think I’m equipped to explain why we have to care about defending those weaker than ourselves, from the people in power that would delete them.

Oh okay, I thought it was another thing.
Yeah this is old news
I’m glad I went with IPVanish over Mullvad. Very similar in features and price.
I’ve been using Nord after moving from PIA. Seems OK, though their Linux client isn’t amazing.

It will end up being the nazi-VPN because only nazis will knowingly use it due to the CEO's political affiliations.
You can see all the nazis swarming around it in the comments, which is ironic because they’re the ones who don’t want privacy for anyone the most.
Lol idc if ceo is nazi if service is the same.
Me german has nothing to do.
wat? are you having a stroke?
No, he’s hoping Nazism is alive and well in Germany and he’s complying in advance.
Bootlickers everywhere.
Ah, the reasoning of a person after a stroke 👌 Tracks with bootlickers.
Digga ich bin Deutsch und wir hassen die AFD, was laberst du für eine Scheisse?
I never say any of that.
But why is me ignore political opinion of ceo bootlicker behaviour?
Okay, I’m sorry I assumed you were American.

Why use fancy word if simple word do trick?
Edit: also english not native.
That really sucks. I love Mullvad. So challenging to find ethical tech.
