What Makes NordVPN Stand Out
NordVPN has now passed six separate no‑logs assessments by third‑party auditors, confirming its systems are built not to store browsing activity, IPs, or traffic metadata.
NordVPN has extensive installations guides. They offer step-by-step instructions for any operating system and version. From Windows 10 and Windows 8 to DD-WRT and Raspberry Pi — virtually every platform is covered. There is a special guide for configuring the service to circumvent the Great Firewall in China.
NordVPN also offers some unique features:
- Tor over VPN — this feature routes your VPN traffic through the Tor network.
- Meshnet — this service allows you to create a private encrypted network between your own devices for remote access and gaming.
