how's it going everybody welcome back today we're going to be talking about and comparing both
nordvpn and malvod and hopefully you'll be able to uh kind of figure out which one could be the
best choice for your situation so before we get if you guys are interested in either of these vpns
you'll find links to special deals and discounts in the description down below as well as full
reviews if you'd like to learn more about these vpns okay so starting with the privacy policy uh
both contestants honestly demonstrate that they're serious when it comes to users and their privacy
at first sight it may seem that nordvpn has the edge as they do have their no locks policy
audited and they have at least two audits but then when you look into the privacy policy of mulvod
they actually take it pretty seriously you don't even need to provide your email
username or anything when you're registering for a malvod all you need to do is just pay with uh
you have plenty of ways obviously to pay more than nordvpn and to top it off they list all the audits
that they had be it a server infrastructure audit or a privacy policy audit it's all listed here uh
so yeah they do take privacy and anonymity very seriously now with regards to speed this is my
speed nothing impressive really we're just going to be focusing on the download speed and we're
going to be comparing that uh and see how much it will decrease i can't really afford any more
decrease than that it's already pretty slow with nordvpn uh it dropped about 70 000 0.7 megabits
per second uh so at 5.2 megabits per second with malvod it uh went down by about one an entire
megabit per second and then with uh and this is by the way the new york server testing both vpns
using their best performing protocols which is the wire guard protocol in in nord vpns called north
links and it's just wire guard and mulvard and then testing the italian server 5.8 with nordvpn
and 4.81 with moldbot so molvod is fast it's just not the fastest even though i was using the
wireguard protocol nordvpn is still noticeably faster than moldbot and you know when it comes
to streaming i was surprised that moldbot was actually able to unblock the uh american library
however it's not exactly the most consistent experience it was not able to unblock hbo max
it wasn't able to unblock hulu uh and it was able to unblock disney plus and i wasn't able to block
bbc iplayer either and nordvpn is actually able to unblock all of these except for the us netflix
which i was surprised by malvad how it's able to unblock it so uh yeah overall honestly i wouldn't
really uh recommend for streaming it's mainly kind of focused on security and speaking about security
uh this is where malvod really shines now if you take a look at the uh let's see here so if we go
to settings and preferences first of all you've got your uh ad blocker your tracker a blocker and
uh you know just some uh preference options here uh that you can customize nothing security related
but if you go to advanced now this is where it gets very interesting so you can enable ipv6 there
is a kill switch called always require vpn so this is the kill switch this is what it's called here
you do have split tunneling though it's half a split tunneling feature so you can't really have
one application use the vpn while the rest is just left intact or untouched by the vpn tunnel
everything will be connected to the vpn except for the applications that you decide to exclude
so this is how it works here unlike nordvpn where they give you the option to uh either disable
vpn or enable vpn for selected apps which makes it a little bit easier to use though
with the tunneling here so with protocols you'll notice that uh malvod definitely
surpasses uh nordvpn so with nordvpn this is about as much as you're going to get with uh
kind of customizing your protocols you're just going to pick either open vpn or nord links
definitely nord links is the better option and you can have some auto connect options here but
with a malvod so if you pick wireguard you can go to wireguard settings and you can actually
switch ports you can select your ports here uh two ports with wire guard you can even select either
automatic ipv4 or v6 and if you go to wire guard key right here this will help you if
you're trying to port forward of course mulva does allow for port forwarding unlike nordvpn
and you won't really need port forwarding unless you're concerned with seating so for the most part
when it comes to torrenting if you're trying to seed uh your torrents after they're downloaded you
will need a port forwarding a vpn that allows for port forwarding nor vpn will not allow for seating
okay so if we go back right here and select open vpn and go to open vpn settings you'll notice that
there's something called bridge mode of course if you pick one of these either tcp or udp you
are able to pick which port you'd uh well prefer in this case however let me just go back to okay
let me go back here um and if i try to switch location here you'll notice you know we've got
a bunch of servers here and there and i'll talk about the servers in just a second but i just
want to kind of show something if i go to settings advanced go down here open vpn open vpn settings
bridge mode so bridge mode is pretty much double vp oops bridge mode is pretty much
double vpn from nordvpn which will route your connection through two servers rather than one for
extra security i'll have to switch to openvpn for that uh as it is with malvod so double vpn as you
can tell here let's say i pick united states i'll be able to route my connection through two servers
rather than one or two countries but in north vpn you won't be able to choose which vpns you'd like
to write your connection through in malvod if you turn on bridge mode which is pretty
much double vpn and then you want to go to servers switch location you'll actually be
able to pick your entry and exit uh servers which is very interesting i've never seen this in any
and any other vpn honestly so yeah this makes for pretty good uh customization and uh maybe you want
to connect to australia and the united states at the same time for you know confusing your
isp or whoever is trying to track you as much as possible so yeah great stuff overall and uh with
regards to torrenting by the way both vpns do support torrenting it's just that molvod will
allow for port forwarding and nordvpn will not so that's uh that's about it for uh security options
for a molvod and as you can tell i'm going through the application here and it's just
super responsive it never bugs out it's just so well coded and i never have to worry about it like
kind of lagging or whatever um in terms of clunkiness i would definitely say uh i i think
nordvpn can use a little bit of polish though the ui here might be a little bit nicer to look at i
do like the clean finish of uh malvod right here even though i can't really go through the map i'm
kind of fine with this right here because it's just so quick and very responsive and i really do
appreciate it okay so going through the security features of nordvpn here on the other hand you've
got specialty servers dedicated ip double vpn onion over vpn peer-to-peer and if we go to the
settings here an ad blocker of course the nord vpn the nord links excuse me uh protocol an internet
kill switch just as we have with uh not mult but we do have an app kill switch which will close
selected apps when you disconnect from the vpn or the connection drops so not just the conventional
kill switch but also the app kill switch if perhaps you don't want your internet connection
to drop for any reason split tunneling but instead it's a full well a fully fledged split tunneling
feature rather than just be getting the ability to exclude applications as it is with malvod in
advanced you will see custom dns an easy way to change your dns which you won't find in mobile and
obfuscated servers if you're in a censorship heavy country and speaking of censorship-heavy countries
while malvad can work in china it's not exactly the most consistent vpn when it comes to china as
it sometimes does fall victim to the throttling by the great firewall of china uh so it's better to
just stick with something like nordvpn that's a little bit more consistent when it comes to
working in censorship-heavy countries since they do offer a version of nordvpn that actually works
in censorship-heavy countries now with regards to the server count you will notice that nordvpn has
a huge edge here so mulvad has over 750 servers in 36 countries while nordvpn has over 5 100 servers
in 60 countries uh so yeah you can tell that nordvpn is definitely going to be the best choice
here if you're specifically looking for streaming as mulvad i would just not recommend mulvad for uh
streaming uh both vpns do have physical servers but the cool thing about mobile is that on their
server list right here you'll be able to tell which one is owned which one is rented
you can just kind of filter through here you know if you're looking for whatever uh servers
that support whichever protocol right here so it is pretty cool to see that obviously own servers
will offer a better security as uh vpn providers will have more control over unlike with rented
servers from third parties and finally when it comes to pricing uh this is the kind of pricing
you'll see you'll be seeing with nordvpn it's pretty budget friendly overall really uh i do
like the way they uh price their two-year plans especially their two-year plan and by the way if
you're looking for the extra month right here you won't be getting this discount unless you click
the link in the description so if you're looking to claim this extra month you'll find that in the
description down below and with malvod uh you'll be seeing a different kind of pricing here which
is very interesting um it's a very unique pricing model i it is it is fair in a way for sure and
it's all the same price whether you go with the one month one year or the well an entire decade
uh so yeah very very interesting so 5.5 dollars per month across all plans and they do have a
30-day money-back guarantee unless you pay with cash of course uh and uh that's it's the same with
nordvpn though do keep in mind that nordvpn does have a live chat support to help you with refunds
whereas with mulvad you'll need to go through the email back and forth kind of thing to get yourself
the refund so it might take a little bit longer to get done so just keep that in mind overall
both vpns are great vpns i'm just here to kind of present you with this information and it's up to
you to kind of find out which could be the best for you depending on your needs and situation
