how's it going everybody welcome back and today we're going to be getting into the pros and cons
of nordvpn and whether or not it could be the right service for you now before we begin if
you guys are interested in nordvpn you'll find a full review as well as links to pricing and
discounts in the description down below now one of my favorite things about nordvpn is
the performance itself and this is all thanks to the nord links protocol which will minimize your
drops in speed as you may know using a vpn will drop your speed typically speaking it will drop
by 20 30 percent but with nord links you'll notice that your speed drops will often be between 10
and 20 percent and often times it will even be below 10 if you're connecting to nearby servers
if you're looking for the speed results the speed test results you'll find them in the review below
but you can take my word for it the performance of nordvpn is top-notch and this is of course
going to be even better with nordvpn's new 10 gigabyte servers are going to raise the bar for
speed as you can as it says as this article says here and i believe this upgrade is coming in 2022
of course not all the servers are going to be 10 gigabyte per second uh servers but a good portion
of these servers will slowly be upgraded to 10 gigabytes per second servers until all the servers
are up to that speed another huge advantage for nordvpn is that first of all the servers run on
ram disks rather than hard drives and that means with ram disks there are no physical hard drives
that can store information on these servers so if one of these servers were to be seized there won't
be any kind of information and with ram server since there are no hard drives uh it'll actually
be very difficult to store anything and whatever little information is stored on the ram disk
drives on these servers will be deleted with every machine reboot which happens quite often as they
maintain the servers and of course the nord vpn application itself has been audited multiple times
and it has been proven that the no locks policy indeed is a no locks policy with evidence rather
than just claiming uh that the nord vpn no lock policy is a no log policy we actually have proof
with cure53 and pricewaterhousecoopers uh very popular independent auditing companies auditing
the nordvpn uh application and making sure that it is indeed upholding the no logs policy as promised
and if you'd like to read these reports for yourself you'll find multiple reports for the
multiple independent audits that took place over the years another huge advantage for nordvpn is
the fact that it is packed with features so we're talking first of all starting with the ad blocker
and you do have these specialty servers now let's go ahead and just disconnect because if you switch
to open vpn you will notice we'll be getting extra specialty servers uh so yeah you've got dedicated
ip double vpn peer-to-peer and onion over vpn dedicated ip will give you the same ip every time
we return to one of these servers so let's say you pick united states and you go to this 4971
you will always be getting the same ip address if that's something you're interested in if you go to
these servers rather than the regular servers the non-dedicated ip servers where the ip addresses
will keep switching every time you return to one of the servers even if you return to the same
server a double vpn will route your connection through two servers rather than one for double
the security onion overvpn will give you access to the dark web without having to use the tor browser
and peer to peer will support peer-to-peer activities if you would like to torrent or
engage in any other peer-to-peer based activities now i would recommend just sticking with the north
links protocol it is definitely the fastest you will lose access to a couple of specialty servers
like tor or onion or vpn as well as dedicated ip uh but if you're fine with that and you don't use
these uh specialty servers then i would definitely just recommend that you stick to nord links and of
course you'll also be getting an internet kill switch a conventional kill switch as well as an
app kill switch you'll be getting split tunneling and you will be getting custom dns which is an
easy way to change your dns as well as obfuscated servers if you're in a censorship heavy country
and to just explain these very quickly an internet kill switch will disable your internet and cut the
connection if the vpn disconnects unexpectedly this will make sure you won't uh get any of the
information leaked and you'll only be connected to the internet while you're secured by the vpn
split tunneling will allow you to choose which applications are routed through the vpn and which
are not so this can be a very useful feature for a lot of you guys and with regards to features
that will be it obviously you have over 5200 servers in 60 countries uh which is massive and
it will also help you uh with streaming another advantage of nordvpn is of course streaming you'll
be able to unblock up to 10 netflix libraries and this is obviously one of the biggest reasons that
nordvpn is actually popular it's because of its streaming capabilities it is able to unblock
so many streaming services and by the way if it doesn't work
all you have to do let's say you're trying to unblock the us netflix all you have to do
is just try out a bunch of other servers so if you go down to the united states all you need
to do is just try out some other locations let's say the new york location doesn't work you can
try out other new york servers or you can just switch locations and try other uh states perhaps
or you can just go to the 24 7 live chat support and ask them for the best servers to unblock us
netflix unfortunately because netflix is constantly cracking down on vpn servers
sometimes some of these servers no longer work for netflix and you have to use some other server
that is also optimized for unblocking streaming services nordvpn works perfectly fine with bbc
iplayer amazon prime about 10 netflix libraries as i mentioned earlier hulu disney plus and whatnot
so yeah most streaming services will work at least most of the uh highly demanded streaming services
will work perfectly fine with nordvpn now i talked about the pros one of the cons is unfortunately
you will only get a seven day free trial on android so if you're looking to try out nordvpn
you won't be able to try it out completely for free unless you have an android device
so yeah mac users unfortunately will still get the short end of the stick because on mac you won't be
getting split tunneling so that's another con is that you'll be missing some features if you're
on mac unfortunately but if you don't need split tunneling then well you get to go anyways if you
don't use such a uh such a feature though fret not you can try out the service for free technically
for free if you go get the refund before the 30th day you can just contact the live chat support and
you'll be able to ask for your refund since there is a 30-day money-back guarantee with all of the
plans so no matter which plan you get you'll be able to claim yourself a refund granted you ask
for it before the 30th day so that is just great and if you're looking for a discount again you'll
find a link in the description down below if you'd like to claim the discount which will give you an
extra month which is always nice especially after the two years are done if you grab the two-year
plan you'll notice that that extra month is going to kick in just when you need it so if you guys
are interested in nordvpn you'll find that link in the description down below which will give you
an extra month and if you'd like to learn more about nordvpn you'll find a full review in the
