PerformanceRouting your Web traffic through a server adds a detour that can slow down the speed of your network connection, but in some circumstances it can actually improve your ping by connecting you to a fast server close to the gaming server. Nord also offers a kill switch that shuts down your Internet connection if the VPN gets disconnected. NordVPN's Terms of Service state the company does not log your Internet activity to protect your privacy. The NordVPN Windows app does not support the popular OpenVPN protocol, except via a manual connection using an open-source OpenVPN GUI. It supports L2TP, PPTP, SSTP, and IKEv2, but you’ll need to do a little legwork by following a NordVPN tutorial to use these protocols. The NordVPN Windows app supports only two VPN protocols: TCP and UDP. NordVPN has 927 servers in 57 countries at the time of this writing, which is a bit on the low side but certainly adequate. The app also does not provide a way to create a list of your favorites as you can with TigerVPN and VyprVPN. It doesn’t tell you in which city the server is located, which makes it harder to find a server you like upon subsequent VPN sessions. You simply pick a country and then NordVPN finds the best server in that country. For example, you can choose to connect to a server by browsing a map or an alphabetical list, which is simple and straightforward, but unfortunately you can’t drill down to a level where you can browse by city. The NordVPN app is easy to use in part because it simplifies things. What's great is you can choose multiple answers, and for my speed tests I chose Streaming. When you launch it, it asks you what you will use it for: Security, Streaming, P2P (torrents), or Anonymity.
