Editor's Note: Our first NordVPN review was published back in 2017, but after significant updates we've revisted the review.
NordVPN is arguably the best known VPN provider. Launched more than a decade ago, it has long had a reputation for its reliable unblocking of popular streaming services.
Indeed, it recently made our list of the best VPNs for streaming and is also our best VPN for gaming. Despite its dominance, NordVPN still has some things to work on, not least the presentation of its apps.With a NordVPN subscription, you’ll have access to more than 6,000 servers in 111 countries.
This is a sizable server network and surpasses the vast majority of VPN services on the market. It’s only to be expected that NordVPN offers more servers than a provider like PrivateVPN because it caters to a significantly higher number of users.Server quantity isn’t everything but it offers some advantages.
In particular, it means that user load is more evenly distributed, allowing for more consistent connections. A greater number of server locations makes it likelier that you’ll find a server in close proximity to your location for faster speeds (because data doesn’t have to travel as far).
