First, I tried to access the services from Germany using a German server this worked without issues.įor the next test, I connected to a United States server and tried to access the two streaming services again this worked equally well and without any issues. Please note that some server IP addresses may be blocked as streaming platforms may block certain IP addresses from accessing their content (if they assume that it is a VPN IP).įor this test, Netflix and Amazon Prime were selected. You may unblock streaming platforms using NordVPN. IP Leak Test: passed ( ) Unblock streaming platforms test Good news is that NordVPN passed all leak tests that we ran: NordVPN privacy testĪ VPN should not leak the local device’s IP address, as it would not be all that great for privacy. All in all, excellent speed test results for standard Internet connections. Mileage may vary depending on the server or servers, and the Internet speed as well as connection quality on the user’s end. The tested performance matches that of the Internet line, which is very good. We used for the test, and ran three tests for two different servers to test a local NordVPN server and a server in the United States. The system we used was connected to a 50/20 Mbit connection to the Internet from a location in Germany. We ran several tests to determine NordVPN’s performance. You could use the feature to watch geo-restricted streams on Netflix or Amazon Prime, while using the non-VPN connection for other activities.

It is designed to hide the VPN traffic to use it in censorship environments, e.g. Obfuscated Servers – The feature works only with the OpenVPN protocol.Instead of blocking the entire Internet traffic, users may also stop certain applications from connecting to the Internet while the VPN connection is not up and running. Kill Switch – if the VPN connection is terminated, for whatever reason, Internet access may be cut immediately.It is turned on by default and acts as a first-line of defense.
NordVPN clients support a number of extra security features:ĬyberSec – CyberSec integrates ad blocking and the blocking of malicious websites into the service. A single compromised server could reveal the user’s IP address, but that is not the case if a Double VPN is used, as the second VPN’s IP address would be revealed in that case. Regular VPN connections are routed through a single VPN server which protects the user’s IP address on the Internet. These chain a user’s connection and always uses two servers in different counties to improve security further. Clients provide access to all servers, and it is up to the customer to pick a server from the country list or a specialty server.īesides designated P2P servers, NordVPN does support Double VPN servers.
