YSK that NordVPN did a huge price hike in the last couple of years

Why YSK - NordVPN effectively costs 3x as much as it did a couple years ago and it could definitely be worth shopping around. I have had Nord since 2018 and I have paid ~$90 USD for 2 year subscriptions ever since. However, today I was charged $150 for a *1 year* subscription. That’s a 3x increase over what I used to pay. I’m not sure if anybody actually pays full price for Nord, but could be worth checking to make sure you’re not getting charged a ton.

Bonus: Nord has a hidden “request a refund” billing page if you contact their support and ask for a refund.

Mullvad VPN is your friend. Don’t have to sign up for a year either, can just do one month should you wish

3

When I turned off auto renewal, I got a good offer from them. I wanna say it was 18 months free if I renewed for a year. Worth a try.

4

Did you not use a promo code? I just used SPECIAL snd got 2 years for $80. Always find a code. Just gotta google it.

5

Gotta pay Harry Mack somehow.

YSK that NordVPN is one of the worst options for paid VPN services you will find.

the most well known and popular “security software” is one you should prefer not using because it is the first one to be targeted because the most popular service is the one with the most users.
which is an argument supported by the fact that NordVPN was already hacked once.

still better than using a “free” VPN

This is good to know because I cashed in on one of those 3 year subscriptions in 2022 and I believe I only had to pay I believe $80. My sub expires in February so I’ll definitely take this note into account before it automatically dings me for a renewal.

If there’s a page to request a refund that is hidden, you should post it. That is the real “ysk.”

How about Surfshark?

10

just don’t use nord VPN at all. it’s not a great VPN

11

Did you switch to a different provider?

12

I’ve been using Windscribe and it’s been great. I’d recommend it to anyone.

wait till the next black Friday, there’s always a deal then. I got it for 70 euros for 3 years.

13

I signed up for a 30 day trial so I could watch Taskmaster NZ. They then emailed me an offer of 2 years for around $65. I took the offer but probably won’t renew after that.

14

All these influencers have to be paid somehow. Thats where your money goes.

15

I got Nord for 80$ for 2 years recently. And it had like 90% cash back with Rakuten.

16

Not surprising given the amount of advertising they’ve been doing lately. Seems like everyone is shilling for Nord VPN these days.

17

I always let it expire, and signup with their BF or other holiday deals. Brings the price back down to $2/month or something like that

18

“Get 73% off NordVPN + 3 extra months” is currently running. Just gotta wait for the discounts… pro tip: they always run discounts on Black Friday

19

I guess the cost of buying every single youtube channel has to be funded by somehow. Funny how it works where we have to watch ads before and during YouTube videos, promos in the videos, all so we can pay a company 3x more to continue funding them making our YT experience worse.

Find an alternative. Fairly sure they’re a data collection company masquerading as a VPN anyway.

Nord is trash and it slows down the connection. Mullvad is cheaper and better imo
