Privacy & security
NordVPN runs a strict no-logs policy that has been independently audited multiple times, and is based in privacy-friendly Panama. It adds a reliable kill switch, RAM-only servers and threat protection.
Speed
In our repeated tests NordVPN was consistently the fastest of the five, thanks to its NordLynx (WireGuard) protocol — ideal for 4K streaming, gaming and large downloads.
Streaming
It reliably unblocked Netflix, Disney+ and BBC iPlayer in our testing, with fast enough speeds to avoid buffering in 4K.
