Pros

“NordVPN has prevented me from downloading malware on my computer, putting all the information stored at risk, it detects malicious malware that wants to enter the system in time, it has reliable security that allows me to browse safely without fear of putting my data or information at risk, it provides a good connection speed without annoying loading times”

“The connection is fast enough that I don't notice any buffering, and the "Threat Protection" is a nice little bonus because it actually stops those annoying pop-up ads while I'm browsing.”

“The best feature of NordVPN are the browsers extensions, I really like it because I can use a secure connection just for the browser and not for the whole system.”
