    how good is there 30 day money back guarantee, i know pure VPN offered money back period if you wanted to cancel but there was a limit on data usage that i did not know of so i had gone way over the data limit as they claimed and was stuck using it for 2 year plan i had signed up for. i might of used nord vpn trial too i can't remember i assume i could just signup as a new customer on different email address.

    have not bothered with a vpn since that deal expired as i don't really use netflix or any site that requires geo blocking and i figure google already has all my data no point trying to hide it now i guess a vpn for less then $20 for 3 years is better then nothing but would def be wanting cashback to be tracked.

      The youtubers are reactive nonsense. No personal information was lost and it was the data centre’s issue, not the NPN’s. these same people still use services like Facebook that have had much worse breaches.

        I think what most people have an issue with isn't the data breach itself, but their neglect of disclosing it, which is a fair criticism. I don't think it's a major issue that should steer you away from the company though.

        • Sammy Boi on 31/10/2019 - 16:09

          Unless they re-address the situation I think people definitely should think twice about this company. I don't think they really know what went down and they want to tell us even less. that doesn't leave a very comfortable feeling with me. People keep comparing the situation to every company out there but we are talking about a privacy company keyword privacy. People keep comparing it to the things that have happened to Xbox PlayStation and YouTube and I don't see a connection whatsoever. People don't seem to dig into the situation either. They blamed the hosting company for having something in place for remote administration they claim they didn't know that was in place well I'm pretty sure it was on the homepage for the hosting service. I'd love to hear some creative excuses for this.

      • snep on 31/10/2019 - 08:55

        I believe it was possible that personal data could have been stolen when accessing that specific server, but whether this actually occurred is not confirmed.

        The attack revealed the servers private keys, which means that it would be possible for the attacker to mount a MITM attack on those trying to access that specific server by intercepting packets destined for the server and impersonating it, then collecting the now-unencrypted traffic. This isn't necessarily a trivial thing to do, but certainly within the realms of possibility.

        • Sammy Boi on 31/10/2019 - 16:10

          And those keys were exposed for how many months?

  • wfdTamar on 30/10/2019 - 18:35

    The impression I get is that the deal is an upfront voucher discount, not a cash back, so the end price is US$138.20 (after GST is applied).

      +8

      They're official statement is pretty piss poor I'm a paying customer and I'm currently not using the service.
      The public should have been notified a very long time ago about this breach they didn't make any public announcement until after the TechCrunch article
      I don't believe they are telling us everything and I don't believe they know everything.

      • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2019 - 21:48
        +5

        Yep, it's the disclosure that's the issue. I'd be very surprised if worse isn't happening to just about all the VPN providers, but now we know Nord hasn't disclosed it. If they'd disclosed this in a timely manner I'd be more confident rather than less as I am now. The type of 'hack' is not extremely unlikely to happen to any company not managing all their servers physically, which is, as far as I know, all of the VPN providers.

    • TrendyTim on 31/10/2019 - 09:19

      If you stayed away from anyone that had been hacked soon enough you may as well just stop using the internet. Sony, Microsoft, Google (and quite probably most big name players) have all had incidents in the past, the problem is how they handled it, not the fact they were hacked, the only surefire way to not get hacked to to not be connected at all, you can only minimise risk.

      • Sammy Boi on 31/10/2019 - 16:11

      The difficult bit is knowing which company that actually is, until this week it was Nord. Now we know they have a pretty crappy disclosure policy, but not really any more about where they rank in terms of security, if this issue is truly all the issues they've had in the last few years I'd wager they're in the top 2-3 at least.

    • Blitzfx on 30/10/2019 - 21:49
      +15

      For anyone else not informed, Nord VPN knew of a breach 19 months ago and didn't tell anybody, thinking it wasn't a big deal. This is a very big deal for privacy, and for some, the life of activists in country's where they are persecuted.

      In the mean time, they pumped out massive ad campaigns everywhere online, knowing full well of this breach.

      They only bothered to tell people about it after they were caught by a third party who discovered there was a breach. Can you imagine if the third party never found it? Nord would never tell anyone.

      I wouldn't give them a cent. Any ethical company would immediately disclose to the public that there has been a breach. How can you trust Nord when their primary market is centered around privacy and encryption.

      The keys, however, could still have been used in active attacks, in which hackers use leaked keys on their own server to intercept and decrypt data.

      • Sammy Boi on 31/10/2019 - 16:13

        Yeah people are too busy comparing the past issues with Sony Microsoft and YouTube to a privacy company that didn't disclose anything until they were basically forced

  • AlienC on 30/10/2019 - 21:03

    Sorry to ask this again but what do you guys use it for and can it handle high speed and large bandwidth or data.

    Would it benefit me if I don't pirate.

    I use YouTube, Netflix (sometimes), that is pretty much it.

    Probably won't start watching hulu or BBC in other countries so I don't think this is for me unless do you guys use it just for extra level of safety / paranoia not that that is a bad thing.. better safe than sorry

    I have to ask because $13.00 USD for 3 years is pretty damn good but wondering if it can keep up with my 50/20 unlimited NBN or throttle me and what I could use it from a gaming standpoint or just any standpoint really.

    I might be interested if it works for accessing US Netflix but honestly don't want my account flagged or banned for attempting that so what are you guys using NordVPN for?

    Go.

      I'm on NBN100 but when I tested their free trial, I was limited to about 30 Mbps.

      It's main use is privacy. If you don't need privacy you can get by without it.

      Some countries do not give you freedom of speech. For example lesse majeste laws. If you insult their monarch, it's a jailable offense. Thailand for instance. If you insult the Thai king (and simply liking a critical post on facebook would count as an insult) you can get 70 years jail time. If you forgo a trial and plead guilty, they will halve the sentence to 35 years. Both are bad options. I wouldn't dare say anything about him even here.

      Other countries have firewalls that filter out what parts of the internet you can and can't access.

      I would say that mainstream (non-China) use would be to get around geoblocking, or content discrimination (ala Netflix) and price discrimination.

      • AlienC on 30/10/2019 - 22:39

        So basically privacy, US Netflix and price region tampering / fixing (for stuff like YouTube Premium, Spotify Premium and maybe Steam Store Pricing? Though the last one sounds impossible or not doable in the long run a la they will find out and revoke the key / purchase).

        Got it.

    • cheesecactus on 31/10/2019 - 00:57

      I've got both. Had pure for 5 or so years. Got an lifetime plan for $80 or so. And got Nord from one of the previous cashback deals.

      Purevpn isn't as stable and the windows client is average. Nord is very stable with a great client.

      But. If you are using it for streaming to USA, UK, or a couple other countries, Nord is great.

      If you want streaming from basically any other country (Australia included) then get purevpn.

      No issue with speed on nordvpn. Get the same 115/5 with or without VPN. Pure is about half that.

    I signed up on the last deal, coming from 3 years using ExpressVPN. There was about a 3 week overlap between services.

    I don't know anything about the server breach others are referring to (probably should have done my research), but from my experience on performance, I've noticed a noticeable difference in speed between Australian servers on ExpressVPN and NordVPN (Express being appreciably faster).

    It's not a deal breaker for me (Australian internet is crap anyway by first world standards), but if it is for other people, the much cheaper price for Nord may not be worth the slower speed (and I signed up to expressVPN with their introductory offer 3 years ago, which was still net more expensive than this).

  • xecutor on 31/10/2019 - 13:31

    When the company website says the following -

    The NordVPN name was inspired by Nordic ideals of confidence, trust, and innovation. It reflects how we value our customer freedom of choice, how we strive to be innovative with our technology and the way we work.

    In the spirit of transparency, we’ll do everything we can to keep you updated about all aspects of our service, from server status upgrades to occasional glitches. We aim to create a lasting relationship of mutual trust with you, the customers who share our deeply held values.

    What a load of crap and this is no different from when banks admitting a security breach and then turning around with PR statements saying 'here is free credit monitoring'.

    It all comes down to trust and Virtual PRIVATE Networks are suppose to do just that. Why didn't they acknowledge the breach and alert their users? They took the sweep it under the rug approach and were not transparent with the end user. Their excuse was it was 1 server in Finland but it doesn't take 8+ months to confirm a breach.

    While I agree that no username/passwords were breached it doesn't change the fact the company chose to sit and stay silent on this breach (no matter if this was low to medium) level breach.

    Well at least now you know why they were spending millions on ads and cheap VPN plans as they knew this information would come out.

    Stay clear of this company they certainly don't live up to their values.

    I kept getting timeouts when connecting to Aus servers about 50% of the time, from multiple locations. Could take minutes to finally establish a connection.

    NordVPN announced they got hacked. I cancelled within their 30 day period and got a refund, no dramas.

    I'm only out of pocket ~$5 due to exchange rates.

    NordVPN get a lot of bad reviews for customer support outside the 30 day period

    Mine didn't track either.
    Im sure a solution will be found either from cashrewards ticket and/or refund from nordvpn
