A sad state and finger pointing at Nord won;t help their image.
I had also read about the TorGuard issue.
Thanks for bringing it up. -
I heard that it's a conspiracy by its competitors. I have heard a lot of things so far, but nord's PR and marketing team are quite busy handling it's mess. they deleted their whole page from the web archive and are paying heavily to affiliate websites to keep nord in the ratings. tough times indeed.
but i'd suggest nord vpn users to look for alternatives as nord looks vulnerable right now -

but i'd suggest nord vpn users to look for alternatives as nord looks vulnerable right nowAlthough I only use VPN in a timely manner where free versions are enough, however I look very well at the conditions and security. I have never trusted much in a supposed absolute security and that case of NordVPN shows me that I was right. We can only protect our privacy by means of diverse software partially, the rest depends on ourselves.PD use the free versions of Proton VPN on the PC and Windscribe on the mobile, I do not know if they are the most suitable, but for the use I give them they are enough.

Nord VPN is one of the top rated and most famous VPNs so this was really surprising
