@JAC Interesting.

@phenomlab Certainly, I have had no issues with Proton and their suite of products, I know you wasn’t too keen last time using their VPN.

Once you love and trust a product and get the feel for it it’s probably not easy to be swayed, as you’ve said above you’ve renewed with Nord, now out of the VPNs I’ve used I’d probably go back to Nord before I’d go back to Express VPN, Surfshark etc.

• Nord / Mullvad

• Express VPN

If anyone is interested in Nord VPN Topcashback are offering up to 97% CashBack for a limited time only. If anyone’s interested the link to them is here I use them all the time before buying something particularly expensive I always look on there to be honest.

I think there’s a deal for Surfshark on there too .

*signing up using the referral link above, gives you £10 extra Cashback bonus.

Feel free to take the above link down @phenomlab if it doesn’t mean forum guidelines.

@JAC thanks. The link is fine because you do not directly benefit from it, so it’s fine to post.

I signed up to Nord yesterday. Varied results when testing against Proton but I found Nord to be slower.

Tested on mobile & Android TV (Nvidia Shield).

@phenomlab yes, not much slower so you wouldn’t notice but tests results show otherwise.

@JAC is this with a speed test? They aren’t really a good indicator of actual speed unless you use one specifically designed for that purpose.

Most allow a simple upload and download, but the below site is the most accurate
