Yesterday I took a screenshot of their pricing like I always do for my purchases. Not sure if anyone else saw the advertisement on Reddit but today, I saw a Reddit advertisement announcing NordVPN Black Friday sales are available, so I checked and compared the pricing. Surprisingly, it was more expensive than yesterday. See the screenshot below:

So this was yesterdays pricing:

    Shows at $3.99/mo for me. Clear your browser cache/cookies/history or use a different browser that you haven’t gone to them before.

    I fucking hate that companies pull shit like this.

    Don’t get nordvpn lol. Want to be limited to like 100-300mbit depending on time of day. Want to be blacklisted from many services.

    MullVad is my personal favorite, no bullshit discounts, no account creation with data harvesting or 3 year contracts for 81% discounts and can handle 1.6Gbit down/up.

    Nord VPN suck for their pricing structure, as its more expensive being a repeat customer than it is buying a new promo deal. They value new customers more than repeat customers offering them lower prices. I prefer Express VPN personally. I’ve been using them for 2 years and they haven’t missed a beat so far.

    I’m not quite sure why everyone seems to be getting these types of 3rd party VPN services. What do you even need them for ? If you travel a lot and want to access content in other countries, sure why not, but if you’re just in your home I don’t see what meaningful benefit there is. You won’t suddenly get faster internet, it’s not inherently more secure and your IP is just your IP. I guess these companies it’s demographic are for people who don’t really know what they’re doing, kinda like Anti Virus software back in the day?

    If you insist on using NordVPN - Wait until there’s a 100% cashback offer from Quidco or TopCashback and just keep signing up as a new user.

    Lots of talk of selling data here. Anybody got a good research article on it? Nord claims they don’t touch the data, and don’t keep logs, and have regular 3P audit verification. Not saying I trust what they’re saying, but it would be good to read some legit sources on the subject.

      I am extremely skeptical of any VPN service that has so many ads and YouTube video sponsorships.

    Commercial VPN of third parts usually don’t improve your network. You stop your ISP from peek your traffic and you start giving your VPN vendor the opportunity to see all your traffic. In fact many cheap VPN are precisely into selling your traffic data.
