    I tried Nord VPN and realized three things: 1: The “limited time specials” they boast are completely misleading. You pay more per month than what they make it sound like in their sponsored messages. 2: They try to automatically renew your subscription and charge your credit card for a significantly higher price with the hope that you wouldn’t notice. 3: Unsubscribing is made to be a frustrating pain in the ass. You have to talk to their sales representatives and they will make you argue for it. And then you’ll have to do it all over again because even though they said they cancelled your subscription it won’t be because " technical problems".

    VPNs rely entirely on trust and Nord has proven to be completely untrustworthy.

    I use Mullvad now and it uses none of those deceiving tactics to lock you into an expensive contact. It also goes long ways to keep you anonymous and has periodic audits to prove they don’t collect your data.
