I had a problem using NordVPN on a…

I had a problem using NordVPN on a specific site. I could not find this issue addressed in the Support Center, so I began with the Chat. It was a bot, but the best I've encountered - replies were always to the point, and the dialogue moved forward.
When the bot could not help it referred the issue to a human, who joined the chat within seconds. I did not need to repeat steps (previous traumatic experience), the instructions I received were clear and detailed. My support human had so much patience and guided me through the time I got stuck despite the excellent instructions.
After a very long time of thoroughly trying various options with me and the issue not resolved, my problem was escalated and I will hear back within a few days.
Whether NordVPN will be able to resolve this issue or not is of less consequence. I had the best support encounter I could wish for.

Good support

I've only had to reach out to their support team once in 4 years and when I did, they systematically worked through my issue and fully resolved it. Good product, good support.

Title: Exceptional support from Margarita López!

Review:
I recently reached out to NordVPN support regarding an issue with my dedicated IP, and I had the pleasure of being assisted by Margarita López. She was incredibly professional, efficient, and polite throughout the entire interaction. Margarita listened to the problem carefully and provided clear, step-by-step guidance that resolved the dedicated IP issue quickly. It is rare to encounter such high-quality technical customer service. Thank you, Margarita, for the fantastic support and for making the experience so seamless!

Vpn stays on when app is closed

Not a good vpn due to the fact that vpn does not turn off when you close the app on your phone. My battery has drained many times without me realizing VPN was on in the background. Nord needs to have the option for vpn dis connecting when app is closed. Plenty of other companies do not have this issue.

Reply from NordVPN

Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that NordVPN’s behavior on your phone has caused inconvenience. We understand why that would be frustrating. To clarify, some battery usage is expected while a VPN connection remains active, as the app needs to maintain communication with our servers to keep your connection protected. Even when the phone is locked or in sleep mode, the app may still send signals to the server, which can increase mobile radio activity and contribute to battery consumption. That said, our developers are continuously working on optimizing the app to reduce battery impact as much as possible while maintaining security and connection stability. If you have further questions or would like help reviewing your app settings, please reach out to us at support.nordvpn.com, and our team will be glad to assist. - P.B.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience left you feeling so frustrated. We understand how upsetting an unexpected charge can be. We can see that you have already discussed this situation with our support team. To clarify, the lower introductory price is offered so customers can try NordVPN and decide whether they would like to continue using the service. After the initial plan ends, the subscription renews at the regular price, which reflects the full service, including all available features, infrastructure, security tools, and ongoing product support. If any changes were made to your plan or renewal terms, you should have been notified by email in advance. If you did not see such a message, we kindly recommend checking your spam or junk folder as well. That said, we sincerely apologize for the frustration this situation caused. If you have any further questions or would like the case reviewed again, please contact our support team, and they will be happy to assist further. - P.B.

I spoke with Héctor Zambrano, at the beginning I was fearful that I might have to deal with a lot of bureaucracy but unfortunately that wasnt the case, Hector was attentive and efficent. You should give his a raise

I travel quite a lot for work and often have to rely on hotel Wi-Fi, which always felt a bit risky. I decided to get this mainly for the extra security on public networks, and so far, it's been a smooth experience. My kids also use it on their tablets to watch their favorite shows from home while we are abroad. It took me a minute to figure out the map interface at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s actually quite intuitive. Definitely feels like a reliable tool for a family that's always on the move.

Perceived virus behavior despite not being a virus.

When ever i try to disconnect from and shut down the VPN, it turns off my internet. Some times i can turn it off and have it work, but that's after having re-opened it 2 to 4 times just to shut it down again.
When i try to close the program, it just forcibly re-opens itself unless i go into task manager and shut down all the tasks in quick succession. And the speed while i'm connected is horrible. I started a download with the VPN on. The timer told me it would take two hours despite being connected to the closest server. I managed to turn off the VPN, and it took 15 minutes after that.
