What's wrong with nord? Is it specifically bad or just not as good as other options?

Even privacy advocates tend to rate Nord relatively highly. Maybe it’s just, like, the Yankees of VPN services and they advertise hard, so people knee-jerk hate them? (But I don’t know, someone can correct me if I’m wrong.)

I’m disappointed in them dropping Meshnet, that was an awesome free perk.

Many customers cancelled their subscription due to Nord dropping the meshnet they've changed their mind. The service is still running with no plans of cancellation anytime soon.

I was one of those customers! Wonderful news!

And they’re open sourcing it, too? Awesome!

It's proprietary, and therefore most of us don't trust it.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago

Makes sense, I was just curious as I don't know a whole lot about them.

It's bad because it's bloated trash whos main purpose is to upsell their other services.

It doesn't even work right after you hop a few servers.
