Meet NordVPN
From one server to a top-tier VPN. From a top-tier VPN to a proactive shield against present-day digital threats.

We strive to make the internet better than it is today, and the best way to do that is by making comprehensive protection effortless and accessible. Under our care, NordVPN has grown beyond being just a VPN — it has evolved into an all-in-one¹ digital security app that protects millions of users from everyday online threats.

Secure your connection with the world’s fastest VPN² to shield your online activity from prying eyes.
How it all started
NordVPN was launched by childhood friends in 2012. They had spent a lot of time in different parts of the world, but saw the same picture: growing internet censorship, content control, and intrusive government surveillance. In other words, they saw a rapidly growing need for an internet security tool that’s easily accessible to everyone.
Who we are now
NordVPN takes its inspiration from the Nordic ideals of confidence, trust, and innovation. We value our customers’ freedom of choice and strive to be innovative with our technology.
Creating a safer and better internet
VPN Trust Initiative
NordVPN is a founding member of the VPN Trust Initiative (VTI). VTI is aimed at educating the public about cybersecurity and setting quality standards for the whole VPN industry. With it, we hope to improve VPN services and help people stay safe online, no matter which provider they choose.
Social responsibility
Internet freedom is one of our core values, so we’re always involved in digital rights projects. We give others emergency VPN access to help fight surveillance and censorship, materially support causes focusing on human and digital rights, and work hard to educate the public about the importance of cybersecurity.
Bug bounty
Nobody's perfect. To help improve the quality and security of NordVPN services, we’ve launched a generous bug bounty program. This way, both ordinary people and professionals can be rewarded for uncovering vulnerabilities in our network and protecting our users.
Audits
Trust is earned through transparency. NordVPN pioneered independent no-log audits in the VPN industry. We regularly submit our apps to rigorous third-party testing and have launched our Trust Center to provide a clear view of our privacy and security practices.
NordVPN manifesto
Our mission is to make Tim Berners-Lee's vision of a truly open internet a reality. Mr. Berners-Lee imagined the internet as a very different place when he implemented the first successful HTML communication in 1989. It was to be a safe space, free from censorship and surveillance. Unfortunately, as headlines around the world show daily, this is hardly the case.
But creating a safe environment requires more than just online privacy. The internet today is full of threats, many of which were not imaginable at the time of its inception. This is what drives our team of mathematicians and technologists: We want people to be free to explore the web without treating every link like a landmine or fearing that someone is monitoring their activity. Including us.
For this reason, our VPN servers keep no logs. If someone asks us about you, we have nothing to share. We are free internet enthusiasts who believe in a common, secure future online. We support fighters for human rights, journalists, volunteers in conflict zones, information activists, and anyone who believes in the power of the open web as imagined by Mr. Berners-Lee.
In the spirit of transparency, we'll do everything we can to keep you updated about all aspects of our service, from server status upgrades to occasional glitches. We aim to create a lasting relationship of mutual trust with you, the customers who share our deeply held values.
