Humble beginnings. To use NordVPN, you have to download a special file and set it up yourself. We launch the first VPN servers, a total of 6 of them. That should be enough.
Forget self-configs — get NordVPN’s app and join the first 1000 users who are using it.
You can get support 24/7 — we’re the first premium VPN to provide it. And if you’re looking for advanced security features, this is when we start rolling them out.
Hello Apple users, NordVPN has become a cross-platform service! Connect to 100 servers in 27 countries.
Oops, we meant 550 VPN servers! Why don’t you connect to one of them with your Android phone?
Do you want to secure your browsing without encrypting your whole internet traffic? You can if you’re using Chrome or Firefox.
Use NordVPN on every major platform (hello, Linux users!). Plus, we set a new standard for VPN transparency with the no-logs audit.
By focusing on the cybersecurity needs of our users, we take our first steps beyond a VPN. Nord products now secure online activity, passwords, files, and even businesses.
NordLynx, our innovative tunneling solution, is now the default VPN protocol. We begin moving to RAM servers and upgrade their speed and security. NordVPN becomes the fastest VPN on the planet.
Ping, you’ve just been informed that your credentials were leaked. That’s our Dark Web Monitor in action. NordVPN now does everything a VPN has to do, so there’s only one way to go.
NordVPN is more than just a VPN. We not only secure the connection of our users but protect them from trackers and malware. Made possible by a major new feature — Threat Protection.
