NordVPN Explains Why They Think You Should TRUST Them

[@srhatfield]

The world governments have seemingly given up on cracking the VPN or secured transmission layers, and have started moving toward forcing device manufacturers to introduce the government as a man in the middle on the device itself. There's not much the device manufacturers can do to stop this, since the government is who is making them do it. The governments dress this invasion of everyone's privacy up in "Think about the children!" speak, as usual. Rob Braxman talks about this a lot on his channel. He advocates that the only way around this massive intrusion to our privacy is to run a Linux based OS on our devices that is installed and configured by the user from known and trusted sources. Good luck with that, right?!

great interview Josh

[@AllThingsSecured]

Thanks so much, Liron 🙏

[@st4rbuk]

Very good interview! Asked all the right questions.

[@darth_dan8886]

Wish they would give all the answers tho, but I guess can't have a corporate interview without some dodging.

[@-someone-.]

@@darth_dan8886 go research their open source code, and study all the yearly audits... maybe then you’ll get some answers

[@AllThingsSecured]

Thanks - I'm still learning how to do good interviews, but I appreciate the encouragement.

[@robbertvanark2638]

Hey can you make a video about: If you were to start from scratch and the objective was to stay private and secure, how would you do it?

[@insersed6525]

This is something I wondered about for a long time.

[@user-su1vs7xb7j]

in a word, "NO"

[@lussor1]

Nord is cncr

[@AllThingsSecured]

I’m perfectly happy with that answer! I’m not trying to sway your opinion here, I’m just curious to know who you do trust…and why? By the way, did you watch the interview starting at 13:25?

[@user-su1vs7xb7j]

@@AllThingsSecured 😁that was a spot-on question. Watched the interview. Lovely as always. I trust only mullvad for the reasons you know better. Would love to see you continuing these interview series by bringing in leaders from other vpn companies like mullvad, ivpn, proton, etc. And dont restrict to vpn company, go beyond it.

[@NomadOutdoorAdventures]

I just wish they would focus more on NordVPN instead of trying to bring out more programs just focus on one program and make that program work really good right now half of the times it’s not working very good specially, on the phone on a computer. It always seems to work good but on the iPhones. Been having a lot of connection issues.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Interesting - sorry to hear you've had connection problems.

[@rjain1993]

👍🏻 loved the last part , what a average person should do for online privacy & security

[@micheletrentini3187]

Just 1 matter of Fact, They're based in a state that has non existent privacy and data retention policy, there is no Gdpr likenin the EU, or better the Swiss legislation. There is no third party organization or national or International office who can confirm they're really doing what they claim. ProtonVpn for life

[@imzachwithanh]

Nice job on the interview

Thanks, Zachary 🙏

[@Bushchannel]

Excellent content! Great work interviewing Nord!

[@AllThingsSecured]

Thanks so much!

[@jimmyward2848]

Which is better in the USA Nord or Surfshark? Thanks, Guys!

[@Ciborium]

My question as well.

[@AllThingsSecured]

They're basically the same. Seriously - their offices are less than 50 meters apart in Lithuania and although I don't think they're owned by the same company, they have a weird cooperative relationship.

[@MCMXI1]

@@AllThingsSecured I'm wondering the same thing about Nord and Mulvad Josh. Anything you can offer would be appreciated!

[@djpuplex]

Their billing practices are alone are the reason their reputation is in the toilet.

[@AllThingsSecured]

I haven’t had any problems so far. Sorry it’s been a negative experience for you.

[@djpuplex]

@@AllThingsSecured They have auto renewal that is not the easiest to cancel. I did successfully however many people have been auto newed with no option to cancel.

[@AllThingsSecured]

I actually tested that in a video last year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5e3qaGddqimorMsi=eYsy5a9yp-g_bACN

[@Derby08]

I just renewed and they seemed to be very sneaky. Did not inform me of upcoming charge hid there “better deal” until I complained repeatedly did they give me a deal! I might add that there response has been very professional when they responded. I’m sticking with them because it’s all I know and don’t want to start over. I believe it works. No company is perfect and at least they respond!

[@kennwoods5118]

So, you've change your mind on vpns?

[@AllThingsSecured]

No. I don’t believe a VPN is an end-all security solution, but there are still valid use cases.

[@martin6901]

@@AllThingsSecured Fair answer. It's a tool in the privacy toolbox. :)

Josh what vpn service do you personally use yourself

Internet Historian makes the pinnacle Nord VPN ads. What will Nordman do next?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Can’t please them all. Thanks for the comment anyway.

[@TheSwayzeTrain]

@@AllThingsSecured 😄 I had to think about your comment for a second as it threw me. I wasn't implying that your interview was an advert. I simply meant that I can't see Nord VPN without thinking about Internet Historians long running 'Nordman' advert segments.

Ah…gotcha 😂 Sorry, I’m dealing with plenty of odd comments on this one and I didn’t follow what you were saying. Ha!

[@DACHUCKSTER504]

I’m looking for a VPN. Any good ones you can recommend?

[@MCMXI1]

Excellent interview. I've been with Nord for a long time and suffered occasional frustrations and concerns leading me to consider others. Maybe I'll stick around for a bit.

[@robtihanyi1155]

Great vid Josh... appreciate the homework you do before the interview as it makes your questions both timely and very relevant.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Thanks so much, Rob. 🙏

[@IvanKosta-dv5mw]

This guy Marius was on an infomercial for NordVPN on tv and used a really bad AI of himself that removed his accent and made him look and sound ridiculously robotic!🤣

[@martin6901]

Small point: It's WireGuard not Wireguard. :)

[@AllThingsSecured]

Thanks for the correction :)

[@designer.346]

It’s GuardWire

Try canceling your Nord autopay subscription without headaches or drama. I bet you won't get it done without calling your credit card company and ask them to step in

[@AllThingsSecured]

I did and I recorded the whole process here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5e3qaGddqimorM

[@jbrock8596]

If you had used a Privacy card you wouldn't have to worry about it. Just cancel the card.

[@conconlomp3308]

NO ! I had major hacking which NORDS team in USA was part of

[@AllThingsSecured]

How would Nord be responsible for a major hack?

[@hd9g]

Nord has trackers built into their apps unlike some others. Irony.

[@AllThingsSecured]

You can't make an accusation like that without a source.

[@hd9g]

@@AllThingsSecured Check out exodus privacy . What you find will make you regret doing an interview with Nord. Nord masquerades as a privacy company. Profit motivated.

[@bapzishere]

Question , where is the proof they don't collect logs? VPN companies say they don't but how can the end customer know that they are actually not storing logs.

[@IdkG7]

They have been audited but I wouldn’t trust snake oil Nord Mullvad, IVPN are the best privacy focused VPNs

[@AllThingsSecured]

You'll hear tons of people tell you that "such and such" VPN shouldn't be trusted but "x and y" VPN can be. It's all security theater. Where's the proof? They do independent audits, but the real proof is whether or not they have information to hand over when requested by government authorities. I like Mullvad and iVPN, but calling them the "best" is entirely subjective in the same way that telling people not to trust Nord is subjective. The VPN world is cut-throat and people have strongly-held, mostly baseless convictions about it all.

[@bapzishere]

@AllThingsSecured Good they do audits but that stays internal within the organization. If they do give logs / information to the government that definitely stays internal because of organizations reputation. Even if they refuse to share data with the government that stays internal as well , they won't share official conversation with the public . At best a vague public statement will be released, that they refused to disclose information, but still there is no proof in the end .In the end its all blind faith and hope they don't disclose your information.

[@IdkG7]

@@AllThingsSecured tell me why Mullvad or IVPN isn’t the best when it comes to being privacy focused. I’m waiting for it

[@IdkG7]

Mullvad didn’t hand over anything as they didn’t have anything, what about Nord? Has this happened yet?

[@jamesmcmillan2656]

No

I have a nord vpn account, but my email address got hacked, so I have a new one, but you can't change your mail address at your Nord vpn account??? so I am paying for nothing... thanks Nord VPN...
