You have to be very careful with VPNs. Even if they're not directly controlled by spooks they often collect information that a privacy service shouldn't collect. It's also very hard to get reliable information on different services because VPN shills rival the DNC's astroturfing abilities.
So what's wrong with NordVPN? I have never gotten an answer to this question that satisfied me.
I'm not familiar with it, so I can't say. The point isn't that all VPNs are bad, or even that a particular VPN is bad. The point is that there are a lot of bad actors in this space and a lot of shills that make getting honest information difficult.
There is a lot of FUD about VPNs. Even about NordVPN. But I haven't been able to substantiate any of it in a way that made me think using another VPN (short of my own server) would be any better.
If they really don't have your info, they wouldn't be able to hand it over to any court. So I think if we could look at what they do under pressure, we'd know.
