NordVPN review

NordVPN has the widest reach on this list, with 7,000+ servers covering 225+ locations, so there is usually a server close by and many countries to pick from when you are away. It uses post-quantum encryption and adds tracking prevention and protection against malware, which helps on airport and hotel Wi-Fi. You can use it on up to 10 devices at the same time or install it on a Wi-Fi router to cover everything at home. The tradeoff is price. On the US App Store the 12-month plan is $83.99, about $7.00 a month, which is more than Surfshark or Proton VPN Plus, and a month starts at $11.99. NordVPN runs frequent promotions on its own website with a 30-day money-back guarantee, but those prices did not load in US dollars from our location, so we list the App Store price instead.
