During testing, we found that NordVPN consistently performs well in terms of speed and stability, and the VPN also has exceptionally fast connection times. NordVPN works with all of the major streaming services, such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, and the DAZN channel for live and on-demand sports streaming. There are FAQ articles detailing how to securely stream with most of these services. And if you run into problems, or are unsure which is the best server to connect to for unlocking a specific service, there is live chat and email support. A tip is to use the “quick connect” function when you are streaming, on the provision that the country you’re streaming from has geographical access to the content you want to watch. This function will select the best server available for speed. Prices start from $4.19 p/m on a two-year standard plan to $14.49 p/m on a complete, one-month subscription. At the time of writing, NordVPN is also running a birthday promotion for its plans. Launched on February 8 and available for one month, new users can subscribe to a two-year plan — standard, plus, or complete — and they will save up to 63% via a gift promotion. At random, users will receive either three months or one year free which is added to the length of the contract.Read our review: Our NordVPN reviewAlso: How does NordVPN work?
