| 1455592 | 2018-11-14 12:01:00 | Nords TV advert plays out to give the impression they're an antivirus / antimalware service, which is totally different from a VPN (and is zero protection). So which are they? I claim they're more bullsh.. than they are a reliable product, based on the very misleading adverts alone. I don't know if we saw the same ads, but the one I did watch, it was about cyber security Can you link me those ads? | Noah32 (17646) | ||
| 1455593 | 2018-11-14 19:11:00 | I don't know if we saw the same ads, but the one I did watch, it was about cyber security Can you link me those ads? From their site: When enabled, the CyberSec feature will automatically block suspicious websites so that no malware or other cyber threats can infect your device. Additionally, no flashy ads will come into your sight. nordvpn.com Like Paul.Cov- calling BS on that. If someone were to go to a site, download something that has malware embedded, classic example some Programs contain malware, then Nord wouldn't stop them. The malware is not activated until the program is run /installed. Block dangerous websites. The main task of the CyberSec feature is to regularly scan website addresses against popular blocklists and protect users from getting involved in phishing scams and other cyber threats. So if a website you are about to visit is known for hosting malware, trackers, spyware or other malicious software, CyberSec reacts immediately and blocks your access.If Nord actually blocked all these type of infections then a high percentage of the sites wouldn't load. Theres not to many of the movie sites (illegal) that don't contain some sort of malware, popups or "extras". The Question is then --- If someone were using NordVPN are they guaranteed not to get infections on their PC ? (we all know the answer- not even the best AV in the world can claim that) ;) |

Nord will not protect the user from some sort of malware software if it's already on the computer system . A VPN is not a anti-virus software .

(we all know the answer- not even the best AV in the world can claim that) ;) As far as I know CyberSec blocks suspicious websites which are in its database . It seems, that the choice of wording by Nord is misconstructed on this matter . |

| 1455595 | 2018-11-15 20:12:00 | I have to agree with your statement. Nord will not protect the user from some sort of malware software if it's already on the computer system. A VPN is not a anti-virus software. Thats not what I actually said :) I stated that if a person downloaded a program, and when it installs it contains malware which is then installed. I didn't state already installed malware or other infections. Two different things :) What they state When enabled, the CyberSec feature will automatically block suspicious websites so that no malware or other cyber threats can infect your device. --------So if a website you are about to visit is known for hosting malware, trackers, spyware or other malicious software, CyberSec reacts immediately and blocks your access. If that's the case then it will block a high percentage of download sites. The biggest uses for a VPN are to hide where you actually are, just about all the illegal movie steaming sites advise to use a VPN, and a lot of those sites contain all sorts of malicious activity, so going by Nord's wording it should block them -- Bet it doesn't ;) |

| 1455596 | 2018-11-25 13:40:00 | I love both VPNs ( NordVPN and PureVPN ) | onmar (17652) | ||
| 1455597 | 2018-12-26 16:53:00 | Ok first things first I have never used a VPN before and have no idea about it either that how it works. All I know is that it makes you anonymous. So recently I have been travelling to some Asian countries because of my job and found that sometimes I am unable to download anything from torrent sites or unable to stream content on Netflix. My friends back in US have suggested me to go with NordVPN. So I thought to post my query here and ask the expert themselves that should I go with this service ? I also read VPN for du (vpnprivacy.services) review but there are so many technical terms used which I am unable to comprehend. Apart from issue what other benefits are there of getting a VPN ? I have a similar question. I just landed in Dubai and bought local du sim. Unfortunately all my apps like Skype and Whatsapp are not operating in UAE. Can someone recommend me vpn for du that works here? |

| 1455598 | 2018-12-26 17:58:00 | The UAE has recently started blocking VPN's. One of our customers has a corporate office in Dubai and the government started "blocking" VPN's, in this case the product was called GlobalProtect. We had to move all the UAE customers úsers back to their previous VPN solution which was PulseVPN as a workaround... at that point it had not been "blocked" by the government. In the end the solution was to submit a "whitelist" request to the government for the GlobalProtect product via all the ISP's the customer used across the UAE, once that was done GlobalProtect worked. It's weird that Skype doesn't work and I'd say that WhatsApp doesn't work because it encrypts it's traffic so "governments" block it. Not sure if this is true for the UAE though. UAE isn't nearly as bad as the "Great Firewall Of China"...though it's rumoured that they are trying to control the amount of "access" the population has to "Westernized" content... which is ironic given how much of a "westernized" lifestyle most of them have... particularly the younger generations... I mean who wouldn't like driving a Ferrari into the local mall at age 16? |
