FAQ Blog Is nordvpn safe
- Does NordVPN keep logs or store my data?
No, NordVPN has a strict no-logs policy that has been audited five times. They don’t track or store any of their users’ online activity, which gives me reassurance that even if someone gained access to NordVPN’s servers, there would be no information to find.
- Does NordVPN protect me against hackers and cyberattacks?
Yes, NordVPN encrypts your traffic so hackers can’t intercept it. It also offers Threat Protection Pro, which protects you from visiting harmful websites or downloading malicious files. I especially use NordVPN on public WIFi to protect myself from hackers.
- Has NordVPN ever been hacked?
Yes, there was a server hack in 2018 in Finland. Although it wasn’t NordVPN’s fault, they strengthened their security afterward. And despite the breach, no user data was found on the affected server—which reinforces trust in their no-logs policy.
- Does NordVPN leak DNS or WebRTC information?
No, I’ve tested this and NordVPN does not leak DNS or WebRTC information. They even offer a browser extension to block WebRTC directly in your browser.
- Is NordVPN safe for torrenting?
Yes, they offer special Peer-to-Peer servers so you can torrent without the risk of exposing your IP address or identity. I especially like the Kill Switch feature, in case the VPN connection drops, it won’t continue without protection.
- Does NordVPN offer dedicated IP addresses?
Yes, they do offer a dedicated IP address. I’ve been using one since I started with NordVPN, which is at least 6 years ago.
- Is NordVPN safe to use for online banking?Yes, I actually recommend this. Without NordVPN, you could expose sensitive information to the wrong people. Just make sure you use a server from your own country, otherwise your app might not work. That’s at least what happened to me quite regularly.
