Yesterday I took a screenshot of their pricing like I always do for my purchases. Not sure if anyone else saw the advertisement on Reddit but today, I saw a Reddit advertisement announcing NordVPN Black Friday sales are available, so I checked and compared the pricing. Surprisingly, it was more expensive than yesterday. See the screenshot below:

So this was yesterdays pricing:

And todays pricing:

    Shows at $3.99/mo for me. Clear your browser cache/cookies/history or use a different browser that you haven’t gone to them before.

    I fucking hate that companies pull shit like this.

    Don’t get nordvpn lol. Want to be limited to like 100-300mbit depending on time of day. Want to be blacklisted from many services.

    MullVad is my personal favorite, no bullshit discounts, no account creation with data harvesting or 3 year contracts for 81% discounts and can handle 1.6Gbit down/up.

    Why would you need a vpn?

    -privacy? Your traffic is https encrypted anyways.

    -bypass geo restriction is the only reason i can think of, but that doesnt improve your network. In fact it makes it worse

    Lots of talk of selling data here. Anybody got a good research article on it? Nord claims they don’t touch the data, and don’t keep logs, and have regular 3P audit verification. Not saying I trust what they’re saying, but it would be good to read some legit sources on the subject.

    Commercial VPN of third parts usually don’t improve your network. You stop your ISP from peek your traffic and you start giving your VPN vendor the opportunity to see all your traffic. In fact many cheap VPN are precisely into selling your traffic data.

    If you insist on using NordVPN - Wait until there’s a 100% cashback offer from Quidco or TopCashback and just keep signing up as a new user.

    How do you want to “improve” your home network with a crappy VPN?

      Because paying for someone to sell all your traffic is better than keeping your traffic private, I guess?!
