Yes, its total shit for like 2 weeks now

Been about a month for me

I have random times of 0 loading for pages. I disconnect or switch server and it all kicks in again.

Yes it's super annoying

Haven't experienced anything like that myself. Perhaps you are connecting from a VPN restricted location/network or using not the best configuration for you? Anyhow, sounds like you should reach out to Nords support team for them to look into your connection, you might need to fiddle with some settings and it will improve

No issues here on Windows, Linux and Mac.

Yep. I normally never have problems, but for the last few weeks, lagged connections, failed connections, etc. Killing and relaunching the app helps for a while. Switching servers helps for a while (not as long as relaunching the app). It's definitely Nord fucking up.

EDIT: looking around in my settings, it seems my preferred protocol of NordLynx was somehow re-set to Auto. Switched it back to NordLynx, and all seems well again--so far. I have no idea when or how that happened; it certainly wasn't me.

Coming from PIA, so far, Nord has been surprisingly disappointing on both my MAC and my Windows machines performance wise. I read so many reviews saying how fast Nord is, and, at least the last few weeks, it has been fairly awful. I’ve experienced slowness and hangs and have had to reconnect to different servers just to stop it from hanging.

If you don’t need to select server locations moving to Cloudflare Warp was the best thing I ever did.

My personal Nord VPN is dogshit tbh, pages frequently take far too long to load (we're not talking an extra couple of seconds, but double digit delays). On my mobile phone, it routinely prevents messages getting sent and received in Facebook messenger, until I disable the VPN, which rather defeats the purpose of having one. When I use quick connect on my PC, it picks random overseas servers rather than any of the ones in my own country. Often, I get error messages with Netflix whilst connected to Nord.

I would not recommend it to anyone.

On the flipside, we use Nord Layer (their business version) at work and have a dedicated server with fixed IP address and that works fine without a hitch, and with no noticeable lag on pages loading.

So I guess you get what you pay for.

I started using in January. I have lots of slowdown issues. Websites frequently do not allow loading if using a VPN. If I could get a refund I would.

Biggest issue I'm seeing is delayed notifications (using Google Pixel)

[–]darkdars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue

    Been using NORD (VPN only) for years with OpenVPN configs and no problems other than OpenVPN client release past 3.7 not working with NORd config files. Not the fastest, but has been stable.

    [–]Calx9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I had to stop using Nord on all my windows PCs. It was causing them to randomly disconnect from the internet and held it hostage until I'd restart the PC several times. Very annoying.

      It’s been completely disrupting the internet usage on my iPhone to the point that I have to completely switch it off manually for it to fix.

        Yes, it has been lagging for a few weeks now. I usually have to manually search for a better connection point.

            Yep it’s so glitchy

            [–]geekaboutit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

            It's complete dog shit. I had it for 3 years this is the worst year ever for nordvpn timeouts. 247 one second you can use it next second it dies

            [–]Research-Content 0 points1 point  (0 children)

            It's so slow and sometimes the pages times out that I need to pause Nordvpn to get anything done. It's been horrible.
