NordVPN has a number of specialized servers that VPN power users will want to take note of. Here, NordVPN lists all of its country options in an alphabetized list, along with options for its P2P, Onion over VPN, Double VPN, Anti DDoS, and Dedicated IP servers (more on all this later). If you just need a solid VPN server regardless of location, hit the Connection wizard button, and NordVPN will connect you to the closest server.įor those who can’t stand the map approach, clicking the List option in the upper-left corner of the map summons a slide-out panel from the right. For anyone who is concerned about the attack, an option is to go with a VPN service that is directly responsible for its server network and does not use third parties, such as Mullvad or VyprVPN. The hackers could’ve used the stolen TLS keys to impersonate the NordVPN website in a targeted attack, but it appears that didn’t happen. No customer account information was revealed during the intrusion. The hackers were able to extract an expired TLS key, which cannot be used to decrypt user traffic. The attack was against a single misconfigured server run by one of NordVPN’s contractors in Finland.

This news event does not change our recommendation as the risk to users was very low. Update 10/28/19: NordVPN recently revealed that one of its servers was hacked in early 2018. Go there for details about competing products and how we tested them. Note: This review is part of our best VPNs roundup.
