Express VPN vs NordVPN

One big gripe with their app was the fact it has no uninstaller for Mac. You have to manually go around finding system files and deleting them one by one- big pain. Also my networked PC would not see my mac via private network when ExpressVPN was installed.

I contacted support and requested a refund to which I was decline. The support representative submitted a ticket in which I got a response denying my refund. I stated I no longer want their service and that the charge is for a service that hasn't begun yet, and still hasn't. They functionally stole my money for a service that hasn't even started yet and refuse to return the money that they stole

In my opinion NordVPN's approach is much safer as it prevents the accidental "I disconnected and forgot to reconnect before launching a website and outing my IP scenario"

Using a VPN will both secure your data, as all of your data traffic is sent through en encrypted virtual tunnel, and it also disguises your IP (this is where its useful for torrents).

OpenVPN as a protocol seemed to work fine, but of course it's nowhere near as fast as NordLynx.

The speeds were very nice, no super annoying ping or anything. It was definitely manageable. They have a shitload of servers, so that helped I think. And they, as far as I know, moved entirely to ram servers, which in my case was what I preferred

* Speed was *really* good. Even connecting to countries far from my own. I barely noticed any change.
