A nice piece of marketing by NordVPN.
- krisroadruck 3y agoTheir SEO must be foaming at the mouth that it didn't result in a link lol
- kritiko 3y agoThey're the #1 result on Google and they run ads on seemingly every podcast or YouTube channel I watch. I think they're fine.
- kristianc 3y agoI guess using a VPN to spoof your location to another country is also an excellent way to spend your afternoon on the phone to your bank getting your card unlocked as well..
- gnicholas 3y agoIndeed. Since when is NordVPN a "cybersecurity company"? > The research was undertaken by cybersecurity company NordVPN which manipulated the location of their computers on their browsers using a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
- mattgreenrocks 3y agoWonder if they've bled the YouTube influencer well dry, where every one of them just loves that NordVPN lets them circumvent geo-blocks on streaming services while they travel. For as dumb as geo-restricted content is, there's a certain irony to the fact that the new form of TV is sponsored by talking heads telling you how to get around content restrictions of other forms of TV, and shilling for that is part of what it means to make it big.

- avnigo 3y agoAnd the kicker is, as other commenters here have pointed out, it now also depends on the card you're using to pay with, straight up pulling a bait and switch after you try to pay: they don't go through with the charge if they see you're using an American card and then ask for more money.
