Why don't you try installing Nord in a VM and monitoring traffic yourself, instead of taking low-quality blogspam Medium articles at face value?
If they're truly hijacking end user clients, why don't you point to the section of their open source client that's responsible for that?

Easy enough to prove.
- KomoD 3y agoExactly, I'd love to see some proper proof other than "the parent company owns a residential proxy service"
- internetter 3y agoHonestly, "the parent company owns a residential proxy service" is more than enough to deter me from the product.
- internetter 3y agoI didn't even read the medium article, only the first one. That's what I quoted from. I agree, investigating traffic would be an excellent idea, but I don't intend on putting my credit card into nord's sketchy site (they apparently don't accept paypal)
- KomoD 3y agoThey do accept paypal, I just checked their site. Credit or debit card, Klarna, PayPal, Google Pay, Cryptocurrencies
- internetter 3y agoWhere? I'm presented with "Credit or debit" (direct input), AmazonPay, ACH Transfer, and Crypto https://imgur.com/G4j1DB8 https://imgur.com/G4j1DB8
- KomoD 3y agoMaybe possible it differs by country then: https://i.imgur.com/fTtdOfR.png https://i.imgur.com/fTtdOfR.png
- fomine3 3y agoIf I were evil, I don't implement proxy feature on open Linux VPN client that geeks use, but just implement on closed Windows/Android client. Traffic monitoring is better.
