Guess what, so does every other social media site and all online games too for that matter. Going to guess the password bit does not actually mean things are stored in plain text and more that they can see when and what changes were made to the account.

So can someone rate the NordVPN thing on the Lowtax scale of monitization attempts (which goes from "Uwe Boll Boxing Match" down to "Mangosteen")?

I feel like a VPN of some sort is probably one of those things a family should have but is this one good?

good security idea: deploy something that lets you instantly remotely lock and encrypt any system and train overseas office managers on how to quickly trigger it if a bunch of unauthorized people force their way into the office to gain access to sensitive data.

bad security idea: defining "police with a search warrant" as unauthorized.

nordvpn is one of those public vpn services with a single pre-shared key for each and every connection. that psk is "nordvpn". if you're not using it for security and you just want to watch netflix or whatever it's fine

here's that non-exhaustive list of terrible vpn services: https://gist.github.com/kennwhite/1f3bc4d889b02b35d8aa

i’ve used protonvpn the few times my work vpn didn’t work out and they’re only bad because they suspend your associated protonmail account if you don’t pay the vpn bills

you can avoid this if you don’t associate your vpn account with a protonmail account, but then you can’t use two factor auth

it’s not a good look though i’m sure they have the bases covered

yeah don’t rely on nordvpn to keep you safe if you’re trying to dodge a government or whatever but if you just want to torrent Linux ISO’s or dodge an overly restrictive firewall or use public WiFi more safely it’s fine

also the pre shared key isn’t an issue if you use their app or OpenVPN instead of the trash fire built into old android/windows

If you're not dodging governments or other police-states, something like NordVPN or PIA is fine for things like changing regions for streaming or using public WiFi or stopping DPI by your ISP.

If you are concerned THEY ARE WATCHING, then algo and a hosting service are the way to go.

Nation state actors are both incredibly powerful and incredibly incompetent adversaries at the same time.


Also no one ever MiTMs anything beyond the first hop, VPN services definitely dont mine your data like mad.

To be clear I'm not saying l33thaxx0rVPN.com is good, just that bouncing your traffic off a rented digital ocean box isn't such a clever trick if your adversary theoretically has insight and control over the whole network, and cares enough to hunt you down specifically.
