I dont believe Nord is sh!t also. Now does it have a lot of users that probably hammer it, then yes i imagine so, but for security its spot on. The only downside is alot of peeps use it so ips can get banned from time to time on some sites, but then just change that ip to another location and alls fine again.
I wouldn’t necessarily say NordVPN is shit, however you do find that some IP’s on NordVPN are black listed, whereas, I haven’t encountered that on ExpressVPN.
Although i must say, i feel like i’m able to get faster internet speeds on NordVPN than ExpressVPN.
