*EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT!* For this month only, NordVPN is offering a 75% discount for their VPN service. Use the link here to learn more: www.farwestchi...
I've been using NordVPN to upload videos to KZfaq from China for the past year, so I decided to share my unbiased VPN review as well as a setup tutorial for those who want to try.
********************************
Try NordVPN with a 30-day money back guarantee: www.farwestchi...
I get asked numerous times every week: "How do you access KZfaq, Facebook and Twitter while you're living in China?" Because of what is known as The Great Firewall - really just China's censorship of the internet - usually these websites won't even open in China.
The answer to the question is simple: I use a VPN (aka "Virtual Private Network").
Don't know what a VPN is? Watch this video: • WHAT IS A VPN? Non-tec...
NordVPN is one of many VPNs that I use here in China that not only allows me to access blocked websites but also secures my internet activity to keep me (mostly) safe from hacking & identity theft.
Since I've been using this software for so long, I thought it would be helpful if I provided a personal VPN Review for NordVPN that will give you an idea of what I like and don't like about the service.
In addition, I'll also give you a quick look at the purchase & installation of NordVPN on both my computer and mobile device. In the end, my hope is that you'll be able to look at this and determine whether NordVPN is the right fit for you and your needs.

Hi Josh, I just purchased a year plan NordVPN from your affiliate link. It is a bit confusing because the phone app doesnt work in China. The "too casual" CS guided me to set up a setting on the phone to use the VPN without to app. Such hassle. I used ExpressVPN since January and have never had any problems. I am switching to NordVPN because I trust your opinion and review. I do really hope it does work well.

@FarWestChina 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Syifa, I use both ExpressVPN and NordVPN out here and I've been able to use both fairly well. Here's what I always tell people in China - there is no "best" VPN in this country. Every city and every province has its own controls of the internet, so what works well in Shanghai may not work well in Chengdu. I would give NordVPN a fair try and if you don't think it connects as well as you would like, take advantage of the fact that they offer 30-days money back guarantee.

@SyifaAdriana 7 жыл бұрын

I agree! I had tried Nord and have been having consistent hassle and trouble for both phone and laptop use. So I ask for a refund and come back to Express VPN. Thank you again Josh. Btw, is there any information that you seel on ebook about Baihaba Village? I am thinking of going there on the Chinese National Day (October) as it is less crowded.

Josh, you covered a lot of ground quickly and efficiently, very well-organized presentation, thanks. That was one of the best 8 minute tech reviews I've ever seen on any topic, srsly, I'm just a fan of how you do all your videos so concisely :) However, I would have liked a little more subjective review material, such as comparison with other VPNs and your experience with performance, any experience with tech support, etc. Can you also say anything about Nord's entry into the Chinese market? As far as I know, they only recently became publicly usable in mainland China. Have you been on a special deal with them for the past year? There was an offer for beta testers on reddit's r/China a couple of months back.

@FarWestChina 7 жыл бұрын

Hey Jonny, thank you very much for your kind words and recommendations. I do more in-depth reviews on another KZfaq channel that dive into comparisons of speed, features and tech support with other VPNs. I didn't want this one to drag on too long. As for the Chinese market, they've definitely made more of an effort to enter China this past year. They've worked well for me along with a few other VPNs that I rely on heavily.

@johnnylaramie3722 7 жыл бұрын

Great review, Josh, very concise and informative. Can you make some comparisons about Nord's performance to Express and others you've used? Has Nord become available publicly in mainland China recently? I recall they offered beta testing on r/China a couple of months ago and were not usable in China before then, but you said you've been using them for a year? Thanks for a great review. PS- I couldn't find a way to use the Nord discount code, or any discount code on their site.

Sorry for the trouble, Johnny. The link is easy to miss but it's there, even for WeChat and Alipay. If you can, go back to the order page (nordvpn.com/order/), click "Other" and then find the link that says "Got Coupon?". That's where you put in FARWESTCHINA.

Hey KZfaqrs, you gonna buy NordVPN after watching this video? Don't... I gave it a try for a month in Jan 2018, and then finally bought a year subscription and guess what, it was taken down by Qatar Government while leaving me with no option at all. You want to know why, because I spent $70 on a 1 year plan, and the NordVPN had been blocked from 48th day onwards, and frankly don't want to spend any bucks on VPN anymore, not at least right now. So, that's my two cents, DON'T BUY NordVPN!

VPN speeds can be faster (even ever so slightly) if you connect to a closer server. So if I'm in China, it's better for me to connect to a server in California as opposed to one in New York. Make sense?

The top of my interface on NordVPN looks different than yours. On the top of mine it has Map, Servers and Settings. In the Servers, you click on a country then a drop down button that shows a bunch of different numbers, each number is a different city in that country, you can also save what you want into your favorites or which server you want the program too open to if you have it opening at startup. I also got mine for $3.23 a month for a 2 year plan. Oh...when you got to the phone part that's what mine looks like on my computer, the list of countries and to the right there's a gray button to connect to that country and a white button that looks like a page that drops down and shows different cities but as numbers, depending on the country there are more numbers to choose from. Anyway..that's how mine looks to get to different cities. I don't use a cell as I find them annoying for my eyes and fingers, besides, I grew up in the 70s, we didn't need phones wherever we went and we survived. We did more with ourselves as well, as our heads weren't constantly looking down in shame and embarrassment. lol

Thanks for the comment! I used the latest software as of 2017 so either you might be using a Windows version (and maybe that looks different? I don't know) or perhaps you're using an older version of the software. Either way, the functions are essentially the same and it's good to hear that you're getting good use out of NordVPN.

Those of us outside the big cities have to deal with the Great Firewall no matter you use Chinese or international cell service. Also, China is blocking VPN apps from the CHINA app store...that's important to note. We as foreigners aren't affected because we don't use the China app store.

I have Nord VPN. I can only give you my opinion based on my own personal experience with it and I am not impressed with it. It seriously slows down your connection speeds . Speeds Without Nord VPN Connected. Ping 43, Download 269.31, Upload 11.88 . Speeds with Nord CONNECTED Ping 42, Download 60.45, Upload 2.00. I have found on many occasions, When I am trying to connect to several websites. I have experienced, it slows you down to the point where I had to turn it off to complete the connection. I am not hating people. it is, what it is. If you want to watch NETFLIX you have to turn it off. Also do not configure Nord VPN to automatically connect on start up. I had a power outage and it shut down my computer. I Had Nord VPN configured to automatically connect on start up. When the power came back on. Nord VPN could not connect and would not allow my computer to startup and consequentially I could not connect to the internet because Nord VPN was Blocking my connection. I contacted Apple Support and after hours of diagnostic troubleshooting. We concluded Nord VPN was preventing the connection to the Internet. I screwed up and got caught up in the Hype. Just like the one you are watching. I entered into a two year contract to save some money. I believe its 2 years for $79.00. However I strongly suggest you test drive it before you commit yourself. It has a lot of great features and the price is reasonable. However , it really slows down your connection speeds. Try Express VPN then try Nord VPN. thats what I should have done. My personal conclusion is, make sure you try outNord VPN before you buy. Try other VPNs Like Express VPN. I have heard good things about it. Again my knowledge of Express VPN is solely based on second hand information. like I said, I bought Nord VPN. Then make an educated decision based on your own personal experience. if you find a better VPN. please let me know. I will take the $79.00 hit and chalk it up to cognitive development. Sorry Nord it is what it is. You seriously need to work on your connection speeds. I have it on my Ipad, Iphone, Imac, and My Nvidia shield. they all experience the same damn problem. With my Nvidia shield, I don't even turn it on. Because the sites recognize the VPN and require you shut it down to access their content. As a result, I forget to turn it back on and if I were to turn it back on, at some point again. I will be required to turn it off. I have heard and I am not sure if its true. You do not experience this problem with Express VPN. With Nord VPNs product, it is "Buyer Beware" . Hope this helps in your decision making as to which VPN to get. Test drive your VPN before you commit....... Semper FI

Thanks for the feedback, sir! I always recommend people to get both ExpressVPN and NordVPN since they both have 30 day money back guarantees. Find out which one works best and then return the other (or use it as a back up like I did). In the end, all VPNs slow down your internet...there's no getting around that.
