I'd prefer to have the router do the VPN-ing, so that it would apply to all machines in the house without anybody having to think about it. It should be possible...

I wrote to Nord about the concern above and got the following reply.dualstow wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 12:07 pm ~
Nord has a really good reputation and I believe that they don't log or pay attention to browsing, so no probelm there. And, in fact, I don't worry about an ISP knowing my surfing habits in the first place. The thrill of streaming Norwegian Netflix by faking an IP has dissipated.

In fact, on a Mac desktop, you are instructed to supply NordVPN with your keychain password which is the login to the computer itself. Nord's great reputation notwithstanding, that feels like giving up a lot of privacy at home to gain a little extra safety at Starbucks. I'll stick to using it for mobile devices.
Code: Select all
Regarding keychain, please uninstall/delete your current NordVPN application and install this one instead:

Just a quick look it seems like you need a package to run on a router firmware.dualstow wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 8:02 amI wrote to Nord about the concern above and got the following reply.dualstow wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 12:07 pm ~

To run on a router, you will most likely need custom firmware.

Nord is great. I have been a user before I switched to purevpn. The streaming experience on Nord wasn't that good so I bought purevpn's 7 day trial which was available for only $0.99 and it worked out amazing. I mean spending $1 isn't that big of a deal and get such fast speed.
