Yeah, the advertising stuff always bothers me. NordVPN is not unique in that sin, but it’s still a sin. Since I know why I want a VPN that misrepresentation doesn’t affect me. I sought them out, not the other way around. But if they want to build a large audience of people who don’t, like, pirate content or use public WiFi or want the Meshnet, they have to come up with bullshit to scare them with.
I’ll check out your link, thank you!

For me it’s kind of an honesty thing. The biggest thing is if they are lying to their customers there… also apparently lying about where it’s based (They are in Lithuania, which has manditory data retention laws), only using panama as a tax haven.
Bottom line is, it’s about trust… They have a history of lying about a lot of small things, which then makes me think twice before trusting them with bigger things.
