    It works quite well. A lot of sites I visit can detect if a server I’m using is from a VPN and block it but it’s quick and painless to hop to a different server the site doesn’t recognize and passes me through. Using it in Linux is fine and all but it has the annoying habit of blocking my subnet so I can’t download torrents directly to my NAS drive.

      NordVPN wasn’t hiding my IP address when using bittorrent, so if you’re using it for that you should test if it’s working.

        It’s been working just fine for 4 years. Never had an issue with it as long as I configure my torrent client settings to only use NordLynx in case it drops off.

          You checked with ipleak.net? I thought everything was working fine but when I checked using the ipleak torrent my IP address was fully exposed. I used the exact same configuration with Proton and PIA and everything was fine. There are a number of posts on reddit and github, etc, from people who have experienced the same issue.

          It happened to me early last fall, and there were posts from the summer about it.
