How do you find nord vpn?

It’s good, but not amazing. When it’s connected it’s quick and I barely noticed a difference in speed.

I tried keeping it on all of the time (because why not) but at least once a day it would just stop working. It would show I was connected but I couldn’t browse or load anything through the connection. I think it was the apps kill switch stopped my data when connection was briefly lost, but not reconnecting once I was back online.

I just use it when I need it now, but use 1.1.1.1 which is amazing

Thanks I Might give it a try. I use 1.1.1.1 also (agree it’s great) but sometimes I use a vpn so I can be in the uk.

The UI of Nord VPN is a bit naff, but it’s one of the few VPNs that works with Netflix and streaming

Love the wallpaper. Where did you get it from?

It’s from https://alvarcarto.com/phone-background/ and it’s free! You just type in your town, and select your device. There’s a few different colours to choose from.

How nice is that new Apollo logo… I think it’ll be my icon for a while (it’s the first decent one they’ve custom made since launching Ultra IMO)…

Yeah, it’s awesome! The first one wasn’t bad, but the rest are pretty ropey.

I’m using Nord, and pretty happy with it. It’s active about 99% of the time, I don’t generally notice any slowdown. It doesn’t play nice with iPlayer, however.

Isn’t 1.1.1.1 just Cloudflare’s DNS service? Or are they doing a VPN now too?

It is just a DNS service. I’ve noticed it’s sped my connection up, although not by much.

It uses a VPN profile but isn’t a VPN. It offers more privacy than not using it, but not as much as using a proper VPN though

Ah ok, thanks. That was the impression I got when looking at the app.

I’ve already manually set my DNS to point at 1.1.1.1, so don’t think the app will gain me anything new!

Thats some serious colour matching skills! - but what if you have an app that isnt in the ‘rainbow’ spectrum?!

Also good to see another Dozens forum member on here @Dunsford!
