User Testimonials
	NordVPN	OpenVPN Access Server
Likelihood to Recommend	When starting an SEO project, it helps a lot to do keyword research since you can activate the VPN and have real data that does not manipulate your search history or your location, if you mix the VPN with an incognito section you can have real data without any kind of manipulation, which allows you to create quality and efficient content that really solves the problems of the target users. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We used it to connect our two offices together. It aids in secure file transfer for remote users. Some of the 3rd party software is only allowed to run on specific IP addresses due to the license and this is a way that remote users can utilize that software without being on-site Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	NordVPN has a number of partner companies, e.g. Revolut, N26, etc. which all offer NordVPN as a perk. I use it for that very reason. I haven't seen other products have a such a wide network of partners.
