NordVPN's server network is the largest in this comparison at 6,400+ across 111 countries. NordLynx, its WireGuard-based protocol, consistently produces the highest speeds - around 15% faster than the next-best option. Deloitte has audited the no-logs policy three years running, one of the most consistent audit records in the industry.
Threat Protection operates at the DNS layer and works without the VPN active. Panama's framework is favourable: no mandatory data-retention law, no Eyes membership.
The privacy score reflects one documented factor: a 2018 server breach in Finland where an attacker accessed a rented server via an exposed remote-management interface. Nord disclosed the incident in 2019 and has since migrated to colocated hardware. The infrastructure has improved, but the incident is a matter of record.
