NordVPN is known as world first class VPN for torrenting. But to know whether it is really a reliable alternative to use or not, we have test their services. The following is what we have experience and we would suggest you to read before you are purchasing their monthly or yearly subscription specially to use their VPN services for torrenting.

Features:

While NordVPN offers many privacy and online security related features but some of them are worth mentioning here. Specially if you are very concern about your online privacy then you should know about the following privacy and online security features of NordVPN which are also necessary to have if you are using VPN for torrents downloading.

Dedicated IP Address: Very few VPN companies offer this feature to their users. The dedicated IP address allow you to have same IP address on specific servers. So, if you want to use same IP address for specific reason then this feature of NordVPN will allow you to do this.

Tor Over VPN: This feature will make it impossible to trace the source of internet traffic. By using Tor over VPN, your online activities will become impossible to trace by anyone. For a torrent lover, this is a cool tool to use.

Double VPN: As the name says by it. Double VPN will offer you double encryption. This double encryption is unbreakable. But according to some online reviews, you may see some difference in downloading speed when you use this tool.

Anti DDos: DDos attacks are becoming very common online due to which you may lose important data from your computer or someone can get access of it without your permission. This tool by NordVPN protect you from such kind of attacks including hacking attacks.

Zero log policy: NordVPN is very cleared about their log policy. They have mentioned many time on their website about their strict no log policy. This will surly build confidence within you when you will use NordVPN for torrenting. No log policy means that your online activities like what are you browsing, what are you downloading, which torrent file you are download or uploading or what torrent client you are using for torrenting will not be stored by NordVPN. Although the information about account like your name and IP address will also not be stored or shared with anyone.

We have test several sever of NordVPN to know and confirm their downloading speed.
