NordVPN
We strive to make the internet better than it is today. It can be free from online threats, censorship, and surveillance, as envisioned in 1989 — the year the World Wide Web was invented.
In 2012, four childhood friends came together to build NordVPN. They had spent a lot of time in different parts of the world but saw the same picture: growing internet censorship, content control, and intrusive government surveillance. In other words, they saw a rapidly growing need for an internet security tool that’s easily accessible to everyone.
The creators set up the first VPN server and shared the prototype among friends. The feedback was extremely positive, which encouraged them to continue their work. The road wasn’t easy, but grit, determination, and pursuit of innovation kept them going.
NordVPN takes its inspiration from the Nordic ideals of confidence, trust, and innovation. We value our customers’ freedom of choice and strive to be innovative with our technology.
Market leader
What started with a single VPN server is now one of the most trusted internet security providers in the market, serving over 14 million users worldwide. Known for strong values and well-thought-out features, NordVPN is recognized by influential tech sites and IT security specialists.
Internet security solutions
NordVPN grew beyond its original design. Along with VPN solutions, we now provide wide-ranging internet security solutions for our users. NordVPN is one of the founding members of the VPN Trust Initiative (VTI). VTI is aimed at educating the public about cybersecurity and setting quality standards for the whole VPN industry. With it, we hope to improve VPN services and help people stay safe online, no matter which provider they choose.
Internet freedom is one of our core values. So we decided to put our money where our mouth is and got working on numerous digital rights projects. We help people fight surveillance and censorship, giving emergency VPN access to freedom fighters and journalists who work in dangerous conditions. We support non-profit organizations and conferences focused on human and digital rights. And we work hard to educate the public about the importance of cybersecurity every single day.
