Find out how to use NordVPN, its main features, the different subscription plans and current offers.
Personally, I’ve been using NordVPN for over a year. As I travel a lot, I often connect to public networks, whether in hotels or cafés. In my case, a VPN is essential to protect my personal information, especially my bank accounts.
I also use NordVPN during my travels to access Canadian content, without any geographical restrictions. I haven’t noticed any variation in speed when the VPN is active. I can make video calls and listen to broadcasts without any problems or slowdowns.
I took out a two-year subscription, which cost me CA$140 (that’s about CA$6 a month). This VPN is one of my digital nomad essentials, along with an eSIM card, password manager and cloud storage.
NordVPN’s user interface is intuitive and easy to use. Here’s a step-by-step guide to connecting to a server in the country of your choice. We’ll use Canada as an example.
First, create an account on the NordVPN website. Then choose your subscription and install the application on the device of your choice. For Apple computers, you can either download the software from the NordVPN website, or download the application directly via the App Store.
Once the software has been launched, click on Log in. Your browser will open with a window for you to enter your login details. You will then be automatically redirected to the application.
In the left-hand sidebar, you’ll find the list of countries available for connection. To select a particular city or region, hover over the country line and click on the three small dots to the right. A menu will then open with server options.
In the Servers tab, you’ll see a detailed list of available servers. You can select a particular one if you wish.
Finally, you can also simply click on Quick connect. NordVPN will then assign you the best server based on your current location.
Alternatively, you can connect to a server located in another country simply by clicking on the desired country in the menu or on the map.
And there you have it! You are now connected to a secure server, and your data will remain protected while you browse.
To disconnect, click on Disconnect in the top right-hand corner of the window.
For users wishing additional options, NordVPN offers:
Speciality servers are located at the end of the country list. In the Speciality Servers section, you’ll find Double VPN, Onion Over VPN and P2P. Simply click on the desired server and NordVPN will automatically connect you to the best location according to your needs.
NordVPN subscriptions come in three options: one month, one year or two years. You’ll benefit from an annual or two-year subscription. The longer the period, the bigger the discount.
NordVPN offers four different plans, depending on features:
Federal and provincial sales taxes must be added to the total price.
NordVPN charges subscription fees in US dollars. To save 2.5% in foreign currency transaction fees, use a card like the Scotiabank Passport™ Visa Infinite* Card or the Scotiabank Gold American Express® Card.
NordVPN subscriptions are often on special offer. What’s more, annual and 2-year subscriptions cost 60% or 75% less than a monthly subscription.
With the Milesopedia offer, you’ll also get 3 extra months free. At the moment, the subscription is on special offer for Cyber Monday.
NordVPN offers a complete solution for protecting your data, bypassing geographic restrictions and ensuring secure browsing. With a wide range of options and flexible plans, it’s sure to meet everyone’s needs.

NordVPN offers a 30-day trial period, allowing you to test its features free of charge. If you’re not satisfied, you can request a full refund.
The 2-year plan is generally the best choice for optimum value for money, offering a very competitive monthly rate. If you’re looking for more flexibility, the annual plan remains an excellent option with a good compromise between cost and duration.
