How to use this chart

There are a lot of components we look at when comparing a VPN, but in general terms, we look at the number and types of features, how easy it is to download and use, how reliable the service is and how effective the customer support is, and if the price matches the service.
This chart gives a general look at those components. Some VPNs are very similar, in which case it's best to continue reading to each section to learn more.

Speed

NordVPN's speeds are definitely faster, but VPNAccounts come close. With VPNAccounts you should still be able to stream content, use VoIP apps, and download without any lag or buffering.

Why Most Speed Tests are Pointless & How We Correctly Test VPN Speeds

Speed determines how fast content uploads, so if you're torrenting or streaming, you want the speed to be somewhat identical to your regular internet speed. Since a VPN encrypts your data, it usually takes a bit longer to send your data back and forth, which can slow down your connection. However, if your ISP deliberately slows down your connection (also known as throttling) a VPN might increase your internet speed. Testing a VPN is somewhat pointless because new servers pop up and affect speed. Your speed can also differ according to your location, so your speed test might not match ours. Having said that, we tested the speed in numerous locations to provide you with the average.

Servers

NordVPN definitely has more servers with over 4,000 of them in over 60 locations. However, VPNAccounts have servers in odd places where you might need them, like Dubai, UAE, Oman, and China.

The Big Mistake When Comparing Number of Servers and What to Really Look For

The ratio of servers to countries is an important factor to look at when choosing a VPN. Only paying attention to location or number of servers can get you in trouble. More servers generally means faster speeds, but if VPN X has a few more servers than VPN Y but twice as many users, VPN X will typically have slower speeds. Ideally, you want a VPN that has a lot of servers in every location. This way you won’t have to worry that server/country that you want will be overburdened and running slow

Support

You really can't go wrong with NordVPN's customer support. With so many ways to contact them and service available 24/7, you'll think you have a friend looking out for you at NordVPN. VPNAccounts does not have any customer support, but they do offer video tutorials and guides for installing their VPN.

How We Test Customer Support and Why Should You Care

We personally test the customer support team of every VPN we review. This means asking technical question through the live chat feature (where applicable) and measuring the response time for email questions. Whether you need to connect to a specific server, change your security protocol, or configure a VPN on your router, finding a VPN with quality customer support should be important to you.

Simultaneous Device Connections — Secures up to 6 Devices

No matter what operating system you're using, you can protect up to 6 devices at once with a NordVPN account. I tested the application on my iPhone, iPad, and Macbook, while my colleague used the same account on his Samsung S10, Galaxy Tab, and Windows PC. We were able to watch our favorite shows and sports without any problems. Additionally, NordVPN can be set up directly on any wireless router so that no matter how many devices you work with, you have constant security and privacy.

Since NordVPN-enabled routers count as one device, you can always share NordVPN's subscription with friends to save money. Note that too many connections at once could have a negative effect on your VPN speed and stability. If you are dissatisfied with these limitations you may want to consider IPVanish, as it allows unlimited simultaneous connections.

Device Compatibility — Available for Almost All Platforms

The NordVPN software is designed to provide a one-stop solution for various devices and operating systems. The apps are available worldwide for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android platforms. The service is also available for SmartTV, Fire TV (Amazon Firestick), and Kodi.

If your device isn't listed above, a browser extension is available for Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. Should this prove impossible, NordVPN can also be configured with a router that will enable you to bypass any device limitations. Since the router connects to everything else, you can use the VPN on devices that do not support NordVPN's native apps.

Ease of Setup & Installation — Simple and Straightforward

NordVPN’s interface may not be the most elegant but it has proven quite user-friendly. Downloading and installing the NordVPN apps is also a straightforward process, and I was connected within four minutes of getting a subscription. In every version (desktop or mobile), the menu makes it simple to choose between servers in different countries and select from the specialty servers.

NordVPN’s mobile and desktop apps share the same general appearance and functionality. It's a good one, as you won't need to learn anything new when switching devices. NordVPN is completely user-friendly aside from its command-line-only Linux version. Linux users, however, tend to know their way around the command line, so this may be a non-issue.

Upon launching the app and logging in, you will see a stylized world map with trees, boats, and pins. However, this feature is somewhat limited. It is sometimes difficult to select the location pins if you are zoomed out, especially in areas with dense servers, like Europe. The app’s server list can come in handy in this situation. It’s an alphabetical list that lets you select a country and view all the server locations within it.

In addition, NordVPN offers a list of its specialty servers, which are optimized for specific uses like dedicated IPs, Double VPN, P2P/ Torrenting, and Onion Over VPN. Once you find a server that fits your needs, you can add it to your favorite list for future use. The app displays your location, connection time, and public IP address when connected to a server.

The settings panel lets you toggle various configuration options, such as automatic VPN connection, VPN service running at startup, and activating CyberSec, NordVPN’s malware and ad blocker. There are options for protocol usage, LAN visibility, DNS switching, and multiple kill switches in desktop apps. In contrast, mobile apps have far fewer options due to operating system limitations and slower development.

How to Install NordVPN on Windows:

Get the NordVPN app. You need to access the NordVPN website and obtain the appropriate software for your computer.

Open the downloaded file. When the pop-up window comes up, click 'yes' to install the app, then 'install' to start it, and watch as it opens in a new window.

Follow the steps. The application's user-friendly interface will walk you through every step of setting up NordVPN and getting started.

That’s it! You can then connect to any server available in a single click and browse the web knowing that your information is well protected using it.

Visit NordVPN Website!

VPNaccounts.com can be configured on Windows, Mac, IOS, Android, Xbox, and Boxee. You need to set the VPN manually, and there are guides available on the website. There are step-by-step instructions and screenshots to help you out.

Once you subscribe to their service, they will send you the configuration files required to set up a manual connection. Installation is simple and can take up to 5 minutes.

If you’re a privacy-conscious user, you’ll be disappointed to know that they don’t support OpenVPN.

They offer an FAQ section where you can find answers to some of the most common problems. If you’re unable to find an answer to your questions in the FAQ section, you can contact the customer care team by opening a ticket. They generally reply within 24 hours.
