Nordvpn Audit Results: Performance and Safety
As mentioned above, West Coast Labs experts have executed a series of tests to confirm that NordvPN offers satisfactory levels of performance and security. These are:
- VPN functionality. During this test round, experts verified that some of the key characteristics of the supplier work correctly and consistently. These are self -conspressors at start, automatic connection, divided tunnel and murder switch. The latter is especially crucial for user safety.
- Speed ​​performance. A series of speed tests were also carried out in seven regions (United States, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Oriental Asia and Australia). NordvPN delivered 15.2% faster downloads, faster and 7.9% lower latency charges.
- Accessibility to the website. The supplier obtained an accessibility of the 100% website in the 100 most visited sites, with minimal captcha’s occurrences.
- Impact of the VPN system. The tests show a minimum impact on system performance during navigation when connected to Nordvpn software.
- VPN time to connect and success. NordvPN obtained an average connection time of 1.67 seconds in the 10 tested locations.

When commenting on the findings, Briedis said: “This evaluation reflects the work we have done to make Nordvpn fast, reliable and safe. We design it to work in the background in the background: quickly connect, turn on the resources of the system, and ready to protect in a variety of scenarios, including those that test serious vulnerabilities such as Tunnelvision. It is good that those goals be confirmed.”
NORDVPN is known for regularly placing its VPN software in independent scrutiny.
Last March, the supplier published the results of its last security audit that occurred between June and August 2024. On that occasion, experts discovered 31 non -critical findings, and most of them have already been set at the time of publication.
In February 2025, NordvPN also confirmed its non-log claims with an independent audit for the fifth time since 2018.
