Mother of god 🤣 A vpn app that sells itself on no logs and being privacy focused and the first thing it does is this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m not sure I want to give them any of my data 📊 Also as you can see there are client side logs to some extent.

I would really really really really really really really avoid this.... USA company immediately wants to track you FUD sales F. that!

sorry the USA company part was the fact they use firebase.... sorry was typing fast earlier. Nord's privacy policy states they use Panama as a base..... this company makes a shit ton of money and spends a shit ton on advertising...... if you think that's a safe bet then good

@gnukeith 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is insane #Nord #VPn

@UK_Daniel_Card Because all applications these days are overly bloated due to the programming methods used to develop them trading development time for consuming way more resources through huge dependency trees and bloated code.

@Barnacules Strange how mullvad and proton clients aren’t this big then if all apps are bloated 🤣

@UK_Daniel_Card To store all their bullshit?

@TurvSec 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@UK_Daniel_Card What do you think of running no vpn but using Apple “advanced data protection” and “private browsing” feature with non precise locations.

@RodRosenstine Sounds sensible to me

@UK_Daniel_Card Electron app possibly explains it all 😀

@a2xchip 😂😂😂😂

@UK_Daniel_Card They are a disgrace to my name... Don't ever call me "NordVPN"

@UK_Daniel_Card Proton VPN is the only one worth considering if you value your privacy

@xylys wow what an extreme view to put all ur eggs in one basket and then to say: If you don't value privacy you don't agree. dick language

@UK_Daniel_Card Nord's massive app size screams bloatware and potential tracking; as a dev, I'd audit the code or switch to Mullvad for leaner, privacy-first VPN tech.

@Zenul_Abidin Mullvad is 350Mb I think 🤔

@spearhead30 lol nope 😂

@UK_Daniel_Card There's a reason why Nord isn't rated the top VPN lmfaooo

@UK_Daniel_Card That’s going to be an electron app isn’t it..

@rsmck Hehe it’s something like that 😂

@UK_Daniel_Card Go with Mullvad VPN

@3buneX yes I can see how testing NORD would work really well if I use another VPN.... LOL

@UK_Daniel_Card Wonder if you can crack open the file it generates in Notepad or text editor and see what it actually contains? (Or am I being silly, you’ve done that already and I haven’t seen it? 😅)

@HouseOfFaust I've removed it. it looks like spyware
