![NordVPN has massively breached the security of its users by requiring a browser log in, always opening chrome first and creating a third party connection to log in [802x287 - 23KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/m130TO.png){kind=link}
I log in without a browser. I don’t have chrome on my machine.
What now?
You will be forced to upgrade the client at some point.
You will be logged out, and the only way to log in will be through chrome browser integration, AKA whole OS telemetry now passing to Nord, AKA pointless to even have a VPN anymore.

Full refund time, then. I don’t use Chrome and never will. They can’t modify my contract of service without my permission, so if they attempt this with my hardware they’ll be refunding my remaining time with them.
Considering the aggressive marketing I imagine this was the idea from the start, lose money on advertising/user acquistion then start ramping up the tracking.
Update us when it happens, please. Curious of the timeline on this particular drag net as it squeezes in.
Clearly shows Nord is pozzed and now part of the alphabet collection for sure, if it wasn't before. Not intentionally even - unintentionally simply by capitulating to lazy software development and giving CIA-Alphabet-Jewgle the keys to the kingdom.
Evil is evil, intentional or otherwise.
you do not need a client app to connect to ANY semi-respectable VPN
ALSO : no app needed with secure VPNs like ExpressVPN (based in carribean).
NO APP NEEDED if you type lots of fields into mac OS or Linux for VPN
No sneaky mystery code running if you need piece of mind, if you use ExpressVPN
Its the most expensive VPN of the three I use, but its the only big trusted one that never has been hacked, or negative info in news.
How much does it cost
ExpressVPN is bad, theyre the McDonalds of VPNs. Even though I like McDonalds. Search Torrent Freak for dirt on VPNs giving up users data and legal cases
Only 99 dollars for 15 months (they have sales now and then) and you get every single day of it in a deal.
Or the normal price of 99 dollars for 12 months, most of the time.
The reason i think its expensive is because i use many paid vpns , each for different things on different machines and cannot link them together by mistake, and I use ExpressVPN as a soulution when the shitty hacked untrusted VPNS like nord are blocked by google Captcha or blocked by anon emailers.
Express VPN always has a few new IP exit points that work that are not on a blackhole list used by google/banks.
Now that I typed that... some fbi fed will ruin that avenue.
Probably between 4 and 7 dick pics.
This is correct, no browser is needed for log in with the most current version of nord.
