Nord VPN will show you your IP address and say you are unprotected, even if you are using another VPN, to scare you into buying their product.
Plot twist: ALL VPN providers will tell you that you aren’t protected, regardless of your IP address of it isn’t one of theirs.
Using a VPN as if it were an anonymizing proxy is a mistake to start out with. I hate how VPN companies want you to think they are a good solution to tracking.
nord vpn is a scam ahnyway. So, no surprise there
Many VPN providers do that, it’s not unique to Nord VPN at all.
1 - Public VPN are a scam.
2 - It’s a good point from nordvpn to show you they can know your ip even if you use a VPN.
However :
1 - are you sure this is your ip ?
2 - if your current VPN works properly the site cannot know this is not your real IP.
Is it showing your real IP and ISP or the one from the other VPN?
Well, to be fair, if you’re using a VPN and it tells you your IP and ISP then you’re not protected
ROFL, avast did this but it wasn’t even the right IP.
I find their bullshit reasuring that they tell me im in Sweden even though im in the UK.
They all do that, like AVG said I was unprotected when I had Nord on and disguising my location.
If the advert is aware that you’re using a VPN, then it would be a bad VPN.
That is the same just like in Zenmate’s website!
What do you suggest instead?
71% off + gift … sounds like they’re really desperate
I signed up for several years of Nord through a promotion and stacked coupon that made it crazy cheap.
Speed was so poor that it’s basically unusable for my purposes. It might work for casual web browsing or email, but streaming and downloading are not going to happen
This is not my real IP
It is showing the IP on from the VPN I use, which is Proton, but the ISP is the real one I use.
It is my VPN’s IP mask.
What are you attempting to do? It’s all about what you want and what your threat model is. Any of these VPNs will stop your ISP from being able to intercept traffic if you think they are, but they have no way to stop Google from spying on you.
If you’re trying to establish a virtual private network like accessing a corporate LAN from your home then a VPN is the right tool. If you’re trying to be very anonymous TOR or I2P would probably serve you better than a VPN. If you’re trying to get around a geolocation based block one of these VPN providers is probably fine, but there are also proxying services for that.
