Mainly so someone doesn’t get my ip and know my city and sometimes I sail the high seas
I know ip is useless. I just don’t want someone to get my city and send an investigator
I fully agree with your point. I feel like sponsor scripts should say these points. 1: if somebody sends you an ip tracker link Nord won’t leak your IP 2. if you want to watch georestricted content 3. If you are on someone else’s network and you don’t want them peeping your websites. 4. 🏴☠️
Yeah, but it's useless for that. If you pirate from Usenet or one click hosters you don't need a VPN, and if you use torrents or other peer to peer protocols you need port forwarding, which NordVPN doesn't support
It works for me and the ISP hasn’t caught on
