We say NordVPN and here's why

Deciding which VPN is best for you can be tricky. Different VPNs cater to different needs, and there are plenty of questionable VPN providers out there. It’s surprisingly easy to make the wrong choice. To help level the playing field, we’re going to compare Avast VPN vs. NordVPN and see which one is the best choice for you.

In short, we recommend NordVPN over Avast SecureLine VPN. It has more features and is a lot faster, to name just two. The biggest problem with Avast as a company, however, is the looming shadow of the Jumpshot scandal, where Avast used a subsidiary called Jumpshot to sell customer data. While Jumpshot has since been shut down and Avast has promised to improve its carelessness with customer data, it’s too much of a black mark to ignore.

Overall, NordVPN offers a much more comprehensive feature set than Avast SecureLine VPN. While both offer a kill switch — which disables your internet if the VPN fails for any reason — NordVPN works much better because you can configure it for both general use and for specific apps. It’s a small detail, but an important one.
