Have to set up kill switch manually on WindowsĪccess to Disney+ is great for families.That said, it’s a nice feature to have if you want a VPN both for security and entertainment. We definitely don’t recommend using multi-hop when streaming, as the extra ‘hops’ can cause severe speed loss. The result: it was twice as hard for hackers to follow us. It means they hopped us at least twice, running our connection through not just one but multiple servers. Multi-hop means they didn’t just “hop” us from our location to one encrypted server. NordVPN offered us an extra level of security because they utilize multi-hop, or what is sometimes referred to as double VPN technology. And the company has multiple servers in the different countries where Disney+ operates, so it’s easy to access content libraries from anywhere. That means wherever we might find ourselves in the world, we know that we can get a fast, stable connection, probably from somewhere right in our neighborhood.

One reason NordVPN is often at the top of our best VPNs list? At the last count, NordVPN maintained a staggering 5,525 servers in 59 different countries. For instance, if you run out of Disney+ shows to watch and want to torrent instead, you’ll need a secure VPN like NordVPN. Sure, we don’t need to be that secure and private to stream Disney+, but it sure comes handy when encrypting other types of online activities. So as far as we’re concerned, Panama makes a great place to locate a VPN’s headquarters. VPNs in member countries can be and frequently are asked to surrender user data to government agencies. What’s so special about Panama? It isn’t a member of Five Eyes, Nine Eyes, or 14 Eyes, the three international surveillance alliances headed by the U.S. We like the fact that NordVPN’s headquarters are in Panama. Static, shared IP addresses (though dedicated addresses are available).
