Should I get nord vpn?

[Atlas32]

Is it legit and will it keep my information safe?

[Naedmi]

Yeah pretty much.

[Atlas32]

I never do that, I only get my keys from steam or humble. I wouldn't use it to rip anyone off, I only want it to keep my data and details safe because I don't want to be hacked.

[Schlemiel]

this adds security and sure it is safe but it may get your steam account banned. steam doesn't allow to use vpn since you will change the price too, and the price is different to every region because of taxes and economy. so if you wanna have a risk of getting banned you can use it.

A person who wants to hack you will hack you with or without a VPN. A VPN service encrypts your connection, but it's your responsibility to keep your information safe.

VPNs, like antiviruses, are only helpers.

That being said,

Using a VPN to bypass regional restrictions is not allowed, but an user can use a VPN to connect to Steam and play games.

A user must also stay within the geographical/countries as to not bypass region restrictions either.

Most in the SEA region use it to get around their crappy traffic in certain areas. But still stay within their borders. But the cost is latency.

The Steam SSA is actually a littl evague with regards the VPN mention due to the clause "or for any other purpose" which has not been tested in any court as to whether it refer to the region disguising or the use of VPN with Steam altogether. Steam Support actually advise NOT using VPN.

Further, using VPN may prevent websites you viist from ascertaining your location etc. but does not necessarily benefit your privacy as ALL your traffic to/from the net then is available to the VPN provider.
There's no real protection against this company being hacked or selling access to / aggregate statistics based on - your data.

The only real purpose of a VPN is to get you into otherwise locked sites.

For whatever reason, i cannot access TF2 wiki without VPN. Gives me error 403.

NordVPN isn't the best one out there IMO.

[trousers]

here's a list of things

• NordVPN is an okay VPN service, but not the best or best value. It's worthwhile to do your research. They all have different speeds, servers, policies, prices, customer service...
  
• VPN use is only really a useful thing if you need a greater degree of privacy and/or security, need to easily change your IP to a different one, need to get around filters and other fun things, frequently use public wi-fi, yadda yadda.
  
• Steam don't care as long as you don't use it to circumvent anything. If they did care, they'd be at high risk of accidentally banning people who travel, which is a thing that people do, so I'm told. I occasionally use Steam through a VPN AND travel, and nobody cares, because I'm not changing my account settings to a fake country of residence to exploit regional pricing. Which is a fairly deliberate act. Steam doesn't automagically change region just because your IP changes.
  
• VPN providers with a no-logging policy*, are, of course, obliged to turn over anything to law enforcement on request like everyone else - but they have nothing to turn over.
  
• VPN use can be detected, for example, Netflix ban a lot of VPNs (but not all!). This is because Canada.
  
• I like kittens.

*some lie about having one, so be wary

You can already do that in some states. States who don't allow it is still cosidered illegal as is sending/receiveing drugs across state lines.

Same for Tunnel Bear.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Thinking ANYTHING will protect your information on the internet!

HAHAHAHAHA!

Depending on what kind of janky or illegal stuff you are upto, there is an old saying of "where the is a will there is a way".

If you are on any "lists", or in a country with shadow laws and telecom logging rules and such, nothing you do online is secure.

The more a company brags about being "secure" the less likely they actually are, and the few companies that WERE actually secure have been slapped with lawsuits or pressured into handing over whatever information governments want at the threat of sending the company owners to jail.

When criminals hear about "secure" internet, they will stupidly flock to it, where everything they do can be monitored even easier, since they would have no reason to go to these "secure" services otherwise unless they were doing something "questionable".

The only thing a VPN is actually good at is if you live in a country with internet censorship and need a way around it, but even then it is likely illegal and will get you in trouble if caught.
