How to cancel NordVPN

Online:

1. Sign in at my.nordaccount.com → Subscriptions
2. Click Cancel next to your active plan
3. NordVPN offers a discount (often 50% off for 12 months). Click Continue Cancellation to skip.
4. Confirm. VPN access continues until billing date.

30-day money-back guarantee. NordVPN refunds annual or multi-year subscriptions if you cancel within 30 days of payment. This applies even if you've used the VPN heavily during that month — Nord is genuinely generous here. Email support@nordvpn.com to request the refund; it usually processes within 5 business days.

Multi-year plans: Nord's most common pricing is 2-year ($3.79/mo, billed $90 upfront) or 1-year ($5.99/mo, billed $72 upfront). The 2-year is cheaper per month if you keep it. If you cancel mid-term, no prorated refund — but you keep service until the end.

Auto-renewal warning: Nord's plans auto-renew at the standard rate, NOT the promotional rate. A 2-year at $3.79/mo renews at $14.99/mo standard. Always check your renewal date and disable auto-renewal at least 7 days before if you don't want to renew.

Free VPN alternatives (caveat: free VPNs sell your data; use carefully):

• Proton VPN free — slow, limited servers, but Swiss-based and doesn't log
• Cloudflare WARP — free, fast, but more of a "privacy network" than a true VPN
• Mozilla VPN — paid but cheaper than Nord ($4.99/mo); same Mullvad backend

Bundled with router/antivirus: If you have a Bitdefender, Norton, or some routers, a basic VPN is often bundled free. Check before paying for Nord separately.

Cryptocurrency users: If you paid in crypto, refunds are converted to USD at the rate at refund time — you might receive more or less than you paid in dollar terms depending on price movement.
