## Reviews

### "NordLayer Review" — 4.0/5

> **Rakhi** | *23 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its strong security features combined with a simple user experience. It provides secure remote access, identity-based controls, and centralized management without feeling overly complicated for everyday use.
> 
> **Cons**: Troubleshooting connection or access issues can sometimes take extra time, especially when policies, gateways, or user permissions are involved. The experience can also feel a bit limited when deeper customization is needed.
> 
> It is positive because it offers a secure and practical way to manage remote access for teams. It is especially useful for organizations that want stronger network security, easier user control, and a more manageable alternative to traditional VPN setups.

### "Best security tool on the market" — 5.0/5

> **Andy** | *19 June 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very good and usefull tool for every network security needs. It's a very reliable software that i cannot recommend enough
> 
> **Cons**: I don't have any specific negative aspects to say about the software. It's a very good tool for everyday security
> 
> I have it on every work computer that I use for it to work and protect all of the software that I use.

### "Good VPN connection" — 5.0/5

> **Sally** | *22 April 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's very simple to use and provides a stable and reliable VPN connection. I really like that it doesn't lower your normal Internet speed at all like other apps do.
> 
> **Cons**: When you use it for the first time and haven't logged it yet, by default it is on "always on VPN" which means it disables your Internet until it's connected to the VPN. It does have the option to disable it, however, it's a little hard to see, so if you don't know about it, you will be without Internet connection and not realizing why.
> 
> I have been using it for a year and It's very good, it provides a reliable VPN connection. The interface is very user friendly too.

### "Best way to keep a safe connection at work" — 5.0/5

> **Rebeca** | *19 June 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: NordLayer is the perfect way to keep a safe connection, specially while handling private data from patients, wherever I'm at.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes it logs off automatically, which requires a new connection to make sure I'm able to keep a safe connection while I work.

### "Remote workstation is great with NordLayer" — 5.0/5

> **Mas Idayu** | *9 August 2022* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: iPhone, Android, Linux, and Macintosh are all supported devices for this VPN, which allowed me to run the same VPN across all of my gadgets and get an excellent connection. Even during a trial version, NordLayer offers the most reliable IP address selection from various countries.
> 
> **Cons**: Currently, the only details accessible are a detailed description of the remote device's CPU and RAM and its connection time. Counting the time spent on a machine or in a group over a given period is problematic. Last week, it was impossible to identify whose computers had been accessed.
