How we wrote this review: every fact below comes from NordVPN’s own pages, checked on 23 October 2026. We did not run our own speed or streaming tests, so this page contains no test scores.
NordVPNAd is our overall pick for India. Check its current server locations, apps and prices on NordVPN’s own site before you buy.
NordVPN and India after the 2022 CERT-In directive
In April 2022 India’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) ordered VPN providers, data centres and other infrastructure companies to collect user data and hand it over on request. NordVPN announced on 20 June 2022 that, as a result, it would shut down its servers operating in India on 26 June 2022.
What this means for you:
- NordVPN has no servers physically located in India. Some reviews still claim that NordVPN runs its own hardware in Mumbai; NordVPN’s own announcement says otherwise.
- If you need an Indian IP address (for example, for an Indian banking app while you are abroad, if the bank accepts VPN connections), check the server list inside the NordVPN app before you pay, and use the 30-day money-back guarantee if it does not work for you.
- We found no national Indian law that bans personal VPN use, although some district orders in Jammu and Kashmir ban or suspend VPNs (for example the Bandipora order for 2026, read 7 November 2026). The directive applies to companies that run servers in India, not to people who use a VPN.
Privacy: six independent no-logs audits
NordVPN lists six independent checks of its no-logs policy: two by PricewaterhouseCoopers AG Switzerland (2018 and 2020) and four by Deloitte (2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025). An audit confirms that the company’s systems matched its policy at the time of the check; it is not a guarantee for the future, but few VPN providers publish this many.
Apps and devices
- One account, up to 10 devices at the same time, according to NordVPN.
- Linux: NordVPN now offers a Linux app with a graphical interface (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora, Linux Mint and Raspberry Pi OS), as well as the command-line version. Older reviews that say “Linux is CLI only” are out of date.
- Split tunneling (choosing apps that do not use the VPN) works on Windows, Android and Android TV. The browser extensions can exclude chosen websites. There is no split tunneling in the macOS, iOS or Linux apps.
- Apps are also available for macOS, iOS and the major browsers; check NordVPN’s download page for the full list.
Price and refunds
NordVPN’s prices change often and differ by plan length and country, so we do not print them here; a number on a review page is usually out of date within weeks. Before you pay, check the price in rupees on NordVPN’s checkout page, including what the plan renews at.
NordVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, which is the safest way to check that it works on your connection and with the apps you care about.

Streaming in India
We did not test streaming services ourselves, so we do not claim that any of them works with NordVPN. Streaming platforms such as Disney+ Hotstar or Netflix actively block VPN connections from time to time, and their terms of use may restrict VPN use. If streaming is your main reason to buy, test it during the money-back period.

- 30-day money-back guarantee
Cons
- No servers physically located in India since 26 June 2022
